5 Inch 8-Hole Interface Pad for Orbital Sander, Hook & Loop

Great for Dewalt Random Orbital sander. Allows gentle pressure changes and forms to surface curves as you sand. Good hook and loop adhesion, and so far no peeling away at edges... holds the sanding disc of choice nice and snug for a good finish. Exactly what I wanted, and may prolong the life of the Dewalt screw-on hook pad, and save you money long run. Nice product!

Worked great. Allowed me to keep going on my project. Definitely recommend.

Big help to keep my sander from jumping around and totally worth the purchase in that regard. However, as others have mentioned the loop side of these is kind of like fleece and less like loops, and becomes problematic. The hook pad on my sander was replaced fairly recently and is in excellent condition, and the pad sticks pretty good when you first start using it, but is still prone to shifting a bit when in use. After some use though (probably 2-3 hours) the loop side starts losing some of it's grip and starts shifting much more, and the more you peel it back and reposition it the worse it becomes. The first pad I used probably lasted 4-5 hours at the most and ended up in the trash. The pad was still in good shape, it just wouldn't stick anymore. They work great, but don't expect a long life out of them.

WOW!! For something I had never heard of before I saw it on Amazon when looking for a replacement part for my Ryobi 5” sander this is an absolutely wonderful find! When the hook and loop backing pad on my sander came apart, while I was sanding the 2 x 4 railing on our new deck, I went to Amazon for a replacement part. While looking through the many options I saw this interface pad, curious as to it’s purpose I read the description and reviews. The claim that it worked well for sanding edges caught my eye as I believe sanding so many edges, (while probably not being careful enough), on the railing caused my backing pad to fail. Hoping it might help make the rest of the edge sanding easier on my Arthritic hands as well as on my sander I ordered the $9.99 twin pack. Who knew what a difference something so inexpensive could make....!! I said WOW and here’s why: The pad fits perfectly on my 5”, 8 hole Ryobi Random Orbit sander, every one of the 8 holes perfectly aligned, and stayed on perfectly straight through three hours of heavy sanding. Although it makes the sandpaper a bit harder to pull off because it’s such a great H&L surface I’m very satisfied with the H & L properties of both sides of the interface pad. The cushioning effect of this Soft “Poliwell” pad is just right for a sanding project with many edges. The cushioning allows the sandpaper to curve around the edges while keeping contact between the wood and the sandpaper. The better contact evened out the wear on my sandpaper. I believe the cushioning effect will protect my backing pad but only time will tell on that point. The sander does seem to move more smoothly and does not skip as it has in the past. As to it’s longevity; I can’t rate that because I’ve only used the pad for about three hours but if it does not hold up well I will address that in amendment to this review. All in all I’m totally satisfied with this product and highly recommend it to anyone, especially if you do much contour and/or edge sanding.

It held up well for project #1. It saves a ton of time from hand sanding curved surfaces. Great foam sanding pad for the price. Will update to see how many uses I get out of 1 foam pad.

good product for my orbital sander no issues with hook and loop.

Fit in my dewalt sander perfectly. In addition to making the sandpaper more versatile it reduces vibration in your hand.

I'm a hobbyist and I'm refinishing an old dinning room table and chairs. My sander already has some give and I did most of the curves so I got this hoping to avoid most of the hand sanding. It worked but it started tearing out quickly and had to do a bunch of hand sanding. Next time I need something like this I'll have to buy more to make sure I can get through the project.

Good quality

Great product for a great price. Using these on my Ryobi orbital sander for mouldings and corners on furniture

Aun no las utilizo, sin embargo se ven de excelente material, y vienen 2!!! Me gustó mucho su bolsa portadora. Quedé muy satisfecho con la compra, espero que al usarlas me sirvan correctamente.

Appear to be well made and as advertised.

Quality seems great and these are hard to find in box stores, where I live anyway and with fast shipping it just made sense to order on Amazon
