Considering that every piece I make is recycled… & I use the Festo all the time…. Its worked well for 5 years WHY…now…give me trouble?????
Anyone got any ideas?????

You mean the velcro "hook & loop" backing? Over time, use (& abuse ) the hooks on the sander pad break down. 5 years? That's a good run.

If it's just the rubin discs, fair enough, they have a problem. But if all brands of discs keep falling off, it's time to replace the material on the sander.

Yes the hook & loop system...
Have always used velcro...system.. different types of disc's though.... however I usually replace the loop system at least twice before buying a new replacement festo-pad...@ $65 each time ... I feel its justified to use two replacement stick-on ones first (which I buy from Carba-tec)

Yes, I'm no novice with sanding & buy cartons of sanding disc... 50 or 100's at a time.... however last lot of papers flew off the loop... with in minutes of starting.... was brand new loop & new disc... very perplexing... seems to be just the Rubins.... not good... don't worry its coming up to carba-tec with me.... next trip...
Thanks for the comments though....
cheers Kerry...KEKEMO

Fair enough. Timne to toss the Rubins.

Just as a matter of interest, have you tried The Sandpaper Man's stuff? 'Tis good stuff & I reckon value for money, even with shipping. (And he's a forumite.)

Nice work Kekemo!!!

I love how you rounded the edges..... I've seen table/chair sets with really sharp edges and corners that can really cause injury..... your's look great and most importantly... safe for kids... much nicer to touch too.
