This sander is an amazing value and time saver. I bought this sander to sand the furniture I build as a hobby. Instead of using my quarter sheet or random orbit sander I now use this. It’s a half sheet so it sands a huge area and in a sense floats out small imperfections in the work. It’s made by makita which makes decent products. Holding it is not fatiguing; vibrations are not jarring at all. Dust collection is incredible with a vacuum. I made my own puncture plate out of a piece of plywood and dowels to save ordering that.Buy it. If you look at Bosch it’s almost 400. And festool is up there too. This one is 160 and well made.

Works well. Quieter than I expected. Plastic clamps for the paper – would have preferred metal. Glad it’s not made in China!

Fantastic sander. First half sheet and it covers a lot of area fast. Quality is typical Makita, first class.

Overall rating is “good”.Tool runs “rough” at lowest speed setting of 1; not a major issue.Dust collection via paper bag seams less than efficient; recommend using hose attached to vacuum.Run limited test on a piece of oak hardwood, got excellent finish!

This sander was over kill for it’s first project. Needed to refinish two night stands that had a little water damage from someone leaving the window open when it was raining. The sander worked great. It’s quiet, fast, smooth, and the dust collector worked great, no mess ! Now on to a bigger project, my deck and it’s railings.

This is an awesome machine. I used a 5″ Festool orbital and a Bosch 5″ orbital to sand large pieces till I bought this. I hooked it up to my shop vac instead of using the included dust collector. I made my own sandpaper cutter with screws to poke into the sand paper.

Love the sander. But Home Depot does not extend their military discount to online purchases and since this was not available in store I had to purchase it online.

Replaced my ancient Skil sander with this Makita. I realize that half-sheet sanders are out of fashion now, but I like the size and weight that lets the sander do the work. Very quiet, easy to use.
