Can you use self adhesive sandpaper with this model?

Yes, but every time you peel it off, it will remove some of the pad with it.
373185
Yes you can. Just be careful when you sand around the edges of the paper. It's a rubber pad so the paper will stick and peal with no problem.

I wouldn't recommend it, the sheet will be very difficult to pull off after you sand with it and heat it up. The adhesive will stick and most likely tear the sanding pad on the sander.

Hello, I dont have this particular brand, but Im thinking in buying one, I bought the adhesive sandpaper and had that problem of being diffucult to get it out, but I had this idea to put some BABY POWDER before putting it to the sander , it works great.

No, I don't think so. You use standard 1/4 sheets that clip onto the unit very easily.

Hook and loop is like Velcro, which the sandpaper disc fastens itself to on the sanding pad. I would imagine that you have that kind of pad on your sander. Hope this helps.

Yes .you just got to make sure there is no oil , where you going to glue it and you got to send it with a sandpaper the area you going to glue

maybe but i would go for the round orbital sander, the one for velcro discs. few dollars and a huge diference. sheet sanders are going obsolete and soon to be extinted, they also leave "curls" on the sanded surface.

this is a grinder...not a sander that accepts adhesive or velcro. It can sand with sanding discs, but you need to learn more about grinders. Do your homework online!!

No. You can leave the hook and loop pad on and use the regular sandpaper. I would recommend purchasing a punch plate to be able to use your shopvac with the regular sandpaper.

If you have the auto stick sanding disc that are not adhesive. The hook and loop is what you need. The sanding disc are fluffy on the back and will stick to the pad.

I did not, but I'm sure you can. Just be sure you go all the way through cleanly if you aren't going to be taking off the paper covering the adhesive. They are not all that thick, so it should be doable.

If you are looking for sandpaper for this sander, I would suggest Lowe's or Ace Hardware

Yes, all you will need is a drill to attach the buffer to and a bucket of water to keep the sand paper wet. This video will help make sure you do it right. http://youtu.be/h2jhqGLASsw

I would actually use self-fusing rubber tape like this http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001CGVEXS/

Personally, I wouldn't use either of those products with this sander. I would recommend using some 1/4 sheet sandpaper such as "PORTER-CABLE 762800815 1/4 Sheet 80 Grit Adhesive-Backed Sanding Sheets (15-Pack)" or a full sheet and cut it into 4 equal pieces.

There is a rubber sanding drum attachment which is about ½-inch diameter on which you mount various grits of sandpaper. I guess you could smooth plastic with that. Both inside and outside curves, but will have to watch not to get the material too hot or it will melt and imbed in the sandpaper grit.

No I don't think I'd try wet sanding. Be like using a toaster in the bath tub

Yes. I smoothed it with both sand paper and a file before painting it. It worked easily, very much like wood.

I don't know. The one I bought worked perfectly and I had no issues with the sanding screen. Even my contractor was sold on the item.
