5-Inch Hook and Loop Backing Pad Replacement Sander Pad for Ryobi RS290, RS280, P411, Milwaukee 6021-21 & 6034-21, Craftsman 315.112170,315.116940

The original ryobi blue had a indentation in the center for the bolt that the spindle plate spins on This one does not have that. So I will have to grind one in the center of the new one to accommodate that center bolt to prevent heat from friction.. See pics

Purchased at the end of August and, by the beginning of October, I had to purchase a new one. It was great while it lasted, but the pad itself did not hold up for long.

Fit my sander with no problems at all. Thanks folks

Its works however it did not have the securing notch in the center, but works great!

Holes don’t Mach to put the bolts in

Put my Milwaukee 5 sander adheres great.

Before purchasing I compared the description and measurements with my sander and found it was a match. I think my old backing pad is a bit softer than this one, but that may just be due to wear over time. This pad works well, holds the disks well.

My old blue ryobi RS290’s still kickin so when it came time for back pad w/ Velcro (hook & loop) surface, I was concerned that the current RS290 aka RS290G (bright green-yellow) pads may not fit right. Ordered this one & it next day arrived. Took under a minute to manually screw on. (Sans drill so as to prevent over tightening; which could possibly result in forcing the screw heads through the hard plastic backing. Same protocol I used w/ OEM pads in the past.) Briefly stuck a an old sanding disc to the hook & loop surface just to see how well it stuck. Took a tug to detach it so now I’m excited to use it. Course it started pouring out so I’ll update with how it compares to OEM in action. I’m in constant project mode so I’ll be putting through a couple of big jobs the second it stops raining. When you’re wasting lots of sandpaper bc of fly offs, do yourself a favor & change the Velcro. This is an all in one pad & hook & loop assembly. Good idea to take a soft brush & get in there & remove dust buildup while you’re at it. Gonna do same thing with my finish sander next to get more use out of each pc of sandpaper. Happy sanding!

This was purchased as a replacement part for my Husbands tool. He did need to adjust it a little, however he said for the price it was well worth it. The little adjustment he made in order for the part to fit his tool was minor, but it now works well.

All is great, Works fine, good price, received as promised.
