: An awesome addition to your hook and loop conversion system, this
: flex adapter has the capability to convert any disc sander into
: an extremely durable cushioned sander that will contour around
: any round over, chair leg, table edge or anything with shape and
: not leave flat spots. With the use of our hook and loop
: conversion discs, or an existing sander with a hook and loop
: system, you can make use of this remarkable product. Basically,
: it's a double density foam pad with hooks on one side and loops
: on the other. Works great on disc sanders for shaping and
: moulding wood for intarsia and other projects.

: Original Flex is approx. 1/2" thick.

: Always in Stock!

: The price on the webpage is listed in Canadian Dollars, but I'm not
: sure if they charge a different price for US dollars. The
: catalog I have from them is a year old, and it says prices are
: the same in either currency. You might want to call or e-mail
: them to get a current price before you order.

: According to the specs, this pad would be 1/8" thicker than
: the pad from lee Valley (1/2" thick as opposed to 3/8"
: thick.

: Hope this helps

Probably easier to find, 3M makes a polisher soft pad that's available for a great number of sanders. Might have to look on their website for a dealer. Also as I remember they makes soft contour pad for sanders too, not had a direct 3M account in a few years (like 15).
