This 5-inch orbital sander pad replaces many common sander pads. It measures 125mm across. It has an 8-hole pattern for dust collection. The hook-and-loop surface lets you attach and remove sanding discs quickly, without needing any glue. Features and Benefits - Hook-and-loop fastening system - This makes changing sanding discs fast and simple. It holds discs firmly while you work but lets you remove them easily. - 8-hole dust collection design - It lines up with the vacuum holes on your sander. This pulls dust away from the work surface. It keeps the air cleaner and stops sandpaper from clogging. - Medium-density polyurethane construction - It bends enough to follow slight curves in your workpiece. It's also firm enough for effective flat sanding. - Standard mounting pattern - This replacement sander pad fits many popular random orbital sanders. These include brands like DeWalt, Makita, and Bosch. Check your tool's screw pattern to be sure. Applications - In woodworking, use it to prepare wood surfaces for staining or finishing. The 8-hole design keeps the grain visible. - For auto body prep, it's good for scuffing primer or feathering body filler before you apply paint. - During home renovation, quickly sand down drywall patches or strip old paint from trim and furniture. What It Is This is a 5 inch (125mm) orbital sander pad, designed for use with random orbital sanders. It features an 8-hole dust extraction pattern to help manage debris during sanding. The pad uses a hook and loop attachment system, allowing for quick and easy changes of sanding discs. It is a replacement or spare part for your random orbital sanding tool. Key Uses & Applications This 5 inch orbital sander pad is primarily used for general sanding tasks across various materials. Its compatibility with random orbital sanders makes it suitable for achieving a smooth, swirl-free finish on wood, metal, and plastics. The 8-hole dust extraction design helps to keep the work surface clear, improving visibility and reducing airborne dust, which is beneficial for preparing surfaces for painting, varnishing, or polishing. How to Choose When selecting an orbital sander pad, ensure it matches your sander's specifications. This 5 inch (125mm) pad is for random orbital sanders and uses a hook and loop attachment. Check your sander's existing pad for its diameter and hole configuration; this pad has an 8-hole pattern. An incorrect size or attachment type will not fit. Consider if your current pad is worn or damaged; a new pad improves sanding efficiency and finish quality. Grit / Spec Guide This sanding pad itself does not have a grit rating; grit applies to the sanding discs attached to it. The 125mm (5 inch) diameter and 8-hole configuration are key specifications. For aggressive material removal, use discs with lower grit numbers, such as 80 grit. For finer finishes and preparing surfaces for painting, use higher grit numbers like 150 grit. The hook and loop system allows for rapid changes between different grit discs. Care & Safety Regularly inspect the 5 inch orbital sander pad for wear, damage, or hardening of the hook and loop surface, which can lead to poor disc adhesion. Clean the pad periodically to remove dust and debris that can accumulate in the hook and loop fibres. Always disconnect the random orbital sander from the power source before changing pads or discs. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including eye protection and a dust mask, when operating a sander.
