Overview
The Festool ST D150/MJ2-FX-SW Sander Backing Pad is a 6 inch sander backing pad made for the Festool RO 150 FEQ. This is a sander backing pad designed for contour sanding, edge sanding, and finish work on curved or rounded surfaces. Model Number 202462. If you use your Rotex on profiles, beading, or parts with changing shapes, this super-soft pad gives the sanding disc more ability to follow the surface instead of digging in.
What makes this pad matter is the combination of a super-soft body and Festool's MULTI-JETSTREAM 2 dust extraction pattern. In practical terms, that means you get strong dust pickup across the face of the pad and out toward the edge, which helps maintain abrasive performance and surface quality. Festool specifically calls out virtually 100% dust extraction, and that matters because loaded paper cuts slower, runs hotter, and leaves a rougher result.
The ultra-soft version uses an elastic structure aimed at curves, beading, heavy roundings, and cambers. That is the real reason to buy this accessory instead of a general-purpose pad. On shaped wood parts and rounded transitions, a softer interface helps the sanding disc stay in contact without flattening details you are trying to preserve. For cabinet parts, trim profiles, and shaped solid-surface or wood components, that can save rework.
Festool also uses the FastFix interface here, so changing the backing pad is straightforward. For anyone running one RO 150 FEQ across multiple sanding steps, that is a time saver. You can keep a firmer setup for flatter stock removal and switch to this super-soft option when the work turns into edges, radiused parts, or anything that needs a gentler touch.
The 6" (150 mm) diameter gives you the common 6 inch format used on the RO 150 FEQ, and the pad is built around the hole pattern and airflow design needed for dust extraction. That makes this a functional upgrade for finish quality as much as it is a replacement part. It is not just holding the abrasive disc. It is part of how the sander cuts, clears dust, and follows the shape of the work.
This Festool ST D150/MJ2-FX-SW Sander Backing Pad makes the most sense for woodworkers, finish carpenters, cabinet installers, and remodelers who sand detailed parts instead of only broad flat panels. If your work involves curves and edge profiles, this is the right pad to keep on hand. If most of your sanding is on flat stock, you will still appreciate having it as a second setup for the jobs where a standard pad is simply too firm.
Better Dust Control on Detailed Work
On curved stock, dust buildup can kill finish quality fast. The MULTI-JETSTREAM 2 design is built to keep abrasive discs clearing while you work, which helps the sander cut evenly instead of smearing packed dust across the surface.
- Designed for maximum dust extraction right up to the edge
- Supports high material removal with more consistent surface results
Conforms to Curves Without Fighting You
This is the pad you want when the workpiece has shape to it. The super-soft build gives the abrasive more flexibility, which helps maintain contact on rounded profiles and delicate contours instead of cutting high spots only.
- Ultra-soft version with an elastic structure
- Made for sanding curves, beading, heavy roundings, and cambers
Quick Pad Changes, Less Downtime
When you switch from flat stock to shaped parts, the right pad makes a difference. FastFix mounting makes it practical to swap setups instead of trying to force one pad to handle every sanding task.
- FastFix connection for quick changeover
- Fits the Festool RO 150 FEQ platform

Pro Tip
Keep this super-soft pad for profiles, radiused parts, and edge work, and swap back to a firmer pad for flatter surfaces. Also check the pad foam for wear before use, since Festool notes the foam can become brittle with age.

Tool Nut's Take
Festool ST D150/MJ2-FX-SW Sander Backing Pad for finish work that has shape to it
If you run a Rotex 150 and spend real time sanding curves, this is the pad that makes the tool behave the way you want.
- Who it's for: Woodworkers, trim guys, cabinet shops, and remodelers sanding profiles, rounded edges, and contoured parts on a Festool RO 150 FEQ.
- Why it stands out: The super-soft body helps the abrasive follow the work, and the MULTI-JETSTREAM 2 pattern does the dust-control work that keeps finish quality up.
- Worth knowing: This is a specialty pad, not the one-size-fits-all answer for every sanding job. Keep it for curved work and swap pads when the surface turns flat.
