How do i remove the base plate of an ozito sander

yes just go to ebay you my grt one there

Once you remove the 4 screws holding the pad on it will pry off with a screwdriver (use caution and work your way around - the bearing sits in a holder on the base and is just stuck)
Once you get that off, remover the pad feet and the housing should come apart

belts are available from any good tool shop or large hardware shop
belt lengths and widths are stamped on the back of the belt

Hi Kirk

Have you tried the Manufacturers site..

Doubt if any of our guys go that deep

Probably not. Most sanders these days are designed to use Velcro-backed or adhesive-backed sandpaper.

drum sander leaves chatter marks you must plate these out. belt sander is the best way to go, however it will take longer to just plate than to drum and plate. for light sanding i would start with a 60 grit on the drum, then 80, then 100. plate with 100 screen till chatter free, then final with 150 screen. this is if you intend to go to raw wood.

OK here is what I found at Hitachipowertools.com on your sander. If I am correct it should be a quarter sheet starting with the legs (if you need them) part number 322-756 qty 2, tapping screw 311-945 qty 2, base 322-759 qty 1 and screw 949--216 they show qty in pack of 10 so I would only order 1. Hope this helps and if you have trouble finding them let me know your location and I will try to find someone for you. Good luck

You need to remove the allen head cap screw in the center of the base, then remove the washer, and pull the base straight down off the sander. If you can't get it to pull off, try gently rocking it a little as you exert pressure to pull it off.

The belt cover that does down the front of the belt, below the table, should have an opening inside the baes/vacuum unit. Make sure this isn't clogged with buildup.
