Mkobon Foam Sanding Pads, 5-Inch 8-Hole Hook-and-Loop Interface Pads

For sanding a curved panel, smoothing furniture, or working across wood and metal, these Mkobon foam pads add a soft interface between an orbital sander and its sanding disc. The flexible cushion is designed to help the disc follow contours and stay closer to edges.

Each pad has a 5-inch diameter and an 8-hole layout. The hook-and-loop sides connect the pad to a compatible sander and disc, making changes tool-free.

The four-pack is suited to dry or wet grinding, as well as sanding, paint removal, and polishing. Its soft-density foam is designed to damp vibration and bounce during surface work.

The 8-hole design supports dust extraction through the pad during sanding, helping keep dust from collecting around the disc. The flexible foam can also help maintain closer contact with edges and contoured surfaces. For a practical fit, pair each pad with a 5-inch orbital sander and a sanding disc that use a compatible hook-and-loop attachment and hole pattern.

Getting the most from it

Attach the pad between the orbital sander and sanding disc, aligning the hook-and-loop surfaces and the eight holes before starting work. This interface is useful when a standard firm backing setup feels less suited to a curved or uneven surface: the soft foam gives the disc a more flexible cushion while sanding. On a furniture project, for example, it can help the sanding disc follow shaped edges, for metal or wood work, it can also be used for sanding, paint removal, or polishing.

The pads are described for both wet and dry grinding, so choose the method that fits the task and the sanding disc in use. Buyers praise the soft feel and fit on their orbital sanders, and some see the pads as an alternative to a dedicated contour-sanding setup. Feedback is mixed on how securely the hook-and-loop holds discs and on how well the pads withstand repeated use, so attaching the disc firmly before working is a useful part of setup.

Included in the package

The package contains four foam sanding pads. Each is a 5-inch, 8-hole interface pad with hook-and-loop attachment, giving you multiple pads for project work or replacements as needed.
