I can’t complain at all because this machine is very good for wood- work and it is an excellent tool to keep at all times in the Marine and carpentry field.

I don’t use the sander in the traditional way! I put heavy bubble wrap instead of sandpaper on the sander and use the “sander” to attach wool Prefelt designs to fragile silk. I hold the Sander in place for 10 seconds, then move it and continue over the project. I use speed 1 or 2 for the process.

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

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.

This sander has the perfect blend of power, weight, and balance to accomplish every task presented. I was skeptical of the dust bag at first, however it did surprise me as it captures a good portion of the dust. I hook up to a vac when I want perfection in this department. The sander is fairly priced for a quality unit. I am very satisfied.

A big sander that work quickly. Very resistant pad… Like it.

Sander is powerful. Unit should come in its own case – both for storage and for storing sandpaper. Also, sander should come with a punch-pad that matches the hole pattern. The pennies this would cost Makita is insignificant compared to the selling price.

Works great for my cutting boards. Less tiring to use than my 6 inch ROS.

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 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.

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.
