Dewalt Orbital Wobble

[Robert166]

My Dewalt sander has developed a "wobble" its kind of hard to explain. Is there a easy fix or just a Dewalt "thing"? It sands okay just seems more pronounced that normal.

When it's turned off can you wiggle the base back and forth? Might be a loose mounting screw or a bearing gone bad.

I have used thet sander for years at work. Never had that issue. I have worn out the pads, had the rubber band break and that's about it. The thing that makes it random might be loose

Same problem on one I had. Just typical DeWalt quality, or lack of. I have a Bosch, 3M, and have had a couple of Horrible Freight. No wobble.
