PORTER-CABLEHook And Loop Pad for Model 333 Sander, 5-Inch, 1-Pack (13904)

I was glad to find this replacement pad for my old Porter Cable orbital. The sanding discs I most often use adhere well and the installation took less than a minute. Cost was reasonable and a great tool is back up and running.

This was an exact replacement for my 25 year old sander. Nice to get it back into like new condition. New may doesn't seem to have the same adherence as the original, but had no issues with various brand sandpaper.

Is your PC sander no longer holding sandpaper? This will fix the problem. Three screws to remove the old, tired pad, blow out the dust and spend a few extra pennies and change the drive belt while you are in there (Porter Cable 903373 Belt - Random Orbit), three screws to re-install the new pad and you are back sanding away. One big tip, always make sure you have sandpaper installed on the pad before you start sanding, if not, you will wear down the "Velcro" quickly.

Good replacement part. I replaced this on my sander about seven years ago. If you can use a screwdriver, you have the skills it takes to change this part out.

You can search online for reasons to keep your old P-C sander; I won't duplicate the reasons here.There are (at least) three pad types that are all compatible with the Porter-Cable 5-inch 5-hole 333 or 333VS sanders: Nos. 13904, 13905, and 13909. They are all 5-inch diameter, all have the same three mounting holes in the same spacing & orientation, and they all have five dust holes. The differences are as follows: The 13904 and 13909 are both "standard" firmness and are for sanding mostly flat surfaces. The 13905 is slightly thicker and slightly spongier, and is for sanding things that have slight contours (i.e. are not perfectly flat), because the thicker padding conforms better to contours. The 13905 is also better for rounding off corners/edges, as it helps you make the corners/edges rounded as opposed to beveled/chamfered. The 13909 has an airflow trench in its surface that allows you to use the more popular 8-hole 5-inch sanding discs, because the dust (presumably) can travel from the sanding disc's holes through the trench to the five dust collection holes in the sander pad. If you're buying this online, you're probably not averse to buying sanding discs online, so the fact that hardware stores often don't carry a large selection of 5-hole 5-inch discs is not an issue: You can just buy them online, and they're about the same price as 8-hole discs anyway. So from that standpoint, you're probably better off NOT buying the 13909, since the trench in the pad means there's a ring of the sandpaper that doesn't really do anything, and when you rip the used disc off your sander, you'll notice that every time you have a used disc with a quarter-inch-wide, 2.5-inch diameter ring of perfectly good, unused sanding area, which in my opinion is a waste. Just go with either the 13904 or 13905 and buy 5-hole discs and you'll be better off. Actually I have one each of the 13904 and 13905, and I can switch between them depending on what I'm sanding, plus having two means I have a backup for the inevitable moment when I run a pad into some sharp corner & destroy the pad's foam edge. I've seen a post suggesting that the old version came with a metal backing plate and the newer ones come with a cheap plastic backing plate, and though I haven't seen that person's original sanding pad, I suspect even his original one, like mine, had a black fiberglass plate (which I agree looks like metal), and the newer ones have clear fiberglass plates, which look like plastic.

Exactly as advertised

This works like a charm! My 20+ yr old sander needed this item replace. Wow! It’s taken my sander back to being able to use it again. I just used it to complete the sanding project of painting my kitchen cabinets, save me tons of work that doing it by hand would have been. Thanks!

The pad on my palm sander was starting to come apart. Quick delivery and installation and I was back in business. It’s great to be able to repair and not throw away the sander.

Happy with my purchase, fits well on Porter cablePalm Sander

Tal y cual buscaba a un precio similar en dolar. Excelente vendedor y envió rápido

The sanding pad for my model 333 sander but the bullet. This was an excellent replacement. Easy to install and works as expected. A bit pricey but I wanted it to be Porter and Cable.
