Review: This is a great sander - Can’t believe how good this sander is. Bought as we have a large solid wood outdoor table that has suffered in our Scottish weather and also have a lot of woodwork to rub down indoors. It’s a bit of an investment, but so worth it for the quality of the finish and the reduction in time spent. I used a tradition orbital sander in the past, which took ages and gave mediocre results. This Makita sander has made all the difference. Got it back to bare wood really quick and the finish is just amazing. If you can, get the Klingspor sanding discs- saw a review that recommended them and it wasn’t wrong. They adhere really well and I only used 2 corse and one fine to finish. The dust catcher actually works really well and collects about 95% of the dust and there was plenty of it. It’s also a really good fit and doesn’t fall off. Highly recommend this excellent bit of kit.
Review: I find Makita tools to be of good quality and more importantly I've never struggled getting parts - I bought this to sand down various things around the house. I find Makita tools to be of good quality and more importantly I've never struggled getting parts. Nothing more frustrating than throwing an old tool out because a manufacturer doesn't stock any parts! This is a relatively large unit for a random orbit sander so if you are planning on using it in tight spaces I'd look elsewhere. With that said, for my applications it has been perfect. You can use the weight of the sander itself to do the work rather than having to press down on the machine to get it to work like some lighter ones I have used. It's comfortable enough to use one handed for me (although I do have large hands) and it has enough power that I'm finding my belt sander doesn't come out so often now. The dust bag (not the plastic box pictured) seems to be fairly flimsy but I attach it to my shop vac in normal use. The bag does seem to collect dust but not nearly as efficiently as the shop vac (to be expected) and is messy to empty. In terms of vibration I don't find it to be an issue. I've got a cheap single speed detail sander for getting into corners that is very unpleasant to use for any length of time due to the vibration but I spent a good few hours sanding on four consecutive days with this and had no aches and pains afterwards. It is noisy like any sander so ear protection is a must and I always work with a dust mask when sanding. The finish I get on surfaces is excellent (using decent sanding pads helps). The speed control helps when sanding more delicate surfaces and using the higher grits I've got a great finish on some good quality patio furniture in particular. Overall a solid product, I wouldn't hesitate to buy this again!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Why should I buy this rather than 3 time cheaper sander black and orange one??**
A: The black and orange one may be great- I don't know. I do know that I used and abused this sander for the best part of a year, sanding multiple laters of paint and glue off the stairs (treads and risers) and landings in my 3 storey 1910 semi, and it never let me down. And I'm not at all an experienced wood worker. All I can say is the motor has the heart of a lion, and with all that power its small enough to access quite small spaces. I used strips of elastoplast to make the seal on the dust bag more effective - the only shortcoming I discovered - but they all seem to have that problem.

**Q: Which country is this product manufactured in please? Does it actually state anywhere on the product or packaging. Thanks**
A: USA - according to Google.

**Q: Does it really maintain constant speed under high load? (If pressing it hard against the surface it needs sanding.)**
A: Depends on what you mean by high load.  Have used it loads of times for hours on end and the performance never drops.  It's a Makita.  If you are sanding walls to remove paint or level filler, sanding wood it's a great piece of kit.  I haven't used it to remove 10 coats of industrial paint that has been there for 20 years on a battleship.

**Q: Is this suitable for floor sanding?**
A: This is a small sander.  More likely to be used for sanding down walls that have had some filling of cracks and drilled holes.  Might be ok for a small study or bedroom floor but not big enough for a standard sized room.  Its a great sander but not the tool for a room floor.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Terrific sander
*by A***F on 2 July 2021*

Used to sand-down a table and two benches that are made from rough-hewn sleepers. Did an excellent job, very quickly. Comfortable, easy to handle (with a useful secondary swivel handle) and a good long lead, too. The adjustable speed control is a boon; the trigger lock is effective and vibration, when in use, is low. The discs seem long-lasting as the I used is still in great condition. The dust collection box works very well indeed (I specifically targeted this model after reading many reviews, across different websites, all of which highlighted the collection box as one of the few that was actually effective). Happy to recommend.
