The Festool 496151 Stickfix 150mm (6") Polishing Pad For Rotex RO 150 FEQ is a polishing pad accessory built for the Festool RO 150 FEQ ROTEX sander. This is a polishing pad designed for attaching polishing media for surface finishing, buffing, and wax application. Model Number 496151. If you already run an RO 150 FEQ and want one machine to handle both sanding and polishing, this is the pad that makes that changeover practical.

What matters here is not just that it fits the tool, but what it lets the tool do. With this pad installed, the RO 150 FEQ can run polishing sponges, felts, and sheepskin for finish correction and final surface work on furniture, countertops, automotive panels, boats, and other surfaces that benefit from a controlled polishing setup. That gives users a simple way to move from material prep into polishing without adding another dedicated machine to the truck or shop.

Festool uses StickFix mechanical fastening here, which keeps media changes quick and predictable. When you are stepping through different polishing stages, that matters. You can pull one pad off, press the next one on, and keep moving instead of wasting time dealing with slow attachment methods. The FastFix setup also allows tool-free pad changes, so switching the RO 150 FEQ from sanding to polishing is straightforward.

The pad measures 5-5/16 in. (135 mm) in diameter with a 3/8 in. (10 mm) height. That slightly smaller design is not just a number on paper. It helps protect finishes by giving you a little more control around edges and detailed surfaces where a larger backing pad can be less forgiving. If your work includes clear-coated panels, finished wood, or polished solid surfaces, that extra margin matters.

The backing pad is made from heat-resistant MPE foam, which is the right kind of material for polishing work where friction and heat build over time. It is also built with Multi-Jetstream design details and eight dust collection intake holes, though the main value on this accessory is polishing support rather than aggressive dust extraction. At about 0.15 lbs, it keeps the setup light and easy to manage on vertical or contoured work.

This accessory is specifically suited for the Festool RO 150 FEQ. That is the key buying check. If you own that machine and want to use polishing media instead of only sanding abrasives, this is the correct accessory path. It is a good fit for woodworkers, finish carpenters, auto detailers, boat owners, and remodelers who want better surface finishing from a tool they already trust. If you do not own the RO 150 FEQ, compatibility should be confirmed before buying.
