When I received the backing pad, it was immediately apparent that this was a lightweight pad (didn't want to call it cheap). My OEM Makita was much heavier and made of hard rubber and not thin plastic. Time will only tell on this product. Bosch MG0450 4-1/2-Inch Sander Backing Pad with Lock Nut
There are so many reasons to "Beware" if you are thinking about buying this backing pad. My first warning is to not buy this at all. It is cheap and did not last even 10 minutes. It is too thin and too rigid, so the edges ware away instantly. The next warning is if you do buy it, definitely follow the instructions stamped directly on it... "Wear eye, face and body protection." You will need the protection because of all the pieces of plastic flying off the disk as it comes apart.'
