Cork Plate Makita 423312-8, 10 mm thickness, replacement accessory

Cork Plate Makita 423312-8 is a 10 mm thick replacement accessory designed for compatible Makita sanding and polishing tools. The resilient cork surface provides cushioning between the tool and sanding or polishing pads, helping to improve contact with irregular surfaces and reduce transmitted vibration. Intended for tasks such as surface preparation, refinishing and maintenance, the plate supports consistent pad performance and can extend the usable life of abrasive and polishing consumables.

Advantages

The 10 mm cork construction offers a balance of firmness and elasticity that adapts to minor surface contours while maintaining pad stability. Cork material dampens vibration, which can lead to more even sanding or polishing results and reduced operator fatigue. The plate is a straightforward replacement accessory that restores proper backing thickness and helps ensure uniform pad wear.

Suitable for

• Sanding and polishing wood surfaces
• Automotive or metal polishing tasks where cushioning improves finish quality
• Surface preparation before painting or finishing
• Maintenance and refinishing of furniture and cabinetry

Key specifications

• Material: natural cork
• Thickness: 10 mm
• Function: backing/support plate for sanding and polishing pads
• Compatibility: designed for use with compatible Makita sanding and polishing tools
• Physical property: resilient, cushioning surface to reduce vibration and improve pad contact

How to use

Remove the worn or damaged backing plate from the power tool according to the tool manufacturer's instructions and install the cork plate in the same orientation. Ensure the plate is firmly seated and secured before fitting a sanding or polishing pad. Use appropriate pad type and grit for the material and task, and operate the tool at recommended speeds. Inspect the cork plate periodically for wear or compression and replace it when cushioning performance deteriorates.

Usage recommendations

For best results, pair the cork plate with pads suitable for the specific surface and task; avoid excessive pressure during operation to prevent premature compression of the cork. Store spare plates flat in a dry environment to preserve material properties.
