Charnwood VB300 Hook Pad for 8,9,10 & 12'' Discs

Used to replace sanding pad hooks on multi tool. Works well. Shame item comes folded as reduces adhesion in fold.

Cons:Bitterly disappointed. Two rectangular sheets arrived, not 300mm round as I invisaged. Even one 300mm square or rectangular sheet would have been better than what came. Both sheets are folded in half leaving a whopping great crease bang in the centre of each. How this will allow for a flat adhesion of the sanding sheet itself I don't know. One sheet edge was cut really poorly with a scissors. Three corners were lifting from the backing sheets. This means three corners will not adhere to the sander plate. Do I use superglue, epoxy resin, contact adhesive? Finally, there's a flat edge on either side of each sheet. There will be a blank edge round the sander plate perimiter and a double line down the centre. The disc, once attached, will not sit flat to the edge of the plate and a cavity will form in the centre. Anyone who uses a bench sander will confirm this is not good as score marks could appear on the sanded item. No advise, reassurance or instruction leaflet included so the user is left to their own devices. I'm certainly not going to attempt to stick these on as I dread the aftermath. Looks like I'm stuck with the self-adhesive option which is a real shame. Unless someone who has already fitted these hook and loop sheets can offer help and/or reassurance they work in practise.Pros:Cheap enough to just bin and move on. I can't see how faffing about with returns or complaints would get me a decent product.

Received my order very quickly, and seems to be good quality.But I need to say it comes as 2 - 150mmx 300mm strips. Although it theoretically covers a 300m sanding disc. the design of the velcro pad means that there is 3mm edge on each strip without any hooks. So when put next to each other to cover a 300mm disc there is a 6mm gap down the middle. I haven't tried it on the sander yet but I'm hoping the thickness and stiffness of my velcro sand paper will mean this ridge isn't noticeable. Maybe the 'non-hooked' edge can be cut off and butted together without the hooks coming unravelled from the sheet, and leave the outside edge of the sanding sheet not velcroed.

I purchased this for a 12 inch sanding disc I have made to fit no my wood lathe it Arrived quicker than expected but on arrival the backing paper had rolled up and the sheets had stuck to the plastic bag they were in therefore rendering the adhesive useless over large areas of the velcro sheet so it wouldn't adhere to my disc and I had to resort to staples to fix it, apart from that it works and holds the sanding discs in place well, it would have got 5 stars but for the issue with the backing paper.

Bought to replace a dewalt sanding pad. Compared to the original the barbs are too big. Once you have removed the extra material for the vacuum holes then sanding pads don't adhere quite as well. Usable but not ideal.

Does the job but comes in 2 150mm pieces so you need a bit of care to stick down and there will be a little gap between the sheets bacause the hooks dont get right to the edge. Probably not an issue.

Not a bad purchase, I would definitely be prepared to add extra glue though

An excellent fix for my multitool sanding attachment which had lost its ability to grip the sanding sheets. Simply cut it to size, make holes in the appropriate places and remove the adhesive backing paper to fix it to the sander.
