Hi
I have a Bosch PEX 115A Orbital Sander and this has worked fine for years (occasional use only!)
Just lately when I use then after a few seconds the bolt holding the backing plate in place works loose and the plate un-attaches itself! Not a pleasant experience.
I re-attach and make sure the bolt is nice and tight, but, same thing happens as soon I apply any pressure to the pad. It may be a total coincidence, but, have just started using a new batch of pads (fairly cheap off eBay!)
I can fire up the sander without making contact with wood and this seems to spin fine with no signs of getting loose - it seems like it is the pressure from applying to wood that is causing the problem.
Anybody any ideas what could be causing this or what part, if any, needs replacing?
