Do I have to use festool sanding discs only

No, any velcro 5" discs are good Try to stick to good quality brands, it's worth the extra over cheap discs.

You do not need Festool discs. They do have a unique hole pattern though. Some of the "universal" discs may not fit, but there are companies other than Festool that sell the discs.

Yes I am pretty sure but they last longer than regular ones. So it's worth it.

If you want to use the dust collection ports. Sanding discs are easily available on Amazon

The holes of other sand paper won't line up. You can use others but they won't vent dust or vacumn won't work

If you buy sanding disks that are not 'Festool' the holes will not line up.

You would be better off using a drip-less paint remover and then sanding after the paint has been removed. You would use a lot of disks as the paint has a tendency to clog them.

We used a Dewalt DWE6401DSR Vraibale speed disk sander to dry polish some countertops. Ideally one would use something along these lines.....Toolocity WEP110_VX Wet Granite/Concrete Polisher with Diamond Polishing Pads Package

Yes, of course. However, due to the nature of your question-- you do realize that these attach to the sanding foot of an electric sander, right? These will be rather ineffective if used without the proper machine.

The random orbital sander is more or less a finishing sander mainly for wood or plastic. A disc sander used to reduce welds or heavy metal is a rather rough sander. If you were to use a random orbital sander to do more than remove paint from steel, you would be sanding for a long time.

Hook & loop. Sanding disks can be found at many places... Trade catos, Lowes & the depot & Amazon..

It's a great orbital sander but I have only used it on woodworking projects. I have no knowledge about whether a polishing disc is available. Sorry.

I wouldn't want to use it refinish hardwood floors. I think it would be too time consuming. I think you would be better off purchasing a hand-held belt sander. I think a belt sander would work better and I think you'll have a wider selection of sand grit coarseness in the sanding belts. I have the highest course grit disks you can get on my Dewalt disk sander and it doesn't sand as thoroughly as a belt sander with a sanding belt with half the course grit.

Most any type of 7" disc works well on my machine. I have no idea what you mean by 'your discs won't fit' ? You buy, 7" discs, grit per work project, metal or wood, etc. Put your pad on per the instructions in your user manual. Then fit your sanding disc over the shaft, making sure you align the holes and slip on. Place you secure nut on and tighten it down. You're ready for sanding. I hope this helps. Later and good luck........

Yes you can. I remove the dust bag and attach the hose of my Festool CT 26 dust Extractor with an adaptor. Protect your lungs, make sure your shop vac filters all those fine particles and isn't just catching the big stuff. Otherwise, I think you would do less harm to your lungs by using the Makita dust bag that comes with the sander. Happy woodworking!!

No. The sanding head and belt-rotator motors are seperate. A 110-120v and a 15-20 amp circuit is all you will need. It is a slow, gentle machine...both motors never under much load for very long. If you overload it...trying to sand too much too fast, it has a an interrupt to save you.

These are used with a kit that you have. To buy before hand. It will have a holder, a Scrapper, and a rubber stamper. Once u have all those items u place the disc u plan to use into the holder dab poilsh on the design u wish to use then use scrapper to remove excess poilish and use the stmper to pick up the design then with a rolling motion transfer the design to your nail

The kit comes with the 1000 unigrit sanding disc (foam finishing disc), 3000 unigrit sanding disc (foam finishing disc), a unigrit hand pad, drill-operated easy-buff pad, PlastX supreme shine MF towel and 4oz headlight and plastic restorer solution. I just used my own drill gun to help the polishing.

My apologizes guy, I can't properly answer that question for you. You can email Festool's customer service though and ask them. Their customer service is awesome!! I would be curious to know what you find out. Cheers!!

If you need a sander to lie flat, then buy a belt sander. Laying a disc in a horizontal position is dangerous.
