The six inch Rubin 2 abrasive discs now feature the next generation Multi-Jetstream design that incorporates a modified (17) hole pattern that increases airflow, and results in even better dust extraction efficiency. In addition, the new pads incorporate an enhanced, heat-resistant StickFix design, extending both pad and abrasive life considerably.
The new Multi-Jetstream design is 100% compatible with the previous pad design, and vice-versa. The new abrasives work seamlessly with the old pads, and the old abrasives are adaptable to the new pads.
StickFix is the Festool brand name for hook and loop (H&L) sandpaper.

Rubin 2 abrasive was developed for bare natural wood, wood composites and veneers. Rubin has a special coating which sheds wood fibers. Use on hardwoods like oak or maple, soft woods like pine or fir, tropical woods like ebony or teak, as well as on wood-based products.
Tip
Use coarser grits for faster results; avoid skipping grits for best surface quality. The wood-specific coating for the Rubin abrasives means that they are long lasting.
Technical Information
- Use grits P24 to P60 for rapid removal and rough surface quality. High material removal means low surface quality. This preps surfaces for higher grits.
- Use grits P80 to P120 to accomplish intermediate sanding. You will still have a fast removal rate while achieving good surface quality.
- Use grits P150 to P180 for finish sanding. Remember that soft wood does not require as fine a sanded finish as hardwood. If you want to sand wood higher than P180, use Brilliant 2 from P220 +
