Description
Overview:
The Compression Spring 233249-9 is a genuine Makita spare designed for corded belt sanders. Made from high-quality steel, it provides the controlled force needed to keep tensioning and tracking mechanisms operating smoothly. By maintaining the correct preload and return action, it helps the sander feed and track the belt accurately, reducing chatter and uneven wear. This OEM spring is built to the same specification as the factory-fitted part for reliable fit and function. Ideal for restoring performance on hard-worked machines, it suits trades and DIY users who rely on consistent results. Compatible with popular models such as the Makita 9404 and 9903, it is a practical, low-cost fix when the original spring has weakened, taken a set, or failed.
