The pad with the hook and loop on my Bosch ROS is starting to come off. Anyone know if this can be replaced and if so where I can get it? How is it attached to the ROS? adhesive?

Ryobi's can be replaced
I had a Ryobi ROS with the same problem and the hook and loop pad was easily replaced. It was just held onto the sander with adhesive. Peeled the old one off and put the new one on. I imagine the Bosch works the same way. In fact, if the Bosch is an 8 hole format, the Ryobi replacement hook and loop pad (got mine at HD) would probably fit just fine.Jim

All pad will wear out eventually with heavy use.. The Bosch is replaceble and you can probably find it at Amazon or any good tool source. The Bosch Outlet for sure carries it. Just Google Bosch tools and you will see the web-site and Ad for them..Comment

There seems to be a hard, soft, and very soft models. What are the advantages of the different types?

hard is for sanding surfaces that you want to keep flat and sharp and rapid material removal. soft is for countours and isn't as aggressive.
punch your zip into this page and it will tell you your local service center. you can buy parts from them.

Thanks Tom and John. That's a great price on the Ryobi but I don't think it will work for my ROS. As far as I can tell there's only 1 hex screw in the middle holding the pad to the ROS as opposed to the multiple ones the Ryobi uses.I reject your reality and substitute my own.Comment

The Ryobi pad from ToolsNow includes a PSA 8-hole hook & loop pad that will fit your Bosch
