Gnellkoor 2 Pack 5 Inch 8-Hole Orbital Sander Pads – Ridgid R2501/R2600 Compatible

Upgrade your sanding setup with the Gnellkoor 2 Pack 5 Inch 8-Hole Orbital Sander Pads

This pair of replacement pads is designed to perform in busy workshop environments, offering a balance of durability and versatility. The pads feature a thickened metal backing combined with a flexible rubber layer, delivering a stable grip and reliable heat resistance during extended sanding sessions. The 8-hole dust pattern supports efficient debris evacuation, helping keep your sanding surface clear and improving finish consistency. While they are built as replacement parts, they’re crafted to work smoothly with compatible machines and compatible brands, so you can approach projects with fewer interruptions and more confidence.

Key specifications guide compatibility and fit. The pads measure 5 inches in diameter and carry 8 dust holes plus a center hole with a diameter of 1 inch. Screw-hole spacing is 1-1/8 inches center-to-center, and the four screw holes align with specific machine footprints. Before purchasing, take a moment to confirm your sander size and hole pattern to ensure a snug fit. Keep in mind that screws are not included, so you’ll want to have suitable fasteners on hand when you’re ready to install.
