    Default Detail sander needeed

    I have used a Bosch delta detail sander for years and when it finally died I had to buy a Bosch Multi-Tool. The multi-tool part is excellent but the sanding plate melted in places after a while and the velcro sanding pads would no longer stick. I tried to get a replacement sanding plate through my local tool shop but they didn't succeed in getting one and, subsequently and sadly, went out of business.
    Does anyone know of a good delta detail sander with good velcro sanding pads that go from 80 grit to 400 grit -- and where you can reliably get a resupply of the sanding pads?
    The Bosch was great for getting into tight corners and because the pads went up to 400 grit.

    I use my Fein multi tool for detail sanding and, so far, the sanding plate has survived everything I have thrown at it. So, as a suggestion, check out out Fitzall blades who I think make a sanding plate and supply the sanding triangles to suit ALL multitools?
    I posted before about replacement blades ....

    ... but I wasn't looking at sanding pads and triangles at the time.
    Could you please post about how you go as there have been many complaints on the forum about excellent quality but HIGH PRICE consumsbles from Fein and low price but POOR QUALITY from many of the others?

    G'Day Alan,
    I sent a contact request about the Delta Danding pads backing discs to Fitzall Blades as i have had similar issues to Alison.
    How did the Fitzall Blades last since last years purchase??
