How do the disks apply to the sander? With adhesive?

The disks have a velcro backing. The sander has a permanent velcro hook type surface. The discs can be removed and replaced until you are satisfied with the placement.

The disks adhere on their own with a Velcro type back. Just line them up with the holes on the sander, and they grip very well.

NO adhesive. it is a valcro or hook anloop type of backing on disc,s.. they hook to the grinder and you can peel them off an reuse if still good.I hope this helps you out. I love this type as it is so easy to change disc,s.

They stick by what seems to be a Velcro type adhesive. You just line them up with the holes on the sander and they grip very well. That's it.

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.

The dust collection is great for the belt sander and pretty good for the disc. I run a DC1100 dust collector with only one machine connected at a time. It works really well for pulling nearly all the dust away.

You can either buy the Porter Cable sanding disks for this which I personally have never used, or, what I do use are after market 9" hook and loop pads as are 9" hook and loop sanding discs in many grits which are significantly lower in cost than the Porter Cable original equipment sanding discs with integral pad.

you need to buy sanding disks. The type you need are "roloc sanding disks" Amazon has them just do a search

No, not Velcro. You need the self adhesive type of sanding disc for this sander.

This has the same action as a random orbit sander. It just uses a square pad instead of a round pad which allows you to work the inside edges and corners easier

Good question. The disk will fit your pad but you will find you will run off the outer 1/2" of your hook and loop on your pad. It will leave blemished on the sanded surface where the hook and loop touch. Best solution is to use your left over disks for hand work. They are much better than sand paper. I replaced my 1998 Bosch 6" sander just recently after 18 years of hard service. I run mine in my cabinet shop for days and weeks on end.

The sander needs compressed air to run the sander and a vacuum to collect the dust. Vacuum ready just means there is a connection point for the vacuum hose and holes in the sanding pad to pick up dust. The sanding discs must have corresponding holes for the system to work.

Hello, I dont have this particular brand, but Im thinking in buying one, I bought the adhesive sandpaper and had that problem of being diffucult to get it out, but I had this idea to put some BABY POWDER before putting it to the sander , it works great.

Sanding disks come in different grits, even 60 and 40 and they take of a lot of material quickly. I have used 150 grit...not sure if you can buy 240???...wear some gloves or attach the guard (if possible because these grinding/sanding wheels are aggressive and will take a slice from your hand if you do not respect it. Also try to use a rubber washer, it flexes while supporting the cardboard sanding/grinding disc. PS there is not such thing as a stupid question!!!!

Hook and loop is like Velcro, which the sandpaper disc fastens itself to on the sanding pad. I would imagine that you have that kind of pad on your sander. Hope this helps.

Put a few drops of air tool oil into the actual metal coupler that attaches your air sander to the air hose, its the thing at the bottom of the handle of the air sander. This is also the same spot where the coupler (the thing that attaches the air sander to your air hose) threads onto the air sander (underneath the handle)

I glued industrial strength velcro to the rubber backing pad that comes with the buffer. Then hook and loop sanding discs will stick to it.

Yes, the sanding pad/paper attaches to the sanding disk like "Velcro". It is a hook and eye setup, and works well. I have had Makita and Porter Cable palm sanders (1/4 sheets)for years, but I like this better because of the variable speed control. Good luck with you choice

These disks are adhesive on one side only. I don't know of any that are adhesive on two sides.

I get my discs from here: http://www.worlddiamondsource.com/wds1.aspx?Id=Polishing_Pads_for_Hand-Held_GrindersI'd call and speak with a customer service rep, who can direct you to a particular abrasive depending on what materials you are working with. I've been dealing with WDS for years and they have been very knowledgeable and helpful, as well as competitive. Best of luck!
