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

The triagular pattern of holes is a bit off. It doesnt fit the Makita BO5010 without a bit of forceful work with a screwdriver.

This is a cool Dia 8 hook it made my job so much easier and it was simple to put it on .

Product states that its compatible with this particular sander. NOT. Holes are not counter sunk and as a result will not work.

This pad does NOT work with the BO5010KX sander

The text in the ad for this Makita hook and loop pad says that it will fit a Makita BO3050 ROS. It will, if you enlarge the holes for the 3 screws. The three attachment holes (as opposed to the 8 air holes) on the hook and loop side are too small. I didnt buy this pad to have to drill it out. It would probably not look good if I did that. Drill bits dont drill flat-bottomed holes. Forstner bits would do that, but I have none that small. The large hole on the backside of this pad is 1 and 3/32 inch in diameter, which is the right size for the Makita bearing box cap on the BO3050 random orbit sander. Also, as Amy G. has pointed out in another Amazon review, the three screw holes in the hard plastic backing of the hook and loop pad are not in the right position. They are too far from the center of the pad by about a millimeter or two. I did attempt to elongate these with a round file. A true Makita pad has holes for the three screws that are more like slots than perfectly round holes. There is no need to mess with the elongated holes on a true Makita pad. So, to make this pad fit a Makita BO3050, you will need to enlarge the 3 holes on the hook and loop side and you will need to elongate the same holes on the back side of the pad. I cannot recommend this product.

Worked and fit perfectly.
