Hopefully someone can tell me if the shaft end is drilled and tapped (diameter & TPI).I want to mount a 5/16"x 24 TPI Sanding Disk directly into it?

I do not believe that the shaft is drilled or tapped. I think I would have noticed it if it was.

Measure the length of the mounting holes to see if they will line up, If hey do then measure the shaft size so you get the right one, It should work fine.

Based on my measurements, the drill bit is 31/64 and the tap is a 14.03 mm X 1.5. The inserts has a 14 mm OD. Hope this helps.

I ordered one and found the shaft 1/8 " to 1/4' to long, hence it would not fit correctly in the housing. I returned the item.

I'm sorry but I do not have these details yet. I purchased for Hobby use and I have pulled it from the box but it has been sitting in my shop and I have not yet bolted it down and used. I need to make height alterations to my drill press to use it, which I hope to do this month. I can get back to you.

Sadly, no. I never even noticed. Thankfully the base is easy to drill and tap. The threads are m8x1.25.

Yes, but understand that since the disk will overhang the backing plate, it gets a bit more dangerous to use. It also may or may not fit in the guard. I've used oversized disks quite a few times for detail work in corners, but you have to be extremely aware of the fact that if you grind with the 'leading' edge (the left side while you're looking down at the grinder while grinding) the exposed disk can catch, tear and kick back. In addition to being very surprising, and possibly whacking some portion of your anatomy with a spinning (and now serrated) disk, but the backing disk retaining nut will be real bear to get off afterward. Done it many times. Understand that this is also a potential problem with even 4.5" sanding disks, it just seems to happen less often with the right backing plate. But if you're sanding mostly flat stuff, and try to stick to using the 'trailing' edge of the wheel, you should have no problems.

The drill bit doesn't have the size labeled on it. I used a caliper to measure it and it is 0.245" or converted to mm 6.223mm

Good Day Sir,I did some measurements for you and hope that these are what you were looking for to be able to determine if it will work for your sander.1-1/4" from screw hole to screw hole1-5/8" cross screws7/8" from center pad to screw hole

It takes 5 inch 8 hole sanding disks. The pad they attach to is kind of a soft pad with velcro. When I first received the sander it had a faulty pad and would only sand on the very outer edge leaving circles in the wood. I contacted Bosch and they sent me a new one. It works great now.

Good question. The disk will fit your pad but you will find you will run off the outer 1/2" of your hook and loop on your pad. It will leave blemished on the sanded surface where the hook and loop touch. Best solution is to use your left over disks for hand work. They are much better than sand paper. I replaced my 1998 Bosch 6" sander just recently after 18 years of hard service. I run mine in my cabinet shop for days and weeks on end.

Yes it will. Its a very easy process. Follow the instructions. Just make sure that your shaft is not pitted

Not a bolt exactly it is a threaded permanent shaft from the top of the caster. Mine came with nuts. I don't know the TPI off hand. Appears to be a 1/2" NC though.

Sorry no, the one you need is mounted with two screws, also has a different hub, Makita part number 196905-1 if Amazon doesn't get stock of these (I see they are out) try ereplacementparts.com it's listed for over 40$. If that's the case, you may want to buy a replacement sander. Amazon has the entire Makita line at great prices. I love shopping Amazon.

There is a threaded hole. I use a Skil buffer so not sure of the size match up

All of the replys below answer the question. I think any bit with the notch in the shaft will work. There is probobly a manufacturing standard.
