Pad size, typically 3.5", 5", or 6" in diameter, affects coverage, precision, and access to tight areas. Larger pads (6") are efficient for sanding broad, flat surfaces, reducing work time, while smaller pads (3.5"–5") excel in detail work or tight spots. The Festool 576339 Random Orbital Sander ETS EC150/5 EQ-Plus features a 6" pad for large areas, and the Festool 576263 Multi-Mode Sander RO 90 DX FEQ-Plus ROTEX uses a 3.5" pad for intricate or edge work. With a variety of pad sizes available, you can select the diameter that best fits your typical projects.
