150mm six hole sanding pad

[marcus]

Sorry this is a very boring question...

I'm trying to find somewhere I can buy a replacement 150mm 6 hole velcro pad for my metabo random orbital sander. I've tried all the obvious places I can think of and have googled to no avail. The only ones i can find are 8 hole. I hope I'm not missing something really obvious but I just can't find any. I wouldn't mind except I have £75 worth of six hole discs on the shelf... Any help appreciated!

Thanks,

Marcus.

Hi Marcus, how about buying the velcro and punching your own holes in it, or get an 8 hole one and do the same, spray paint over a 6 hole disc and ude it as a template.

Where there is a will there is a way.

I have recently been using the multi hole ones from Axminsters, seem very good with no loss of suction on the same machine as yours, I used to get the bosch ones with 6 holes from axminsters.

If you want 6 hole then CSM do them

I think Marcus is after the actual pad.

Marcus..have you tried Metabo?

Yes your right Roger

D&M do the replacement pads for the new model and should still be able to get them for the old if there is actually any difference. Scoll down the page

Edit, don't know where you have been trying but first hit on google throws up every part for every version of the 450 ( and any other ROS they make) http://www.powertoolspares.com/metabo-s ... ares-1798/
