Can be used with old B&D 1-1/4 thread bolts with minor modifications. Great pillow!

Used this molding to replace a worn molding on my old Black and Decker, also a 4 bolt 1-1/4 pitch. This seal worked, but required some modifications. In particular, I used a burr to widen the center hole a bit. My old last also had holes between the pre-drilled holes that lined up with the small pins. So I took an old last, drilled through it, and then used the old last as a template to find the intermediate holes on the new last. Overall it took me 5-10 minutes to modify this pad to work with my B&D. However, if you don't have the opportunity to expand the center hole a bit, it will be a disappointment. If I didn't have cutters I would probably use a dremel to widen the center hole. But it's plastic, so it's easy to cut. The case itself is well made and of good quality. Easier than the original. The velcro worked well and held tight. I was very happy to keep my old B&D for less than $10 instead of buying a brand new grinder. It took a bit of modification/tweaking, but the end result is well worth the effort.

Pros
  • Consistent test results
Cons
  • Could have chosen a newer model
