Description
Overview:
The Base for Makita BO4555 and BO4556 Palm Sanders is the rigid mounting platform that supports the sanding pad and paper, ensuring a flat, stable contact with the work surface. This genuine Makita part (MPN 450067-2) is built from tough, impact‐resistant materials to withstand continuous vibration and everyday site or workshop use. It restores the correct geometry of the sander and helps maintain smooth, consistent finishes by keeping the orbit true and reducing wobble. Designed specifically for the BO4555 and BO4556, it integrates neatly with the sander's existing fixings and pad system, whether you use clamped sheets or hook‐and‐loop abrasives (depending on model). A direct OEM replacement, it supports reliable performance and extends the service life of your palm sander.
