So here we're going to take a look at the ROTEX sander here I'll show you the product
features accessories & consumables and also how to maintain your product to get the most out of it.
So now we're going to take a look at the a few of the features on the machine
so firstly on top here we've got our switching so our ON and OFF switch is here and this is our
switch from rotary to eccentric motion so both of those modes it's got a 5mm orbit
then we flick it onto there and it's also got a 5mm rotary orbit with as well. So the
machine itself is 2.3 kilos and down the back here so we can remove the back and this is for when we
are using polishing so we can maneuver the machine without that getting in the getting the way.
On the side here we've got our our spindle lock to take our pads off so when we do take the pad
off it's got to be in rotary motion we push that spindle lock and then we can remove that pad easy
and place another another pad on. So it's got a 720 watt brush motor the variable speed is at the back
and the variable speed on rotary runs from 320 rpm to 60 rpm and then on random orbital
3300 to 6800 rpm so this thing gives us plenty of options for different materials.
So here we're just going to take a look at the overview of the accessories and the consumables
that are available for the ROTEX. So firstly with our pads there's four different pads available
for the for the tool. Firstly a standard medium pad also a hard pad for keeping surfaces flat or edges
really sharp, there's a super soft pad and this is more for curves so it's got a little bit more give
in it and also for finer abrasives and the green one is a polishing pad and this is
designed to work with the with a polishing system it's a slightly different diameter
than the rest of the pads therefore allowing a bit of give in the in the pads when we use them
and that's also combined in with the polish.
The the other one is there's two different types of interface pads one 5mm and one 15mm
again these are designed for curves or curved surfaces or contours where we need to sand into
there's also a protection pad and this is designed for when we are using the mesh abrasive so the
protection pad will go over the main pad and then the mesh abrasive on top of that and of course
there's a few other abrasive options for for different types of materials this type of thing.
The other one is an accessory is an extra handle so you can hold on to the machine out the front
rather on top with that as well as a handle that locks in either left or right hand side of the
of the ROTEX and a pad guard and this protects the pad and also the material
that you're working on when you're working up to edges.
so here we'll just take a look
at a couple of maintenance points just for the ROTEX so you get the most out of it.
Firstly you've got your intake air at the back here so the vents are coming in the cooling air
out through the front to keep the motor cool just make sure those vents always stay clear.
So with your pads ideally you're not putting too much pressure on the pad it's a heat
resistant velcro but just to be used with a general weight you're better off going to the
next abrasive down if you if you're required to do that, so the pads are there to give you a long life.
With the sanding pad break so this is a rubber on top of the pad this actually
puts pressure onto the pad and keeps it at a steady rotation so would need replacement
and the way you'll notice that is if you've had free spins in random orbital so it's ideally
setting it in random orbital so it gives you a really good surface finish.
So these are just a couple of maintenance tips to get the most out of the ROTEX
Thanks for watching
