Is the sanding pad/paper a hook and loop design?

If you mean velcro, yes. And that velcro does wear when you apply enough pressure over time.

Yes one side (replaceable sandpaper) is felt the other (sanding pad)is the hook side.

its a pad that has triangle Velcro sand paper sheets. The pad is a foam/plastic triangle block that connects the same way as the blades, I hope that helps I bought this one for a friend and I own a Bosch these tools are fantastic for just about any job hope you find what you need.

Yes it is. Really only suitable for light sanding as the hooks do wear quickly and make it unusable. You can get new pads of course not sure of the cost though.

D. Nice is correct. It is square and you can load any sheet of sandpaper on it via the clamp system. Works very well in my experience.

Dennis,If you have a 6" sander, these sanding disks will probably not cover your entire hooked pad. That would damage the hook area on the exposed portion of the pad. I would guess that these will not work.D. Stockwell

I purchased mine over a year ago and am not exactly certain. But if I remember correctly, it came with at least 4 square sheets that could be broken down for the smaller detail sander and 4 round sheets. Hope this helps. I remember thinking I was surprised that I didn't have to run out and get sandpaper right away.

I think this is the same one I have and the Storage Container was included, a sample 8 hole sanding disk which I could not find locally, ended up ordering the grits I needed later, the StickFix ?? not sure if its the Velcro like - yes. Does not hookup to other Dust collection systems smoothly they do provide a 3" or so piece of tubing that I was able to zip-tie the ends to my Fein device controlled vac. Works well but wasn't really the right tool for the boat bottom I was sanding ended up soda blasting it.

Yes, the sanding pad/paper attaches to the sanding disk like "Velcro". It is a hook and eye setup, and works well. I have had Makita and Porter Cable palm sanders (1/4 sheets)for years, but I like this better because of the variable speed control. Good luck with you choice

It does but getting the replacements is a big nightmare. The sander does not fit standard polishing pads at all. So if you want a fluffy buffer and maybe a sponge type pads you are out of luck with this sander. It only comes with ONE type made for just this sander alone. So there is no post/nut to attach a regulare pad too. The one it uses just slips on with a tie. It is dumb. I ended up buying Makita 9227CX3 7-Inch Hook and Loop Electronic Polisher-Sander with Polishing Kit. Love it.

You can either buy the Porter Cable sanding disks for this which I personally have never used, or, what I do use are after market 9" hook and loop pads as are 9" hook and loop sanding discs in many grits which are significantly lower in cost than the Porter Cable original equipment sanding discs with integral pad.

The hook and loop is the system used to hold the sandpaper to the sander. It's much like velcro. My complaint about this tool turns out to be unwarranted because upon closer inspection, the sandpaper actually separated leaving the hook and loop system intact. Of course giving me the impression that the sander would no longer attach to sandpaper. Once I figured out what happened, I had already ordered a replacement disk which is now stored in the bag with my sander--in case I ever need to replace it. I love this tool. I makes my attempt to be a carpenter/woodworker much easier. Unfortunately, I'm only fair at what I attempt but is certainly isn't this tool's fault. Highly recommend purchasing this.

There are 4 screws holding the pad to the sander. Remove the screws, remove the pad, then reverse, the process to install the new pad.

Yes...There are many assortments of sand paper from Bosh and you can use other brands as well. I like the Bosh paper best so far. The Adjustable speed also is easy to use.

If you have the auto stick sanding disc that are not adhesive. The hook and loop is what you need. The sanding disc are fluffy on the back and will stick to the pad.

I'm not sure if you own this exact attachment from B&D; but if not then the B&D; attachment is well worth the price. The replacement sanding paper is durable so you save $ on replacing them. I personally love all of Matrix's attachments. You have to own them and feel the quality of the tool & attachments.

No. Like the others have said, the paper just rests on the pad and is held from end to end. Works fine.

Yes it does but if you are going to be doing any serious work I would order several different grades of sandpaper, make sure it is hook and loop type, there are other circular types of paper on the market that have a sticky back, they do not work with the DEWALT.

Yes, this takes hook and loop sanding discs. I am positive of that, I would have to go down to my shop to see how many wholes but I believe there are eight on the sanding pad. I am not crazy about Bosch's sand paper because it tends to wear out faster than any other paper I have ever used but I really like the sander itself.
