: I have TWO Milwaukee ROS's that have started spinning without
: random orbiting. I w told there is an offset washer you can
: replace to fix it. I haven yet had time to take one apar. Anyone
: ever fixed one ?

For me, usually when they get to the point of not functioning properly they are so worn that I replace them. The sanders get a heck of alot of use around here. I do have a mostly dead Ryobi and a nearly dead Porter Cable ROS around somewhere, gonna do the hand sander trick with one of them. I've gone back to only using Bosch sanders, they don't break.
