Handheld sander velcro problem
I've got one of those electric sanders that you put three-inch
triangular pads onto. Except the velcro on the sander no longer grips them. What's the solution? -- Roland Perry |

What's the solution? buy a new pad and next time dont run a full speed and don't press so hard. the heat generated melts the hooks in the velcro. The early sanders were quite low power but the newer ones are 2 to 3 times more powerful and that creates more heat. |

Obviously I've replaced the sandpaper pads many times, but I have never seen replacements for the velcro pads attached to the body of the sander available for sale. Suppose I just have to look harder? -- Roland Perry |
