Nobody has any input at all? Surprising...


I have a Bosch 6" that doesn't fit your criteria, but is a very usable
tool.


In 5", I have a Festool Rotex125, but you don't want to hear about that..


There is no comparison between the two in quality and functionality.


That said, the Bosch stood me in good stead for ten years, before I knew
what excellence in a ROS was all about.


But would you risk the investment in the Festool on exterior siding in
preparation for painting on old barn w/ hired help also a possibility?


Dude... stop right there....
