SFWIW, other people have had problems trying to use paper other than Fien
with their H&L pad.

I am using the first piece of coarse sand paper that came with it.


There are some rather high forces due to the sander action taking place at
the H&L interface.

Think I would run your idea past Fein tech support for their input before
trying anything.

If they don't want the old sanding pad back there is nothing to loose by
sanding off the remaining hooks.
