The 18-Volt LXT Lithium-Ion Cordless 5 in. Random Orbit Sander (model XOB01Z, tool only) delivers increased efficiency and mobility to woodworkers. The XOB01Z features 3-speed settings, superior ergonomics and up to 40 minutes of run time on a single charge (battery sold separately). 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 XOB01Z uses quick-change 5 in. (8-hole) hook-and-loop abrasive paper for increased versatility. It’s part of Makita’s expanding 18-Volt Lithium-Ion series, the world’s largest cordless tool line-up powered by an 18-Volt Lithium-Ion slide-style battery. Makita 18-Volt Lithium-Ion batteries have the fastest charge times in their categories, so they spend more time working and less time sitting on the charger. 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.

I used it for the first time on a door and it made my work look better and easyer and performance was great.

Worked well. Be aware that you have to have larger batteries for this to work. I got it home and my drill and drive batteries wouldn’t work, which prompted a second trip to HD for the right size.

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.

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!!!

This tool performs as well as my corded routers without the hassle of the cord. Power is good. I was concerned about the weight of the battery on top, but the balance is fine too. Battery lasts through several operations including rounding over tops, cutting dados and even plunge routing mortises
