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

WENT RIGHT IN PLACE OF THE OLD ONE. GREAT VELCROW BACKING

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

Worked and fit great on my Craftsman orbital sander!

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.

This was a replacement pad for my Craftsman Orbital Sander model 315 112170. It fit the sander, but after about 1 hour of sanding the rubber ring and hard plastic on the inside of the pad broke and came flying out of the sander. Item seemed cheap for the price paid. Going to see if they will honor the warranty. I do not recommend this product.

Fits my older sander perfectly

Good replacement for favorite sander. Also, good service.

Great replacement for brand name sanding discs. Easy to apply and remove. Will buy again.
