In Response To: Tools: ROS Pad (Patsy)

I just got them last week at Sears. It is actually a sanding block for flexible objects. A 2 pack is $6, with one medium and one fine pad. I kept the fine pad as is and modified the medium by glueing a velco sanding base (hook side) to it to accept my loop paper. Works great, but no dust collection. Good Luck

I remember reading comments about ROS attachments that allow better sanding
: on curved surfaces. Some kind of pad that you attach to the place you
: normally put the sandpaper and then you attach the sandpaper to it. I've
: looked in a few hardware stores but not had any success finding anything.

: Does anyone know what these things are called and where you can get them? I
: have a Makita ROS that takes 5 inch 8 hole hook and loop sandpaper.
