I purchased a Bosch 1278VS sander and am having problems with the Bosch Sanding belts. The belts overheat, the glue on the belt weakens and they break. This happens after just a few min of use and renders the belt useless even though they are nowhere near being used up. The cost quickly adds up.
It seems that just the friction of the belt on the sander is enough to heat it up to the breaking point. I'm not sure if this is a defect in the sander or the belts but the tool is almost useless to me like this.
Are there any belts out there that will work on this piece of... equipment?
