Or the Bosch one in this case.

Doesnt this look familiar to the bosch multitool? I'm just wondering whether
if we were to take the shoe off this model below would it reaveal the same
as the Multitool? and if it did Id go bananas as I gave it away because it
was crap as a sander.

Or not, since you're not talking about the Fein or the Bosch, but about
a Bosch sander.

Looks much the same granted.  I always thought the Fein was just a detail 
sander with a blade.

The Bosch PMF 180 is also a bloody good detail sander, much, much better 
than any other I have used.

Suits me down to the ground, one less tool on the cramped van.

I'm talking about taking the shoe off and having a look if the attachment
spindle is the same as the Bosch PMF 180's attachment spindle? if it is then
the attachments for the 180 will fit this sander?

It looks similar but then so does an electric iron ;-)

Dunno about the fixings but even if you could attach Bosch/Fein tools to a
sander I reckon it'd be crap. The multitool rotates a small angle each way
on an axis normal to the attachment shoe (it gets its action by doing so
bloody fast) whereas sanders make their pads describe little circles. Do
that with a blade and you'd be all over the place I reckon.

Maybe I'm just not a brainless clod?

Aww bless, you think that alcoholism has something to do with having
friends.

Oh! yes having a couple of pints with people you know does have some bearing
as being friends.
However alcoholics usually drink alone.

Bye!

Bye!

I have a feeling I have one of those sanders floating about somewhere. 
You are right it does look a little like the multitool.  However if the 
multitool is even faintly similar to the multimaster then they are very 
different beasts....

The sander does not have the constructional rigidity of the multimaster 
- the pad is designed to float slightly. More to the point it has a 
slower orbital action, rather than an oscillatory one that pivots round 
a centre.

Perhaps surprisingly, I find the multimaster actually makes a much 
better delta sander than any delta sander I have tried as well.

Anyone with the Bosch PMF180 does it resemble anything like the shoe parts
on the PDA 180? also take a look at the Disc to the right of the breakdown
parts list numbered 835.
Click on the area to enlarge the drawing.

Funny they should name the multitool PMF 180 and the Delta Sander PDA180.
;-)

Damn! forgot the link

OK - you got me :-)  I just went and looked and, as far as I can see 
without extensive dismantling, is the PDA180 has an eccentric fitting at 
the end to produce an orbital motion (see the bottom end of the shaft 
835 on your link and the counter-balance weight C). The PMF180 doesn't 
have this, with the blade attachment screw being on the axis to produce 
a 2.5deg arc rotary motion only.  It's also something like twice as 
fast, so probably has different gearing. The case is also different.

The 180 refers to the motor power, I think
