I have had this sander for about a year and it worked great until recently. Seems that something in the bearing shaft let go and the disc just wants to spin on startup instead of oscillate. I can put the sander down on the wood and then start it and it works OK. However, setting a spinning disc down on wood with 100 grit can make some bad swirls.
Has anybody else had this problem and is there any fix other than to donate it to Goodwill and buy another sander? If so, it won't be a Rigid next time!
