5 Inch 8 Hole Hook and Loop Replacement Sander Pad for Craftsman 315112170, 315116940, 315116950, 315112180, 315279870 Random Orbit Sanders

This was a terrible waste of money. It is either out of round, out of balance or the mounting holes were drilled in the wrong place. Shook my sander so bad I couldn’t use it. DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT!!!

None

Couldn’t find craftsman parts. Was so happy, it fit perfectly.

Worked perfectly on my old Crafsman sander - saved me from having to buy a new one. Shipped quickly, works great.

Worked great! It’s always a gamble when buying online but these worked out good built a 2 level deck and wanted all the boards to be smooth enough to walk on barefoot..... it was a lot of sanding.

Be careful. Add shows hole dimensions that are incorrect. I had to drill new holes to use... Other than that it does stick well to the sandpaper.

Everything fit

Great fit for the Craftsman. Super heavy duty velcro. Destroys the backing of the sandpaper discs and sends them flying off the orbital sander with the fabric backing remaining on the velcro. The discs can no longer be used on the orbital. I went through a dozen discs and ended up buying a different orbital sander. I never had this issue with any sanding discs before. The heavy duty velcro removes the fabric backing when peeling off as well. Super disappointed in this product.

Finding anything in Amazon using Amazons search is a frustrating experience with a barrage of marketing incorrect products. I eventually rolled the dice and bought this product for my Craftsman Random Orbital Sander 315.116040 (see first three original parts photos) Be aware, this product **does not fit** the 315.116040 without modification. I didnt buy tools for show so I DIYd the sander pad by drilling the holes out to be ovals using the same diameter drill bit and using the side of the drill bit but to lengthen each hole radially outwards, very carefully. Each hole is roughly 1.5x long by 1.0x wide (do not widen!). Then I attached it to the Craftsman sander without issue. For the money I paid for this ($7.79) it was not worth my time to return the part. Based upon the immediate need, it was worth the time to try and modify, which worked out nicely this time.

This was a replacement pad for my Craftsman Orbital Sander model 315 112170. It fit the sander, but after about 1 hour of sanding the rubber ring and hard plastic on the inside of the pad broke and came flying out of the sander. Item seemed cheap for the price paid. Going to see if they will honor the warranty. I do not recommend this product.
