Well, imagine: A TH-cam how-to that gets to the point, demonstrates what needs to be done, and includes a concise narration without either overbearing background music or distracting noises to drown it out. Very good video. I know 100% more about the topic than I knew coming in.
Thanks mate. I just pulled my grandmother's table out of my parents basement and I want to sand it down and paint it. My dad let me borrow his sander but the pad needs to be replaced. Appreciate you taking the time to put this together.
Great video clear explanations and outline, sad part for me is that the three screws gone bad cannot access because the heads already worn out.... any advice would kindly appreciate it... thanks
Thanks for the video! This just happened to my Dewalt Sander I’ve used rehabbing properties for 10 years! I ordered the part on Amazon. It cost me $15 after tax. It will arrive in the next couple of days. Again… much thanks!
My pad and break assemble came loose while I was sanding, and I lost one of the three screws holding the pad in place. Found them at Lowe's....Stainless Steel, Pan Phillips Machine Screws, 8-32 x 3/4. Worked perfect! Couldn't find these anywhere on the web and Dewalt doesn't offer them as well.
My belt snapped, and when removing the pad, the metal shield is mostly torn off. Can I just remove the metal shield completely? What is the purpose of the metal plate attached to the pad? Sanding discs still hold to the pad just fine, and there is no information online about the purpose of the thin metal shield attached to the pad. Thanks
Good, but not good enough. Next time, after removing the plate, take some time to clean the tool, with a brush and compressed air, and perhaps a clean damp cloth.
I noticed that when you removed the sanding pad and screws there are no washers, in the Dewalt parts schematic it shows washers, is this something that is not needed?
Thanks for sharing. I found it is a wasteful if we throw away the whole rubber base of the backing pad. why dont the manufacturers just sell the gripping material so we can glue it on the rubber base.
I have a Porter Cable that I think has the same dimensions on the pad. My issue is with the pad deteriorating to the point that it became detached from the metal backing plate. Sandpaper was still stuck to the pad. I suspect that by the time the Velcro wears out, the rubber (foam) pad is probably not so good any more as well.
My same DeWalt Sander doesn’t show any access screw holes to take the old worn out H&L Head off and this is the one that it came with when new. Any ideas?
I put my sander away for six months and it had been sticking perfectly, but when I came to re-use it the paper wouldn't stick at all. It was the same paper I left on it. It seemed just lying in a box for 6 months destroyed the hook or loops. I'd love if someone could explain more detail of what happens besides wearing out. This sander was stored perfectly. Maybe they have a sell by date!!!
I did this and within five minutes, the sander started to make a loud noise and two of the screws shot out and were stripped. I ordered new screws and the same thing happened. It’s been very frustrating. I tried using super glue the third time but I think they were stripped already.
That's my problem. I got screws at Ace Hardware, worked for about 25-30 minutes, then screws stripped out of the replacement pad. (The orginal pad came off long ago and just got around to replacing it.) Don't know if I have to just buy a new sander. MOtor is still GREAT!
@@robertrodriguez2642 the OEM replacement part is around $16-$20 bucks. Gas to get to the post office $10-15? postage to send the sander to DeWalt $15? 4-6 weeks waiting for your old sander. **OR** a brand new toy (wait.. I mean sander) 50-60 bucks no waiting involved. If it were me, if I didn't want to d.i.y. the repair I wouldn't bother sending the machine to DeWalt. Just purchase it new! Additionally check, Craigslist, Letgo, OfferUp, eBay, etc.. you could find them for cheap. ✌🏻

I really hope you still making these Briant videos, so I never could figure up how do that. You is a genius!!!!!
The "T-20 Star bit" made this 3 minutes worthwhile. Thanks.
Right?! I said "I have one of those!" and proceeded to NOT strip the screws using other things!

thanks for sharing your video. it was very helpful. Easy for us ladies who love tools, but don't know how they need to be maintained.

super helpful. saved my getting a whole new orbital sander. many thanks
I am having trouble getting the new pad on my Dewalt the holes all line up but I can't get them to screw in. What the hell could I be doping wrong?
Ty for t-20 starbit info :) just what I needed
Yeah... using the sander without sandpaper will wear down the disc pad real quick..... Great video. To the point.
Thanks.
I'm happy that I found this video. I got disgusted with this situation and threw away a sander that could have been salvaged.
Almost happen to me too lol

Can I add a 6inch pad to this?

No washers needed. It is just as it shows in the video
Thank you this was super helpful!

Van Hung , Gator Power makes one.

So easy. I'm feeling more confident in these repairs, thanks!
2:02 where can I get that kind of ring
Very helpful video.. May God bless you/happy new year...
where do you find the white ringÉ
WHAT IS THE SCREW SIZE TO MOUNT THE PAD I HAVE MISPLACED THE SCREWS I TOOK OUT AND INSTRUCTION MANUAL GIVES NO DESCRIPTION
I'm going to replace mine a little later today.. If by chance you still need to know, I'll tell you later
Anybody have this answer??
Great video, well done and hey, nice sandpaper :)
I can’t use regular sand paper ?
I can not remove the screw from the plate, it does not stop spinning, how do I remove it? ETS 150 twin eccentric sander
Thank you so much for this video
My same DeWalt Sander doesn’t show any access screw holes to take the old worn out H&L Head off and this is the one that it came with when new. Any ideas?
Wrong hole 🤣
Straight to the point!
Thanks! Just what I needed!
Thanks for sharing that!
What is the screw size??
Can I used this to remove wall.paint
No puedo quitar el tornillo del plato, no para de dar vueltas, como lo quito? ETS 150 twin lijadora excéntrica.
I bought this same(VELCRO?) pad and the sandpaper DOES NOT STICK(keeps coming off)!
Mine don't have three holes!!! Can't remover the pad.😢
Straight to the chase !
I price this part for a Porter cable. They wanted 30$ plus shipping! the new sander is 44$ .
THANK YOU for the video
What do you think is wrong with it when applying pressure during use it slows down and stops. Once you pull it off the wood it starts back up again.
I replaced my Dewalt pad with the exact part, and the paper comes off right away wtf?

u will either need to tap the whole to the next size or see if u can replace them... if not sander is no good.. maybe for parts.
Pam Hoven , maybe I should take mine to the authorized service center?
