Overview
Sanding wood without leaving swirl marks is the purpose of this Makita, which uses a random orbit action on a hook and loop pad. A dust bag and one abrasive disc come with the tool.
Three speeds and a pad brake give control over removal rate and finish, and the electronic switch makes speed changes quick. The limitation is the bare tool format and a spec sheet with stray values, such as a weight and amperage that do not fit a sander.
Who it's for
Finishing work away from an outlet suits a cordless sander with variable speed. Those wanting a sander with battery, charger and case in the box should shop a kit instead.
Pros and cons
- Three speed settings
- One-touch speed control
- Pad brake for cleaner finish
- Dust bag included
- Battery and charger sold separately
- Some listed specs look wrong
- Run time depends on the pack used
Performance notes
Random orbit action moves the pad in overlapping paths, so scratches are spread out and swirls are less likely. Higher speeds remove material faster, and lower speeds suit finishing. The pad brake limits free spin when lifted, and a control system softens start-up, which protects the surface.
