Convert rtsc to dtsc?

[alphabeta77]

Hi all,

Just bought a Rotex 90 and the cordless RTSC, now I notice the Rotex comes with a delta attachment and a circular attachment.

I also note the RTSC appears identical to the DTSC except for a different pad...

Can I ask if it's possible to buy the delta and rotary attachments separate and swap to use on my rtsc?

Ta, useful - how different are they - just wondering if I could 3d print an adapter to enable this...

Nothing you can 3d print will survive the forces of sanding. You don't want any plastic in there.

I have the DS400, the older type where it was still possible to swap plates, and I used to do that but i got tired with it. It takes to much time to swap them out, and second, you wear out the thread for the screws in the base of the sander, which is of surprisingly weak metal. I had to tap some of the holes up from M5 to M6 already.
