🪚 OEM 3-Inch Sander Pads Review

I bought this for my Ridgid R2600 grinder and am very happy with it. Great price, next day delivery, great quality. I had to change the holes to fit the screws. I used a 3/8" drill bit on the foam and a 13/64" drill bit on the base to open up the holes. Installing the new gasket took less than 5 minutes and it works great.

I bought this for my old Black & Decker RO100 that I always had. The movement block has a collar and 4 locking pins, as well as 4 bolt holes. It's just bolt holes. The screw holes lined up and I nudged the pad to insert the dowel pins so it lay flat. Although not designed for my grinder, it fit. Not as soft and flexible as the original. It is very hard.

Bought as a replacement for the Rigid R2600 grinder. This batch is not a direct OEM replacement as suggested. It's stiffer than the original and the screw holes aren't big enough. I had to use a 1/2" drill bit to mount the screw heads. This of course required precise cleaning with a razor blade to avoid damaging the velcro hooks. Would return it if the need wasn't so great.
