“This is an exceptional orbital sander. I use it to achieve a perfectly smooth, scratch free centre to my turned platters and it does not disappoint. Highly recommended.”

“Only used for one job so far (‘flatting’ old paint on two large windowsills prior to repainting). This was about 1 ½ hours of work and the sander performed admirably, using a 120 grit sheet. The result was very smooth and the machine was easy to use: little vibration and well-balanced. The sander appears to be well-made and definitely Makita trade quality - manufactured in USA which is unusual in my experience. The only slight drawback is the relatively short cable but an extension lead can easily resolve that. Although Powertool World don’t sell them, it’s worth buying some pad savers to take the brunt of the shearing force on the ’hook-and-loop’ sanding pad fixing. They are cheap and disposable compared with the circa £20 cost of a new pad of you wear that out.”

“This is great for sanding large areas. I often need to remove paint or varnish and will be using a sander for many hours a day for some jobs, the sander is very ergonomic, especially with the front grip and doesn't vibrate too much while doing the job. I appreciate the ability to change speed. This is the perfect tool for my job as a painter decorator.”
