My older Makita finishing sander model BO45509 uses 1/4 sheets
held in place by clips that snap down tight onto the paper. I'd like to convert and use the velcro type sandpaper. Has anyone seen a "conversion kit"? Thanks

At one time there was a method of using the glue backed sandpaper that comes on rolls to adhere to the knit surface of a palm sander.

I can't look into it until Monday.

a round 6 or 7 inch should work - cut to size.
