This OKODOKO 5-inch replacement backing pad is designed for users of DeWalt orbital sanders seeking a durable and effective part to restore their sander's performance. Its primary benefit is the high-quality hook and loop material for secure disc attachment and efficient dust extraction.

FAQs
Is this backing pad compatible with all orbital sanders?
No, this backing pad is specifically designed for select DeWalt orbital sander models: DW421, DW423, D26453, and D26451. Please verify your sander's model number before purchasing.
How do I attach sandpaper to this pad?
Simply align the sandpaper disc with the hook and loop surface of the backing pad and press firmly. The hook and loop material will securely hold the disc in place.
What is the diameter of this backing pad?
This is a 5-inch diameter replacement backing pad.
How many dust extraction holes does it have?
The pad features eight dust extraction holes designed to work with your sander's dust collection system.
Can I use this pad if my sander's original pad has a different number of holes?
The pad has three attachment holes. Compatibility is based on the sander model, not solely the number of holes on the original pad, as long as it matches the specified DeWalt models.
How often should I replace the backing pad?
The backing pad should be replaced when the hook and loop material becomes worn, loses its grip, or if the pad itself becomes damaged or warped. Regular cleaning can extend its lifespan.
Troubleshooting
Sandpaper disc not sticking securely
Ensure the hook and loop surface of the backing pad is clean and free of dust and debris. Check if the sandpaper disc is also clean and in good condition.
Excessive dust in the work area
Confirm that the backing pad's dust extraction holes are clear and not clogged. Ensure your vacuum system is properly connected and functioning.
Pad does not fit the sander
Verify that you have one of the compatible DeWalt sander models listed. Ensure you are aligning the pad correctly with the three attachment holes.
Sander vibrates excessively after replacement
Check that the backing pad is securely fastened to the sander base with all screws tightened properly. Ensure the sandpaper disc is centered and attached evenly.
