A: The 3M block is designed to accept sandpaper, which is held by bending the ends of the paper around the ends of the block and clamping it in place. If the sanding pads you have can bend and if they will fit into the clamps, then they might work with this block.

A: Yes it can hold it but with the rigorous sanding motion the pad will slip off. The way that block works is that its a rubber block with slits at the top and bottom. The slits have grooves to hold the sandpaper sheet in place. Other pads will work in a pinch but it is ideal to get the right size so the pad doesn't slip
A: Yes, Mike
A: Standard paper 8 x 11 paper. tear them across the short side to get four equal pieces that fit your pad with no waste.
A: Yes the sandpaper is sold by Home Depot, I got mine just beside the area of the block. It is just a little oversized but fits the block well.
A: The block holds 1/4 sheet at a time. Simply purchase the standard full size sheets. Fold in half, tear or cut and in half again tear again. Results in 4 pieces slightly wider than the block and the correct length to fit under cleats.
A: You get full sized sheets of sandpaper and cut it in quarters. Cheaper that way. Fold the paper in 1/2 and cut it in half. Then do the same with the 1/2 sheets as well. Voila, you have paper for this block.
A: Hello. Thank you for asking. You are able to buy sandpaper sheets and cut down the sheet to fit the block appropriately. If you have any additional questions or concerns please connect with us directly at 1-800-494-3552 M-F 8am-5pm CT.
