gLAD IT SLIPPED OUT WITHOUT FURTHER TROUBLE dON. nICE WORK ON THE HOMEMADE PULLER, JUST GOES TO SHOW YOU THAT SIMPLE IS SOMETIMES BETTER. Darn caps lock!
I was sanding down a dresser today, when my Makita random orbital sander kept tossing the sand paper off. The velcro/hook and loop just doesn't hold the paper any more. So I got out my old 1/4 sheet porter cable sander and the pad flew off! I searched locally for new bases for both and finally went to OSH and bought a cheap random orbital, which had a better velcro. By time I got home I only had about 30 minutes of daylight to work. Some days just don't seem to go the way we want. On the positive side I did order replacement parts for the other sanders. Both have been great work horses over the years, just need a little TLC!
