For the sander we use the ets 150/3 rather than the 5 because the stroke on the 3 is finer at 3 mm. The Rotex is great for more aggressive Sanding. I use Sia papers from 40 grit on up to the highest. The fleeces are sort of like Vortex pads in that they conform to the surface and give a nice satin finish. There is a maroon one and grey one. Can't remember which is which. Talk to Stu about the trizact pads. 
I buy my festool stuff from In-touch tools. Talk to Aldo.

I use festool sanders. I use the Rotex for aggressive Sanding and the orbital 150 for finishing (say taking the surface from 100 to 800).    We usually just use diamonds to remove a surface because the sander is slow. But the orbital will give you a really nice honed or satin finish. Also the only way to go with corian. I connect to their hepa filtered vacuum and run dry. I have been using Sia papers and fleeces. I haven't used trizact papers, but Stu says they are great. By the way, the festool sanders also work well on brass.

I think someone posted about a sanding machine for marble?
Maybe it was Stu?
