Driver for Oreck orbiter

July 9 2007 at 2:26 PM		Darren Darner 
Anybody have any ideas to help hold the 12" fiber plus pads on the bottom of an orbiter? Tried velcro, but doesn't really work that great. Thanks

Oreck sells a pad driver plate that goes on the bottom to drive pads.

Oreck sells replacement pad drivers for the little 12" Oreck Orbiter.

I have the 13" orbiter and pad driver holds the 12" fiber plus pad without problem

I don't think I made myself clear. I do have the pad driver that fits the Oreck. I will probably just order another one, but I just thought someone might have a bright idea to fix/modify the one I have because the pads don't stick very well anymore

Thanks for the replies

I took my orbiter and pad driver down to my basement and turned it on and let it run on the concrete floor. I checked it about every minute until it was pretty close to smooth. Then I gorilla glued on a big round piece of industrial strength velcro, set a gallon jug on it overnight and voila. Works better than before, and doesn't rip the heck out of pads and fiber pads.
