Festool 488715 DX 93 Replacement StickFix Sanding Pad, Soft,

The Festool 488715 DX 93 Replacement StickFix Sanding Pad is a soft replacement sanding pad for detail sanding with compatible Festool sanders. This is a sanding pad designed for sanding corners, edges, and other tight spaces where a standard round pad is the wrong tool for the job. Model Number 488715. If your existing pad is worn, glazed, or no longer holding abrasive the way it should, swapping it out is the easiest way to get your finish quality back.

This pad is made specifically for the Festool DX 93 and RO 90 DX. The triangular 3-11/16" x 3-11/16" (93 x 93 mm) format is what makes it useful. Equal-angle corners let you use all three abrasive tips instead of burning through one corner and tossing the sheet early. Convex edges also help when you are sanding right up against trim, rails, narrow parts, or inside transitions where precision matters more than raw removal rate.

The soft pad version is the right call when you want more forgiving contact across the surface. It helps keep sanding pressure more even, which matters on detail work, painted surfaces, finish prep, and shaped parts where a harder interface can leave uneven scratch patterns. Festool also uses heat-resistant MPE foam in the pad construction, which supports more consistent wear and longer service life under repeated use.

Festool's StickFix hook and loop surface keeps abrasive changes simple and efficient. That matters in real use because detail sanding often means switching grits often as you move from stock removal to finish prep. The hook and loop face also lets you reuse partially used abrasives instead of throwing them out after one pass on a small part.

Dust collection is not an afterthought here. The pad uses six dust extraction holes designed to channel sanding dust through the tool's extraction path. When the holes line up correctly with the sander and abrasive, you get cleaner work, less dust loading on the abrasive, and better visibility on detail work. On finish sanding, that cleaner surface can make it easier to see whether you are actually done or just sanding dust around.

This replacement accessory is best for woodworkers, finish carpenters, cabinet installers, remodelers, and anybody using a DX 93 or RO 90 DX for detail sanding. It is not a universal pad, and that is a good thing. It is purpose-built for specific Festool sanders, with the right shape, attachment method, and extraction layout to keep those tools working the way they are supposed to.
