Overview
A DIYer who wants a compact finishing sander gets a corded random orbit model from Makita, boxed with a dust bag, a bag nozzle and a plastic tool case. The sanding pad is a round five inch disc driven by a corded electric motor.
Everything needed to start sanding and to carry the tool is in the kit, which is the reason to consider this version over the bare model. The limitation is thin detail: no orbit diameter, speed control or paper attachment style is stated.
Who it's for
People refinishing furniture, trim or small projects will find a round pad with a case convenient to store. A buyer wanting battery power, or a larger pad for big flat surfaces, should look elsewhere.
Pros and cons
- Dust bag and nozzle included
- Plastic tool case included
- Light enough for one-hand control
- Random orbit action
- Orbit diameter not listed
- No speed control listed
Performance notes
A random orbit sander moves the round pad in a spinning and oscillating path, which leaves fewer swirl marks than a plain spinning disc. Finish quality then depends on grit choice and how evenly the user lets the pad rest. Dust collection into the bag depends on the nozzle fitting correctly.
