Is this product supposed to come with an actual sanding disc? I just opened mine and there is none.

No, you will need to buy the sanding discs. heres a link with many options http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_2?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords;=5%22%20sanding%20disk

I did not notice and did not expect that a sandpaper disc would be included. You will need lots of them anyway.

Jose, My Makita came with the attached base disc but no sandpaper discs. Hope that helps. Pat

Ours didn't either, but the description of what's in the box says there is supposed to be one.

This item comes with the drill attachment. The neat thing is that you can get other attachments (a sander is one) for this device.

Sanding disks come in different grits, even 60 and 40 and they take of a lot of material quickly. I have used 150 grit...not sure if you can buy 240???...wear some gloves or attach the guard (if possible because these grinding/sanding wheels are aggressive and will take a slice from your hand if you do not respect it. Also try to use a rubber washer, it flexes while supporting the cardboard sanding/grinding disc. PS there is not such thing as a stupid question!!!!

I ordered this product in sand. The product came in the original sealed GT packaging, so I am only assuming that the product is covered by the manufacturer of it. I will do some more research and update his post.

The various sized sanding drums and filler plates comes with it. Basically everything you need to plug it in and start using it. I like mine a lot! It's a nice tool for a very reasonable price.

It comes with one sanding disk (cant remember what grit). I would recommend buying a box of sanding grits along with the sander since you will go through them fairly quickly Mirka 23-615-AP Gold 5-Inch 8-Hole Dustless Hook-and-Loop Sanding Disks, 10 Each of 5 Grits

Hi! When I bought the base the ceramic disc was included. You get to replace both. It's good because the plastic the base is made from tends to get brittle over time and from the heat.

Hi Sophia, my sander has an 8 hole pad, but I did purchase it over 5 yrs ago. If you're going to buy one I highly recommend using the Bosch sanding discs only. I'm into woodworking and the other discs just don't get the job done. If you're looking for a very high quality, long lasting, professional grade sander at a reasonable price, this is your model. Good luck and hope you enjoy using it!

No, it does not come with sand. You can usually get sand at a local hobby store.

I don't know. The one I bought worked perfectly and I had no issues with the sanding screen. Even my contractor was sold on the item.

It does come with the pad. The sanding discs are separate. The case has locations for the T-loc, but did not come with anything to attach two cases together.

I get my discs from here: http://www.worlddiamondsource.com/wds1.aspx?Id=Polishing_Pads_for_Hand-Held_GrindersI'd call and speak with a customer service rep, who can direct you to a particular abrasive depending on what materials you are working with. I've been dealing with WDS for years and they have been very knowledgeable and helpful, as well as competitive. Best of luck!

If you need a sander to lie flat, then buy a belt sander. Laying a disc in a horizontal position is dangerous.

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

If I recall.......mine had no belts. I buy 5 packs at my local ACE hardware for like 6 bucks I think. Uses the 18" belts. My sander is still working very well after lot'sa use. Could not be happier.......especially considering the price!!

No. It comes in a cardboard box and wrapped in a plastic bag. It is very heavy. Only thing good for is sanding floors. I wouldn't buy this again.

The pad included has hook and loop and actually comes with a sanding disc already attached.
