There is a problem...

Customer Rating:
Many here have reported a problem with the screws coming threw the pad making the pad useless when it can no longer be held to the sander. Well I know why. This replacement pad (made by Porter Cable) has a thinner backing plate. The screws therefore are too long to properly secure the pad to the sander. Although the user may not realize it, the pad then shifts around the screws as it is being used. That constant shifting slowly erodes the backing plate at the screw holes - Eventually the pad just falls off.

So to make this pad last as long as the original pad, you need to either cut the screws down in length, purchase shorter screws, or find a washer that will fit. This way the pad will be properly secured to the sander and not "jiggle."

Product was very reasonable in price and exceptional quality. Very fast delivery. Everything I expected. Recommend this product and Amazon shopping.. Only complaint would be Amazon needs to take/use Pay Pal..for another payment option.........

Nice replacement

Customer Rating:
When my nearly 15 year old original pad finally gave out, I called locally to see about picking one up for a weekend project. No luck, so I figured what the heck - and Amazon came to the rescue! This was easy to install, and has worked flawlessly. Good product for the money.

Velco Pad for Porter cable Sander

Customer Rating:
I had a Porter Cable Random Orbit Sander with a PSA pad; this product allows me to choose which type of sanding pad I wish to use. The PSA for jobs involving long periods of sanding with the same piece of sand paper and velco for shorter jobs or ones requiring grit changes. I have found PSA sander costs less per sheet but once removed can not be reused while the velco sand paper system cost more per sheet but the sheets can be used over and over. It does it job well and is easlily installed. I recommend it as a replacement pad or pad for those with PSA pads like who want to increase their options.
