5 Inch Dia 8 Hole Sander Hook and Loop Replacement Sanding Pad For Makita BO5010, BO5030/K, BO5031K, BO5041K, XOB01Z Sander

The original holes did Not match, so I had to do some round file work to make it fit.

Used on my makita sander

I got this to replace the current sanding pad on a Makita rotary sander. The pad backing is made of cheap plastic and it lasted about 3 uses before the plastic wore down and the screws were no longer securing it to the unit. My takeaway? Pay a little more for a better replacement.

Ordered two replacement pads so Id have a spare when the first one ran out. Ive owned and replaced several of these sanders and replaced pads multiple times. It does not fit the BO5010. Frustrating. Looks like a cheap ripoff of the real thing, and it doesnt even look like it would last long if it did fit. Overall, very poor quality.

This was supposed to be a replacement for my Makita orbital sander the holes never lined up I had to drill new holes if you don’t get it perfectly centered when you drill your own holes the unit will not operate correctly

Does not work on makita as stated!

The screw holes that come pre-drilled in this pad are for countersunk for flat-head screws. However my Makita has round head screws with fixed washers and they wont fit in the provided holes. Youll need to countersink the holes with a brad point or forstner bit. Not a big deal but it is clearly not designed for the Makita sander.
