My Bosch delta sander PDA120E has died with a snapped drive shaft and no spares are available. I have made a bodge replacement part to complete the current job but I don't know how long this will last.
Bosch have also dropped this style of sander - which is great for getting into corners in favour of the mouse/palm type which I don't want due to lack of versatility.
I see that their multitool PMF180E can also be used as a sander but how effective is it?
My concern is that the delta sander has an orbital action where as the multitool has a small swing radial action - subtly different.
What does the team think please?
I am only interested in Bosch machines as I can get these cheap through the staff shop as a Siemens pensioner.
