Description
Overview:
The Bottom Mount Cork Plate is a genuine Makita replacement part for selected belt sanders, including the 9401 and 9402. Made from dense, durable cork, it provides a stable, cushioning backing between the sander's base and the abrasive belt, helping the machine run smoothly and produce an even finish. Supplied to the original specification (OEM No. 424058-9), it is sized at 173mm x 111mm for a precise fit. Replacing a worn cork plate restores proper support, reduces vibration, and helps protect the sander's base components.
