Milwaukee Base Plate Service Kit
Model Number: 44-66-0173
The Milwaukee 44-66-0173 is a genuine OEM Base Plate Service Kit for the Milwaukee M18 Orbital 1/4 Sheet Sander 2649-20. The base plate — also called the sanding pad — is the flat rubber-faced plate that the quarter-sheet sandpaper attaches to via the two-step clamp system and that transmits the 2649-20's 1.6 mm orbital motion directly to the workpiece surface. The base plate must remain flat and correctly balanced for smooth, low-vibration sanding at up to 13,000 OPM — any warping, hard spots, or delamination in the pad surface introduces uneven pressure across the sandpaper and degrades surface finish quality. Providing the base plate as a service kit ensures all associated mounting and clamping hardware is available for a complete replacement. A worn, hardened, warped, or damaged base plate that causes uneven sanding or increased vibration requires service with this kit to restore flat, consistent pad contact and finish quality on the 2649-20.
Using a genuine Milwaukee OEM base plate service kit ensures the correct pad geometry and clamp interface for the M18 Orbital 1/4 Sheet Sander 2649-20. Always verify your catalog number before ordering to confirm this is the correct kit for your specific unit.
