rotex 90 wobbles even when flat

[bentrail]

hello i have a rotex 90 and it wobbles a lot even when its flat. this is my 2nd rotex the first one i got was the rotex 150 and its doesnt wobble or pull like the rotex 90. does anyone have this same issue with the rotex 90? am i doing anything wrong? or could it be a lemon? :-\

Just off the bat: it could be too much suction, not holding it correctly (i.e. one hand by the Plug-it) or - if it is a bit older - a pad that's about to disintegrate. At worst fall damage could cause that, too.

I am not using it with dust extraction at the moment. my dust extractor will be here December can that be a part of the issue?

RO 90 can be kinda wonky to hold. Check some vids (like Sedge) on how to hold it with two hands when using.

There is indeed a bit of a technique involved, mostly because the smaller diameter exaggerates the issue.
The larger diameter models can help cover it up, but they can do it too.
Holding it so that the pad is completely flat is just asking for trouble. I'm not saying to tilt it to where you can actually see it, but you need to apply a bit more pressure to the upper right.
Think of it like you are looking at a clock. The area around the 1 o'clock to 2 o'clock is where you need to focus. Not tilt, that is bad too, just lean slightly toward that area.
There is some "feel" to it, and once you get it, you will be fine.

Hello thank you all for your input. I tried tilting it the way you said and that helped also the more I use it the more I can control it and I had trouble because I automatically assumed that since I know how to use the 150 that the 90 would be a piece of cake but anyway thank you everyone
