The 18-Volt LXT Lithium-Ion Cordless 5 in. Random Orbit Sander (model XOB01T) delivers increased efficiency and mobility to woodworkers. The XOB01T features 3 speed settings, superior ergonomics and up to 40-minutes of run time on a single charge. Match the speed to the application with 3 speed settings (7,000/9,500/11,000 OPM), which are easily changed with a 1-touch electronic control switch. The large 1/8 in. random orbit action is engineered for efficient sanding, fast material removal, and a swirl-free finish. The pad brake reduces free-spin for improved overall finish, and a control system regulates pad speed at start-up. The XOB01T uses quick-change 5 in. (8-hole) hook-and-loop abrasive paper for increased versatility. For improved tool performance and extended battery life, Makita created Star Protection Computer Controls. Star Protection is communication technology that allows the Star Protection-equipped tool and battery to exchange data in real time and monitor conditions during use to protect against overloading, over-discharging and overheating. For increased versatility, the tool can also be powered by Makita 18-Volt LXT and Compact Lithium-Ion batteries with the star symbol on the battery indicating Star Protection inside.

easy to hold on to fast cutting

Nicely balanced but a little on the heavy side with a 3 amp hour battery attached. Haven’t used it extensively but have been satisfied so far. Typical excellent quality Makita product..

I use the Makita platform due to in my opinion the best batteries out there, this is a great sander, I used it with the 5.0a and got to prepare my steel handrail which was well away from power or air, this little sander was exceptional!!!

Carmela Zboncak (verified owner) –
The sander was really easy to assemble and use.

Overall this is a great sander. The variable settings are nice. However this is a power hog and you will burn though batteries like crazy using it! Minus one star for poor battery efficiency.

Works great, comfortable in your hand when using.

Great tool… same as all the Makita’s I own. I didn’t time it on the clock, but it lasts longer than I expected.

Chauncey Raynor (verified owner) –
The sander is great. I have already used it on 2 projects and it has performed better than advertised. The two 5.0 batteries make this a great deal!!!
Rashawn Harvey (verified owner) –
I was surprised as how easy this was to handle and how much dust actually went into the bag. Great little sander!
Mara Mohr (verified owner) –
Great sander!! Battery life is good.
Enos Daniel (verified owner) –
Happy with it! Works great for small around the house projects. Only issue which isn’t related to the tool is my 2.0 battery does not last long. I need to upgrade to a 5.0 battery.
