Thread: Replacing the velcro on an orbital sander pad

MG I have I sourced the hook loop through Industrial Abrasives & Engineers Supplies | All Purpose Abrasives NSW bought a sheet 400x900 and off cut cost $50 used elsewhere also works a treat and sticks like you know what.

Hook material is available in sheet form from abrasive supplies as suggested by wheelinround, and is economical if you use a lot. Norton also supply a range of styles of precut disks. Cheaper than sheets if you only need one but way more expensive if used regularly. When I was working in a polishing shop we were changing pads on a weekly basis, so sheets were the economical way to go. We found that factory pads lasted about 3 times longer than stick on ones, but stick replacements were much cheaper.

They can be peeled and replaced but it takes a bit to clear the heat affected glue off the pad.

My local Bunnings has some sizes of the Norton precut hook disks.

The Sandpaperman, one of the Forum sponsors, lists stick on replacements discs, around $5 each.
