Festool Abrasives and Pack Sizes
July 3rd, 2007
There are, on many occasions, that I only need a small amount of paper to get a respective project done. Being a dealer, I have the privilege to grab whatever it is that I may need. However, as a consumer, I would imagine that there are times when a hobbyist, contractor or woodworker, would like to acquire just enough paper to get a job done. Mixing and matching Festool Abrasives (Rubin, Crystal, Brilliant 2, Titan II, Vlies, Platin, or Saphir), and several of each grit to complete a sanding cycle, with very little, if any left over.
Here is my question: What type of “job packs” would you all be interested in?
For example, for my floor installers: I make up “Stair Packages” A 10 Red Oak Stairtread job pack includes: 10 Rubin 50Grit, 10 Rubin 80Grit, 10 Rubin 120Grit, and 10 Rubin 180Grit.
What other ideas do you all have?

Ok dude. I got no input on job packs, but I have a couple of thoughts on sandpaper in general . . . my box that carries rotex paper needs to be about twice as big, at a minimum, and it’d be handy for the grits that get infrequent use (which is different for everyone) but for me would be anything above 400 or below 80. But having a 10 pack of 36 and 60 around, there are days.

Tim, this is a great idea. I could imagine packs for gloss finishes, to include mid-finer grits and maybe a few sheets of TitanII or Platin. Paint removal packs with Cristal sheets and so on. I think you are onto something here.
