My only complaint is it is heavy. No big deal but it is a work out. Lil

As with most Makita corded power tools, this is a good heavy duty machinethat will probably last the rest of your life ( add it to your will). With the rightsanding belt it is able to remove an extraordinary amount of material. If yourprevious experience is only with vibrating sanders, be certain to practiceon some scrap before you attack the solid cherry table top you made.At 14 Lbs. its no lightweight and needs a strong hand to control it.The dust collector works quite well and the bag gets most of the messbut there is still a lot that escapes. Don’t try to use it in any place youdon’t plan on giving a through cleaning afterwards.

This sander is a beast, I’ve bought several sanders in the past its so worth the extra$$ Because of its weight I actually use less sand paper, I absolutely recommend

Awesome tool, powerful and does a great job stripping the paint from the deck. Rated 4 stars because a lot of dust is produced even with the dust bag attached.

Great sander, with lots of power. The only improvement would be a swivel on the dust bag

This sander makes my carpentry projects a lot easier and less time consuming. It’s exactly what I needed.

The sander weighs and handles as good as other sanders I have used. The belt tension lever and the belt tracking knob are very simple and easy to use. I have used this sander just a few hours, but I think I got my money’s worth.

I was replacing the belt sander that finally wore out. I am happy with this purchase.

I recently bought this sander knowing that Makita power tools have held up to heavy use where other brands have failed…a proven durable and reliable workhorse.
