Default random orbit sanders and 1/2 sheet orbital sanders

Exactly what happens with the Bosch.


Is that a blue Bosch? I think there was a post here or in the FAQ
saying that the velcro backing pads must be considered a consumable. I
understand this velcro fastening is also used on the random orbital
sanders; do these suffer the same problem?

By the way, what sandpaper do you use? I have been using the
Silverline triangles from Toolstation, simply because they were cheap.
However, I find that they have to be changed frequently so I do wonder
whether it would be more economical to use a more expensive brand that
lasted longer?

Thanks again,
Stephen.
