PEX 270 AE - Random Orbit Sander - Bosch Power Tools For Do-It-Yourselfers

I am after the velcro-type fastening pads. All the cutting and polishing pads out there have a thread attachment for a polisher.

Any help would be much appreciated (including if I have bought the wrong tool).

Cheers,
Shane.
I have a PEX-270AE, it works fantastic, Waxit - Premium Car Care Australia sells 6" Edge pads with velcro back for the PEX. That's where I get all of mine from

EDIT: here are the ones I use:

So? It spins and is a great unit to start learning how to polish, you do less damage with an orbital than a rotary as it doesn't heat the paint up as much.
