Thread: 150mm 8 Hole Velcro backed Sanding Discs

I have used a mixture of the pads and their difference in numbers of holes, the only difference I can see is the effectiveness of the dust collection. I got some 3M discs the other day that fit either/or of the number of holes alternating holes are elongated to span the gap and meet either style, might be as easy a solution to simply cut a slot so that your holes meet theirs.

Thanks Hickory,
I can see what you mean there, but you'd think a manufacturer who doesn't supply spares, would check what the paper makers provide.

Noel

Which leaves the GMC with the 150mm pad.
Problem is that this pad has 8 holes, and all the normal suppliers through my local hardware store only have 150mm pads with 6 Holes.

Any suggestions, or a source of supply.

G'day Noel. I have a GMC with 2 different size discs ans 2 different size Bosch Sanders. If I can't get a particular number hole type I just by a heap of plain ones and punch holes in them myself with a hole punch and using an old disc as a template.
Cheers
