ETS 150/5 Rubber pad separating

[donott]

Hey folks,

I've owned my ETS 150/5 for about 9 months now. After about 6 months, I noticed a nasty wobble when I was sanding a large table top. I turned the sander off and when I lifted the sander up, I saw that the rubber pad had started separating from the plastic (?) disc backing. About 1/3 - 1/2 had come away. Glued it back together and it lasted for a while but it's happened again.

Is this a typical thing to see with this sander? Sanding pad?

Emailed Festool to see what the say but thought I'd pop in here too.

Thanks...Don

Are you using dust extraction?

If not, they get hot.

Thanks Seth.

Tom - yes, I purchased the dust extractor/sander combo from Lee Valley.
