How easy is it to change the sand paper on a spindle?

Very simple. Loosen the retaining nut on top of the spindle, slip off the old sleeve and slip on the replacement. Re-tighten retaining nut. The spindle is, effectively, a hard rubber dowel on a steel rod. Tightening the nut expands the rubber, thus securing the sleeve. Changing spindle sizes is different but just as easy. Hope this helps.

Not much harder than reloading the toilet paper roll. Loosen the bolt and slide on, tighten bolt again.

Not a problem. You will use a sanding sleeve or cylinder. The larger sanding cylinders use a compression sleeve to grip the sanding sleeves and the small sleeves are held in place by at tab with a simple screw. Wrenches are included to change the sleeves.

Very, very easy. You will have a fresh spot on the sleeve or a new sleeve, or even a different size spindle in just a minuet

Very easy. At the bottom of the spindle, under the top plate, there is a small screw/clamp that holds the sanding tube in place.

Sometimes a little tight, definitely not a problem though. Never had a sleeve I couldn't get on the spindle.

It's a breeze.....................but the paper sleeves have lasted me a long - LONG time. The smaller diameter are a little tougher but not overly difficult.

Pretty easy. There are 4 screws holding the pad onto the plate. Remove the screws to get the pad off, align the new pad like the old one and screw them back in.

In my opinion, blade changes are pretty easy - no better or worse than any other bandsaw I've ever used. The guide adjustments are pretty straightforward, with thumbscrews for most adjustments. A ball-end allen wrench is useful for adjusting the roller bearings that set the blade thickness.

If it were me I'd just replace the baseboard their not that costly. this is a light duty sander and that's a lot of work

Yes with a cutting wheel and finish it off with a file and sand paper. Good luck

Yes it's easy. Though one rocker had a bit of varnish buildup on the runner that we had to sand off, everything else was a sinch.

Yes! with a minor alteration! there is a case over the unit you will need to remove depending on the year of the machine. No need to worry it is very easy and it took me all of 2 minuets maybe?.

It was really easy to work the plastic using my dremel's rotozip/drywall bit. I think the "fold the cord in half, zip-tie, and unspool both ends" hack will work better, though.

It takes 5 inch 8 hole sanding disks. The pad they attach to is kind of a soft pad with velcro. When I first received the sander it had a faulty pad and would only sand on the very outer edge leaving circles in the wood. I contacted Bosch and they sent me a new one. It works great now.

WEF: It takes a couple of hours, but it isn't difficult. As I said in an earlier Amazon post, you should search YouTube for posted videos that clearly show the entire extraction and cutter replacement process. You can then decide if this is within your capabilities. You'll need some tools and a couple of wood blocks, but those are shown in the videos. Try "MarkerBuoy DeWalt Planer" and you should go to a few good ones. There is also at least one more YT video 'author' of the replacement process that I found very useful. I am VERY pleased w/both the Amazon price of the cutter and the modification's performance - and - substantial noise reduction. Byrd Shelix is a quality company.

very easy. I handed it to my son and said do it. He did. We have had no problems with it and much cheaper than replacing the enitre blade part.

From my perspective, a random orbital sander (ROS) of the type you actually bought is superior in every way to the partial sheet sanders - except for the cost of sandpaper. It is much, much faster at removing material from a very rough surface but does just as good a job fine sanding as the partial sheet sanders. I was not overly impressed with this particular model compared to my Dewalt ROS because of excessive vibration, but I would choose it hands down over what you intended to buy. My sample may have been slightly defective.

If you don't have the original paperwork, go on line to look it up. For the average it yourself person, that is a non issue. If you are using this unit for a commercial project, buy a heavy duty sander.

My 6" sander came with a thin wrench (approx.1/8" thick x 9/16") and i used that to remove pad. From manual:position wrench to engage flats on spindle it may be necessary to rotate pad by hand, while holding spindle with wrench rotate pad counterclockwise to remove. then reverse procedure to install new one.

It depends on what you call "easy". You have to loosen two screws and move the extension part, then retighten. It can be done in less than a minute. This miter gauge is absolutely dead on for accuracy. I highly recommend it.

Yes it is very easy to change. The detach points are located where the black arms go out to the motors.

Yes, it is very easy to do. All you need is a small Philipshead screwdriver and about 12 minutes of time.
