[Garrett French]

Is there a kit for the Makita GV5000 sander that converts it from an adhesive back to a hook and loop back?



If not - or even if so - are there any hacks for this kind of conversion that you know of?

Here's the original question from one of our site visitors:

You can get a 5" adhesive backed pad with hook and loop on the other side from Home depot. I just bought one to replace the one on my ROS. It should work fine. I think it was 5 or 6 bucks.

Perfect - I'll shoot this post over to the guy who was asking and let him know.

Sometimes knowing what to look for is all it takes - Thank you Don!
