The Festool 496508 Vlies, Green for 150 mm (6") Sanders, 10 Pack is a replacement polishing abrasive for Festool 150 mm sanders and the Surfix Oil Finishing System. This is a polishing abrasive designed for oil finishing and surface preparation on 150 mm (6 inch) sanders. Model number 496508. If you are applying oil and want even coverage worked into the surface instead of sitting on top, this is the accessory built for that job.

What matters here is the abrasive type. This is a Vlies polishing abrasive, not a standard sanding disc meant for stock removal. That makes it a better fit for finish work where the goal is consistent oil application and a controlled final surface. Festool specifically calls out that it helps work oil into the surface deep and evenly, which is exactly what you want when the finish matters as much as the prep.

The 6 inch, or 150 mm, diameter matches a wide range of Festool sanders in that size class. That keeps setup simple for shops and finish carpenters already running Festool 150 mm platforms. Instead of trying to adapt a general-purpose pad, you are using an accessory sized for the machine and the finishing system it was intended to support.

This pack includes ten green polishing abrasives, which makes it a practical buy for anyone doing repeated finishing work, production work, or keeping dedicated abrasives on hand for specific finishing stages. For a simple accessory, that matters. Consistent finish results usually come from using the right abrasive at the right point, not trying to stretch one worn pad through the whole job.

If you already own an ES 150, ETS 150, ETSC 2 150, ETS EC 150, LEX 150, or HSK-D 150 and you use the Surfix Oil Finishing System, this is the right kind of accessory to keep in the drawer. It is best suited for wood finishing and surface prep where control and even application matter more than aggressive cutting.
