Be In Your Mind 6 Inch Sander Backing Pad Sander Base 150mm 17 Holes Sander Replacement Pad Compatible with RO1 ES150 ET2 BO6030 BO6040 for Polishing Grinding

I've been using one of these on a Makita BO6030 for two weeks now and the pad is showing only minor signs of wear. The Makita branded original soft pad, of which I had two, lasted 6 hours, and 4.5 hours respectively, before disintegrating. So we're looking at al least a 10 x improvement in durability over the Makita alternative on the same workload - and I'd be surprised if it doesn't end at over a 20 x improvement.Not only does this backing pad last much longer than the Makita one, it also produces a far superior finish. The Makita pad produced significant pig-tail trails that couldn't be avoided. The best you could do was to go over an area many times from different directions and with different speeds in order to hide the pig-tails by overlaying them with as many variations as possible. This pad, produces very light pig-tails that are essentially invisible from more than a meter away on oiled hardwood. Which means it also gets the job done in about half the time of the Makita pad, since you don't have to over the same area so many times to layer your sanding marks.The reason for the superior finish is obvious. The pad is far better balanced than the Makita one. You immediately feel the difference when you turn the machine on - it does not wobble and bounce like it does with the Makita pad fitted. As a consequence it doesn't bite into the wood, but instead just glides smoothly and effortlessly over it. With far lower vibration, it's less fatiguing to use the machine. I've been regularly using it for 6 hours of sanding per day with essentially no fatigue. I could keep going for 6 more - if only it wasn't such a desperately boring task.It's also fairly obvious that the vibration is likely what is responsible for the Makita pads disintegrating so rapidly. Which is why I'm confident that these pads will last much longer yet. The lack of vibration means they are not physically tearing themselves apart as you sand, and the rubber doesn't get nearly as hot due to constant deformation.

Nice replacement

I usually buy the Makita branded backing disc...but when I saw this for a third of the price...i thought I'd have a punt. A makita disc lasts me 6-8 weeks. This lasted 1.To be fair...my job means it hits an edge a lot. If there was no edge...it would probably be ok. Probably.

Nothing to dislike. The item arrived on time and intact. It fitted my sander perfectly. 👌

Fitted my Mikita sander perfectly and a lot cheaper than original and does same job

Great backing pad and better than the original fitted to my Makita random orbital sander...===============================Update...It was great for the first 20 sanding discs, but then the discs came flying off almost straight away.

This came flying off whilst in use on my machine due to it not being able to screw down far enough. Could of caused a dangerous injury to some one or my self not happy with this

Doesn’t fit Marita BO6030 properly as boss too thick, flimsy construction, broke within 60 seconds

la parte che viene fissata alla levigatrice non è di metallo come in foto illustrativa ma in plastica.oggetto non corrispondente alla foto presentata nell'inserzione.

PERFECTAS PARA MI LIJADORA.

Makita BO6030: Perfecto, tenía que buscar un tornillo más largo pero eso igual. Ya he usado un montón durante la semana pasada y no hay ningún daño o defecto, va muy bien.

Va bien, lo único malo es que al tiempo se va el velcro, pero como todos los platos supongo

No es compatible al 100% porque el tornillo que viene en la lijadora se queda corto para esta repuesto. He tenido que utilizar uno de M6 más largo y no me permite poner arandela. Por lo demás bien. Solo he usado de prueba aun
