Answered
The sander is old but works fine so I bought sand paper which is hook and loop. Unfortunately the sander takes sticky back paper which I couldn't find at Menards. Nor did they carry a conversion hook/loop adapter. Can I make my own sticky back peel off sand paper? Can I change my sander to accept hook/loop sandpaper? Can I buy 5 1/2 inch paper and use it on my smaller disc sander?

Williamon Jun 29, 2017I agree with Norris720. I have an old sander just like yours. Can't seem to part with it. I buy regular sheets of sandpaper cut my own discs and use double stick carpet tape to fasten them to the sander. Don't use the 5 1/2" discs. The 1/2" hangover will gouge and grab the wood causing the paper to tear. I KNOW! I do have have a 5 1/2 hook and loop sander but you can never have enough tools

Ian25001164on Jul 3, 2017Buy some hook and loop pads in a craft shop glue the hook part on the sander with super glue then you can get regular sanding pads much more secure than double sided tape hope this helps
