What do I buy to turn this into a hook and loop? Do I buy the PC 18001 6-Inch hook and loop pad? Then I can use any 6" velcro pads like Meguiars etc?

Yes you buy the backing plate and then any sponge pads will attach with the velcro. I checked the product description for this and it doesn't come with the backing plate so you have to buy it. Note the section about what others have bought with this and you'll see they picked up the backing plate at the same time. BTW it's a nice machine, a little noisey but it gets the job done and you won't burn the paint.

It should still come with the "Velcro" pad some call it hook and loop same thing, as for which pads yes you can purchase the Maguire's pads most anywhere, but be very careful and make sure you purchase the correct pad for the job you are doing, to get the best results.

First you'll need a hook and loop backing plate. Then you'll be able to use hook and loop pads.

I use the 6" pads that are made by the same company, (Griot's Garage). Amazon sells these as well. Just do a search for "griots garage 6" pads".

hook and loop means it is like velcro. If you mean by stick on, a glue, then this is not what you want. But stick on usually means velcro like attaching of the piece

The older pads have 5 holes for dust pickup-- the newer PC #333 ROSs have, I believe 9 holes. You can still get both types of Velcro attach sanding pads. There are pads that have such an array of holes that they fit all types of pads, but that's not a good idea, IMO. Too easily torn. I don't know which PC number is which pad-- just get the right type for your replacement (Velcro or adhesive attachment). Hope this helps.

You can use the really heavy duty thumb tacks that come with it or the velcro. I used both. It's really very well made and not flimsy.

Hi! Unit uses a 4" pad. First impression- too small. But after using it, this is a size that's easier to control. Hope this helps.

This attachment did not fit my 5KSS, and I had to return it. Contact the supplier, and he will tell you which hook is the correct one for your machine. BTW, the return process was painless. ck

I don't think it was. After I purchase two of them, first thing I did was recut the 6" sand pad down to 5" then I believe I added a 4" wide piece of velcro. Instead of buying new pad every time the velcro wear out on our sanders, we just add new velcro---4" wide velcro roll can be picked up for the cost of two new sanding pads--Much cheaper way to go when if you have a lot of sanders in the shop.

I bought and used these velcro straps and am very happy with them. Softride 26260 Hook and Loop Soft Wrap - Pack of 4. Unfortunately they are out of stock right now, but this does happen from time to time. They usually return to stock pretty quickly.

Velcro is a registered and trademarked name. Kind of like Styrofoam. That is why they call it Hook and Loop.

Perhaps... 3M Hookit 6 inch soft interface pad #05777 ... sits between between backing pad and finishing disc. Note this is for hook & loop, but I would guess an adhesive equivalent can be had too.

Yep hook and loop- seems to be a pretty good sander. I have not tried that brand of sandpaper on this.

You are only getting the hook. ( 6 x 2 x 6 inches ) You need to get a pole of have one. I happened to have one that I use for painting walls etc. The hook seems pretty universal to fit on most any utility extension pole.

The loop by itself is only about 12". It hooks from your seatbelt to the hook on your dog harness. It also come s with the complete harness if your are buying the micro harness too.......works great.....

This is the hook end. The material on the buffing pad will attach to this (Velcro type)

The hook & loop is the sandpaper type u use for the sander. the sandpaper is like velcro that just sticks to the sander. this is a very nice sander
