Hi Folks and a very happy new year!
I've bought a budget disc/belt sander as I'm just an occasional but very keen woodworker and make the odd knife. I was disappointed to find that the disc part of the machine uses self-adhesive 150mm sanding pads. I was rather hoping they'd be the velcro sort as I like to step up and down the grits during a project.
Is there a way of converting this which is easier than buying a sheet of hook velcro and cutting to size? I would also be concerned about this home-made velcro disc gradually becoming detached when I replace the pads.

I presume the question you are asking is can you buy a 150mm self adhesive velcro disc? Yes. Amazon, Ebay, Axminster etc or strips of velcro tape from Screwfix. You may have to pack the dust guard out slightly because of the thickness.
