Genuine Makita 162172-0 — replacement rectangular backing pad engineered for the Makita 9046 ½‑sheet orbital sander.

This original Makita pad measures 115 x 229 mm (pad size for the 9046), providing a flat, stable platen that restores even pressure across abrasive sheets for consistent sanding results.

Made as a rubber backing/platen designed to resist abrasion and heat from prolonged use, the 162172-0 stops a worn base from creating uneven finishes and helps reduce vibration during sanding.

Direct-fit design replaces the factory pad and uses the sander’s existing clamps/fixings for straightforward installation—ideal for trade or serious DIY use when you need to return your 9046 to factory performance.
