Full details
The Bosch EXPERT Multihole Sanding Pad (2608001116) is a high-performance replacement pad designed for professionals and serious hobbyists using the Bosch GEX 18V-150-3 random orbital sander. Its primary benefit is the specialized multi-hole pattern that enables superior dust extraction, keeping your workspace cleaner and extending the longevity of your sanding sheets. Please note that this is a hard-density pad specifically engineered for compatibility with select Bosch 150mm orbital sanders, so it may not fit or perform optimally on sanders from other manufacturers.

FAQs
Can I use this pad on other brand sanders?
This pad is specifically engineered for Bosch GEX 18V-150-3 and EXEX18V-150-5 models. Using it on non-compatible tools may lead to poor performance or damage to the sander.
What does 'hard density' mean for my sanding?
Hard density refers to the firmness of the foam backing. It is best for heavy material removal and flat surface finishing, as it provides a stable base that resists bending.
How often should I replace the sanding pad?
You should replace the pad when the hook-and-loop material no longer holds discs securely, or if the mounting points become damaged.
Does this pad come with new mounting screws?
Typically, you should reuse the existing mounting screws from your original pad, unless they are damaged or stripped.
Is this pad compatible with standard 6-hole sanding discs?
While it may attach, you will achieve the best dust extraction results by using multi-hole sanding sheets designed for the Particle Control system.
Troubleshooting
Sanding disc does not stick to the pad
Check the condition of the hook-and-loop material on the pad. If the hooks are worn down or clogged with debris, they will lose adhesion and must be cleaned or replaced.
Excessive vibration during use
Verify that the pad is centered correctly and that the mounting screws are tightened to the correct specification. Ensure the sanding sheet is also centered perfectly.
Poor dust collection performance
Ensure that the holes in your sanding sheet are aligned with the holes in the pad. If they are misaligned, dust will accumulate under the disc.
Pros and Cons

- Provides a firm surface for heavy-duty material removal
- Easy and quick installation process

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install the pad, ensure the sander is unplugged or the battery is removed. Remove the existing sanding pad by unscrewing the central mounting screws, then align the new EXPERT Multihole Pad with the spindle ports. Tighten the screws firmly but avoid overtightening to prevent stripping the threads.
Compatibility: This product is specifically designed for the Bosch GEX 18V-150-3 and EXEX18V-150-5 sanders. It is not recommended for use with other brands or older sander models unless explicitly stated by the manufacturer.
Care Instructions:
- Regularly inspect the velcro hooks on the bottom of the pad for wear.
- Blow out the dust extraction holes with compressed air after every project.
- Do not use abrasive solvents when cleaning the plastic housing of the pad.
