SOURCE: need help disassembling Porter Cable random orbit sander
Go to Dewaltservicenet.com and in the center of the page under needing parts type in your tool model number it will take you to another page and scroll down to the type 1 or 2 and click on it. It will bring up an exploded view of this tool. Why do you think that you need brushes? usually I have to replace the bearings and the brushes are pretty durable. Let me know if I can help further
SOURCE: 3725Bosch 5" random orbit sander, loss of power!!
The 3725 had an overlap winding problem in the armature allowing no full power under load, I replaced mine three times before getting a good one, best 5" on the market tho.

The armature windings have an overlay problem in the wiring causing this and there is no soluation except to replace the armature which is not cost efective unless you are still under Warrantee and get a free replacement, it will burn up at some point. If you bought it within the last month take it back and get a new one, over one month, pack it back up in the original box and send it to address in the owners manual for repair or replacement service addresses.

The
best way to sand drywall is to use a pole sander (manually). You can
pick them up for about $20.
This particular machine tends to
leave grooves in the drywall compound if you are not familiar with how
to use it.
If you should have any questions about
"Drywall Finishing/Patching", or know someone who does, put your
questions to Category:"Tools- Building & Power- HAND TOOLS" at
FixYa.com
Thanks,

I heard about such a problem and myself came across this several years ago. Power loss can occur due to an outdated electric motor or because of too high wear. In general, it’s quite difficult to find good and high-quality construction tools and even orbital sanders from brands such as Bosch and others can be very poor-quality and problematic. So when choosing tools, you need to carefully read the reviews. I personally chose the tools to make repairs at the cottage, for more than 2 weeks, because the reviews about different models were very contradictory. It helped me a lot, when I found power tool reviews. There is a list of the best orbital sanders and reviews about each model and this simplifies the choice. So it seems to me that it’s best for you not to waste time on repairs and find a new durable model.
My Bosch PEX400AE sander lost power under the slightest pressure. I changed everything electrica,l no improvement. It turned out the part of the disc assembly which thr pad bolts too was seized to the main rotating section. It should freely rotating. It was full of rubbish. I cut a junior hacksaw blade in half, bent the end 90 degrees and this removed the detritus, a bit of WD40 and as good as new. Other tips. To test the stator there should be no short from the lamiations to any of the connections. Coil resistance ~3-6 ohms. The rotor, place multimeter probes where the brushes connect onto the commutator. rotate manually, resistance should be 10-11 ohms. If so all is likely ok electrcally. Shame I spent £40 on a new controller & capacitor..
