5" Hook-&-Loop Replacement Sander Pad for DeWalt DWE6423/6423K, DWE6421/6421K, DCW210B Random Orbital Sander - 5 Inch Aluminum Alloy Sanding Pad for Part Number DWE64233 & N329079 …

Fixed my sander back to new

Fit perfectly on my old Dewalt orbital sander. My sander isn't like new again, but it's ready to rock.

Took about 10 mins to install on a HF sander because you have to drill a slightly larger hole in another position for the HF spacing pattern. Just take your old HF pad off, align it with the new one (spin the new one so you're not drilling in the same location as the holes that are in the new one) and use the old pad as a guide. At the end you'll have 4 new holes (the ones you just drilled using the old pad as a template /guide) that fit your HF sander and 4 holes (wrong spaching for HF sanders_ that were already in the new pad. Tighten the screws and slap a disc on it. At first the disc won't be perfectly flat but after a few minutes of sanding on a scrap piece it'll flatten the pad out. Done.

we bought this for our 6423 which frankly has been a rock solid machine but the foam (not the rubber gasket, just the foam) rotted out within the first couple years. It's flaky, dry, and fell apart. So, the plate was secure by screws but anything beneath it wasn't working. I did a quick search and found this...my searches look for cheapest with solid reviews. Solid doesn't mean 9 or 10, it means a good score (>4.2) with a thousand or more.So you can see the photos - old and new - what it's supposed to look like and what it looks like if you let it go for a couple years.The plate fit well. But keep the screws from the old plate as this one doesn't come with screws (nor do I believe it should as it's a replacement).It fit perfectly (don't lose the gasket).It's a 4 because it's solid and feels like it will last about the same amount of time yet the "stickiness" of the material to hold the sandpaper isn't as robust as we'd hope. We tried it a few times with a few types of sandpaper and it's held but we're not confident it will hold so durability MAY be a concern.

Perfect fit.

It works. That's all that really matters.

The hook and loop on this thing is pathetic. It wouldn't hold onto the sanding pad to save its life. I wanted this to work because of the price but I guess you get what you pay for.

It was a perfect replacement part .
