5-Inch Hook and Loop Backing Pad Replacement Sander Pad for Ryobi RS290, RS280, P411, Milwaukee 6021-21 & 6034-21, Craftsman 315.112170,315.116940

The original ryobi blue had a indentation in the center for the bolt that the spindle plate spins on This one does not have that. So I will have to grind one in the center of the new one to accommodate that center bolt to prevent heat from friction.. See pics

Matched up perfectly to my Ryobi sander. good value

Exactly what I needed and fit perfect.

Didnt fit my Craftsman sander.

Product looked good and seemed fine but, when I installed it with the screws, it was off-center. Not able to use. Reluctantly, I missed the date to return because of work travel.

Fit as advertised

This backing pad returned my sander back to new. It was simple to change and my sandpaper doesnt fall off anymore.

My old blue ryobi RS290’s still kickin so when it came time for back pad w/ Velcro (hook & loop) surface, I was concerned that the current RS290 aka RS290G (bright green-yellow) pads may not fit right. Ordered this one & it next day arrived. Took under a minute to manually screw on. (Sans drill so as to prevent over tightening; which could possibly result in forcing the screw heads through the hard plastic backing. Same protocol I used w/ OEM pads in the past.) Briefly stuck a an old sanding disc to the hook & loop surface just to see how well it stuck. Took a tug to detach it so now I’m excited to use it. Course it started pouring out so I’ll update with how it compares to OEM in action. I’m in constant project mode so I’ll be putting through a couple of big jobs the second it stops raining. When you’re wasting lots of sandpaper bc of fly offs, do yourself a favor & change the Velcro. This is an all in one pad & hook & loop assembly. Good idea to take a soft brush & get in there & remove dust buildup while you’re at it. Gonna do same thing with my finish sander next to get more use out of each pc of sandpaper. Happy sanding!

The replacement pad fit my sander perfectly and was installed in moments. Hook and Loop adhesion seems good as it hasnt thrown a sandpaper disc yet. Very happy with the purchase.

works as described
