I have had really good luck with using a old rubber mouse pad and gluing it on with 3M trim adhesive. I get the adhesive that I think is yellow. What I do is to clean off all of the old pad then glue the mouse pad down with the adhesive. I then trim the edges after it dries. I have saved a few like that. If the glue is left to set it really sticks. |

I realize that yours is a Makita, but when I needed a new pad for my Milwaukee ROS I just stopped by the Milwaukee repair store and they sold me one for $6, which was much cheaper than online and paying shipping. Perhaps there is a Makita shop near you? -- "hold fast to that which is good" |
