Quite possibly you've used your sander much more than I have then. My pad is still ok but it's only been about 3 years of weekend use, and not every weekend at that.

I purchased 3 extra sanding pads just in case they become unavailable.
A new improved sander model is replacing the ROS65VC-5 and the sanding pads for the new model are a different.
Sure there are off brands sanding pads but I prefer the name brand.

I have a generic look alike sander and the long handle is nice and requires a little practice using the 2 hand design. Its about balancing the tool when using it. I have found myself using the Milwaukee orbital sander with a palm grip more.

Hey mate, is your generic look alike sander the Bayer model from Sydney tools? Sydney Tools
