The Festool 496802 Triangular Sanding Pad is a replacement sanding pad for the Festool RO 90 DX geared eccentric sander. This is a sanding pad designed for detail sanding in corners, edges, and other tight areas where a round pad cannot reach cleanly. Model Number 496802. If you already own an RO 90 DX and need to get back to precise finish work, this is the pad that puts that capability back on the tool.

What matters here is the shape and the intended abrasive size. This pad is built for Festool V93, 93 mm sanding abrasives, so it is set up for small-area sanding where control matters more than surface coverage. On trim, profiles, narrow parts, and detailed surfaces, a triangular sanding pad lets you work right into the corner instead of hand sanding what the tool misses. That saves time and keeps the finish more consistent.

The connection system is FastFix, which is important because fit is everything with a replacement accessory. A sanding pad that locks on correctly tracks better, runs as intended, and avoids the slop that can show up in your finish. Festool also specifies that this is the plate for attaching StickFix sanding pads in soft and hard versions, which gives RO 90 DX users some flexibility in how aggressive or forgiving they want the sanding setup to be.

This is a straightforward accessory, but it solves a very specific problem on the job: getting the RO 90 DX into detail-sanding mode without improvising. Whether you are refining edges, cleaning up small surfaces, or working around profiles where broad pads are clumsy, this accessory makes the sander more useful. The low listed weight of 0.25 lb also means it adds very little bulk to the tool.

The best buyer for this accessory is the RO 90 DX owner who actually uses the tool for more than open flat sanding. Finish carpenters, remodelers, cabinet installers, painters doing prep work, and automotive users handling tight contours will get the most out of it. If you do detail sanding regularly, a proper Festool replacement pad is the better move than trying to stretch a worn pad or make the wrong shape do the job.
