5 Inch 8 Hole Hook and Loop Replacement Sander Pad for Craftsman 315112170, 315116940, 315116950, 315112180, 315279870 Random Orbit Sanders

Fits my older sander perfectly

this was easy to install. Just remove 4 screws to take off the old pad and use them to add this more substantial one. The hook and loop works perfectly with the disks I bought. There is one caveat for using this with my B&D BDERO 100. The original pad is glued to a backing plate that fits into a collar. This product does not have the proper profile to slide into the collar. So you have to pry the backing plate off the old pad and use it as a shim when installing this one. Took about 5 min with a chisel to get it off.

The replacement pad allows me to use my sander again. Great replacement!

My old original sander pad started turning to dust after years of use this new one fit perfectly

Bought this item and it was a direct replacement for my sander

Specifically entered in my model of orbital sander and I asked if my specific model was supported and they informed me that yes it was. Well nope its not correct.

Finding anything in Amazon using Amazons search is a frustrating experience with a barrage of marketing incorrect products. I eventually rolled the dice and bought this product for my Craftsman Random Orbital Sander 315.116040 (see first three original parts photos) Be aware, this product **does not fit** the 315.116040 without modification. I didnt buy tools for show so I DIYd the sander pad by drilling the holes out to be ovals using the same diameter drill bit and using the side of the drill bit but to lengthen each hole radially outwards, very carefully. Each hole is roughly 1.5x long by 1.0x wide (do not widen!). Then I attached it to the Craftsman sander without issue. For the money I paid for this ($7.79) it was not worth my time to return the part. Based upon the immediate need, it was worth the time to try and modify, which worked out nicely this time.

Worked great! It’s always a gamble when buying online but these worked out good built a 2 level deck and wanted all the boards to be smooth enough to walk on barefoot..... it was a lot of sanding.

When I loaned my sander to a friend the old pad came off. This replacement was easy. My friend has sanded some table tops with it.

It’s a perfect replacement and great fit for my craftsman orbital sander.
