Repairing a very old, New model Makita 9046 half sheet sander that not holding the paper.

Half sheet Makita sander have to be one if the most reliable tools on the market. They can run for decades before ever needing any repairs. But when they do need repaired, it's nearly always the paper clamps that need repaired. This 9045 makita sander is not holding the sandpaper in place. Problem is the alu base has worn away and needs replaced. At 50euro it's an expensive part, but considering the sander is 300 euro to buy and this has been running for 26 years, it's well worth repairing. #makitasander #sander #9045b #9046 #sanderrepair #makitarepair #oldtool #diy #tools #diyfix #powertools #repair #makita #deandoherty #deandohertygreaser #repairs #toolrepair #powertool #toolsrestoration #oldtoolrestoration
