I have a random orbet Portal Cable sander that uses velcro sanding
disks. The material that was glued to the pad that held the velcro disks
has came off the sander. What can I do to repair it? Sticky disks wont
stick to the rubber pad. Can a new pad be bought? glue a new piece of
material to the pad? Where can I get one. Or should I buy a new sander?
The sawdust collector also broke off some time ago.
Thanks
I made the mistake of pushing down on the PC333 when sanding and
heated up the hook/loop on the pad and had to buy a replacement. THEN
I read here about just let the weight of the sander do the work and
haven't bought another replacement pad for years.

Thanks I should have known that parts would be available.
I found the pad for $14.85 and filter for $5.40 and o ring for $0.70at
ereplacementparts.com with $4.05 shipping.
I also noticed from the online manual that mine is a type 1 and does
not have the pad governor to slow the pad down if lifted off the wood.
How much difference does it make to those of you that have one?
Thanks

Well I was all set to order a new pad and dust cylinder when I read your
post. My pad was in really good shape except for the Velcro pad came
off, so I used some epoxy and glued it back on, nothing to loose anyway,
I tied a dust devil vacuum bag (very small) over the output and am back
in business for now. I'm just finishing up rebuilding a 50' x 14' deck.
Thanks

Go to http://www.dewaltservicenet.com/ServiceNet/logon.asp. You'll probably
have to create an account. If you have the manual, just click the Order
button, then put the pad part number into the "Search by Part Number" field.
It should bring up the part and its cost. If you don't have the part
number, go to Technical Documents and find an exploded art manual to find
the part number. I did a quick look for a Porter Cable sander and got a
cost of about $15. Give it a shot.

I have a 17 year old PC Right angle ROS that has the pad that spins free. I
am on about my 3rd PSA pad.
If your is the free spinner like mine and you let it get up to a full speed
spin when lifting it off the work, you should turn the sander off and stop
the pad before reapplying to your work. If you have the non speed type they
tend to not spin at all. The Bosch model can be lifted and reapplied with
out a problem. FWIW the free spinners IMHO are faster and more aggressive
than those with the "pad governor". A non governed model is a trade off
that I prefer as I never use my ROS for finish sanding and I finish sand
with my Speed Bloc. I want to get the rough sanding over with as quickly as
possible.
