Where to find Backing Pad?

[sturgisjr 14]

I have looked just about everywhere for a backing pad for the Makita Sander to use the defurring pads. I cannot find one anywhere except on one site...they charge $25 shipping for it! I have checked local lumber/hardware stores, Home Depot and Lowes. Sears has the Milwaukee sander/polisher and had the 7 inch backing pad included with the kit. Please direct me to where I can find one.

Thanks!

That $25 shipping is an estimate, the actual will be much less - you can call to confirm it.

Most places that sell the Makita (on-line) will also carry the backing pads.

Check out:

They have the backing pads and lock-nut.

They also have the Makita 9227CX3 Kit on sale for $169.95 (good price).
