The Multi-Jetstream 2 technology with its 49-hole pattern delivers near 100% dust extraction efficiency — and that’s the whole story right there. If you’re running a Festool sander without their extraction system, you’re throwing money away. This disc transforms a dusty nightmare into a clean operation that’ll keep you working instead of stopping to unclog paper.
The Technology That Actually Matters
The hardened aluminum oxide and ceramic grain mix provides high material removal and long service life, while the special coating prevents buildup of dust and heat. That ceramic content isn’t marketing fluff. It cuts faster and stays sharp longer than straight aluminum oxide. You’ll change discs less often, which matters when you’re 30 miles from the nearest supplier.
The StickFix hook and loop system aligns the Multi-Jetstream 2 hole pattern with the backing pad. No fiddling with alignment. The 49 holes line up automatically with your Festool sander’s extraction ports.

Real-World Performance
The disc is optimized for VOC clear coats and specially designed for modern VOC clear coats and hard sublayers. That matters because VOC finishes clog standard paper fast. The coating on these discs sheds that buildup, keeping the cutting surface active.
Applications include modern paint systems and VOC clear coats, hard sublayers like plastics and mineral materials, acrylics and repair compounds, fillers and primers, and general woodworking. One disc handles everything from stripping old lacquer to prepping fresh pine. No switching between specialized papers for different materials.
The 60 grit sits in the sweet spot for heavy material removal without gouging. Strip a deck, level a subfloor patch, or knock down rough lumber — this grit handles the grunt work.
Compared to Other Festool Options
Rubin 2 is specifically for wood and wood-based materials, offering faster removal on bare wood but lacking the specialized coating Granat has for VOC coats and plastics. Rubin 2 grits are limited (40-220), whereas Granat goes up to 1500. If you’re only sanding raw lumber, Rubin 2 cuts marginally faster. But most contractors work on finished surfaces, repairs, and mixed materials where Granat’s versatility pays off.
Granat Net offers full-surface dust extraction, ideal for high-dust materials like drywall, whereas Granat MJ2 discs use the 49-hole pattern for a balance of durability and extraction. Net abrasives extract better on drywall mud but wear faster on hard surfaces. These Multi-Jetstream 2 discs last longer when you’re grinding through old finish or leveling filler.
Who Should Buy This
Worth it for contractors running Festool sanders with dust extraction. The combination of ceramic grain longevity and 49-hole extraction pattern means fewer disc changes and cleaner air. At 60 grit, you’re buying this for heavy removal work where the ceramic content earns its keep.
Skip it if you’re hand-sanding or using a non-Festool random orbit without proper extraction. The hole pattern won’t match, and you’ll waste the dust collection advantage. Standard aluminum oxide discs cost less and work fine for occasional use.
Compatibility
Compatible sanders include Rotex RO 150, ETS 150, ETS EC 150, LEX 3 150, and WTS 150. All 6-inch Festool sanders with Multi-Jetstream backing pads. The hole pattern is Festool-specific — don’t expect perfect alignment on other brands.
What Contractors Say
Reviews average approximately 4.9 stars, with contractors praising excellent material removal rate, superior dust extraction when used with Festool dust extractors, and longer lasting performance than cheaper 6-inch discs. That’s about as close to unanimous as tool reviews get.
FAQs
Q: Will these discs work on my non-Festool sander? A: The Multi-Jetstream 2 pattern uses 49 holes in a Festool-specific layout. They’ll stick to any 6-inch hook-and-loop pad, but the dust extraction holes won’t align properly with other brands. You’ll lose the main benefit.
Q: How much longer do these last than regular aluminum oxide discs? A: The hardened aluminum oxide/ceramic mix provides high material removal and long service life. Contractors report these lasting 5-10x longer than standard aluminum oxide, though your mileage varies with material and pressure.
Q: Do I really need dust extraction for these to work well? A: Yes. The 49-hole pattern is designed for near 100% dust extraction efficiency. Without extraction, you’re paying premium prices for a feature you’re not using. The ceramic grain still cuts well, but dust will clog the surface faster.
Q: What’s the difference between P60 and 60 grit? A: These discs are P60 grit following the FEPA P-grade standard. European P-grades run slightly finer than American CAMI grades. P60 is roughly equivalent to 80-grit CAMI.
Q: Are these worth the premium price over hardware store discs? A: The special coating prevents clogging, and reviews confirm they last longer than cheaper alternatives. If you’re sanding daily, the extended life and cleaner operation justify the cost. Weekend warriors might not see the payback.
