Will I be able to use a velco backing sanding pads with this machine

My apologies but I really cannot answer your question. I am just using it with the buffer pads made for it so altering it to use velcro sanding pads would be uncertain. Sorry I wasn't more help.

Yes, however I would use an electric belt sander, If sanding was necessary.

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

Hi, you PC includes only one foam pad which IMHO is useless. You can buy some pads from here, I recommend the Hex Logic Foam Pads, there are some very good packages from Chemical Guys. You will also need a backing plate to attach those pads to your polisher, luckily you can find it on Amazon too.

Not unless you have the spline to SDS adapter. http://www.amazon.com/Bosch-HA1020-SDS-Plus-Adapter-Hammers/dp/B0009H5PUY/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1394999002&sr=8-2&keywords=Bosch+11247

You will most likely need to purchase special polishing pads that have a Velcro backing for this machine. Also start off in a small area and do a test to see if you will get the results you expect. I started off polishing a granite counter top and the diamond disk I started with was too course and the grinder I used lacked a variable speed. Once I realized the error of my ways, and purchased grinder, it took some extra polishing to get to the level of luster that I needed to achieve. If you are looking to do a large area, this can take a while and be difficult work again depending on how much grinding and polishing you need to do.

probably not this is more of a polisher than a sander I have done many floors and I usualy get the rental belt sander and orbital sander for the sanding and leveling then you will need an edge sander to get up to the trim wear a mask and I reccomend a tyvec suit, it gets rough with old finish

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.

The machine will work but effectiveness depends entirely on the grit of the sandpaper you buy. Get a 60 or 80 grit for tough dried on drips. 120 for lighter sanding

I have very successfully used this Makita backing pad with a number of 7 inch polishing pads I obtained via the internet from from Regent Stone Products. The pads are quite inexpensive and include Hogs Hair, Steel Wool, and varying consistencies of Nylon. I used them for cleaning and polishing a marble shower and marble bathroom floor. I Also used to clean and polish about 600 square feet of limestone flooring and do this about every two years. They work well with the Makita polisher.

I purchased a 3 inch semi flexible backing pad with velcro for mine. I don't think you would want to try this on a 6 inch pad. You need to get a new backing pad. I looked at what type of threaded mount was on my orbital buffer. Then I searched and searched before I found the 3 inch mount I needed. Here is the link.http://www.dexpan.com/back-up-pad-semi-flexible-rubber-backer-granite-polishing-pad-rsb03.aspxWith shipping, it was around $15.00. Worked perfectly for me.

You probably could, but why bother? The sanding pad has two hold down clamps, one front and one back - so there is no need for adhesive paper. Simply get your favorite flavor (grit and make) in normal size (9x11) sheets, cut into quarters and fit them on the sander. 3M has something called "no-slip grip" that supposedly holds them to the sanding block. Perhaps that is what you are thinking of. FYI - The sander comes with holes in the pad and a full-pad punch, so you can hook it to a vacuum and cut down of the dust. Handy feature. The little dust can on it is pretty useless.

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 above sander is an orbital sander. the results are very good and as long as the sandpaper dose not clog up you should not have problems with ring marks. the sander sits well in the hand and is great to work with. in my time as a joiner (37 years) I have not come across a straight back and forth sander. I use three different Makita sanders , a Festool orbital and a Festool random orbital. the Festool machines are great machines, but the above Makita is certainly the workhorse. I hope that helps

This can only be used on an angle grinder, I have not seen a version of this in a flat pad for a random orbit sander.

Thank you for your question. THe ROS20VSK with the correct sanding sheets and speed setting will do well for many applications such as stripping old varnish and stain as well as sanding hardwood plywood to shelving quality. The sander is supplied with a 'soft' backing pad for multipurpose applications. If you have further questions please feel free to contact our Bosch Customer Service Representatives at 1-877-BOSCH-99 (1-877-267-2499).

This pad is for use with hook and loop sanding discs which have the velcro backing. This makes changing discs very fast and efficient, so I guess you can classify this as a stick on pad.
