Genuine OEM replacement part, this item is sold individually. The purpose of the 590936005 Brake Skirt is to keep the sanding pad of the Random Orbit Sander at a slower speed so that the sander can sand the stock properly. A good time to replace the Brake Skirt is when you replace the sanding pad. Or replace it when the pad is spinning out of control at high RPM.
Sorry, we couldn't find any existing reviews that matched. Try using some different or simpler keywords.

Replacing my old brake skirt with this fixed the high-speed spinning issue on my Rigid orbital sander.
The part came in a timely manner as promised. It was identical to the replaced part minus the wear, of course. It took me longer to replace than it should have due to the fact that I did not have a long star driver that was needed to seperate the two halves of the sander. I was patient and able to get the part in, though, without taking the sander apart. Replacing the old brake skirt fixed my problem..... which was that the sander was spinning fast when taken off the material.

Perfect fit. More flexible than the original
When the old one broke, i took it off and it had no locking tabs on the upper surface. I figured it spun with the sanding disc. Well, it doesn't This actually has locking tabs on it, and you have to remove 4 screws on the disc housing, and pry one of the halves off. Then you can slip the locking tabs into the slots on the side you didn't remove, align the big tabs at the front and back, then carefully replace the other half sliding the remaining tabs into the loose half as you press the halves together.
Not at all hard, just requires patients.
