5.0 out of 5 stars Nice little sander, January 10, 2006

Several of the reviews critical of this sander seem to be from people who don't know how to use it properly: there's a screw on the side to adjust the path of the belt, and if you turn it you can move the belt so that it'll cut into the plastic (if you want to ruin the sander ;-) or extend out even beyond the base (for sub-zero clearance/flush sanding). You usually have to adjust this when you change belts because they're not all exactly the same size, and sometimes after using one for awhile because they stretch.

I've had this sander for years and it's always done what I need, yes, even including cleaning up the leftovers after using a drum sander on hardwood (oak) floors. It's small, light, easy to handle, reliable, durable, and while it isn't the most powerful sander I've ever used, for the price I say you can't beat it.

I cant remember when i got such a great tool for the money. it's worth its weight in gold . there is not one single bad thing i can say about it . It tracks perfect, And doesnt ever really get hot . The first day I had it it ran all day on dug fir removing saw marks My helper stopped before it did . great tool

I really have no complaints whatever about this unit. I've used it regularly for over a year, dropped it, abused it, etc., and it has never given me any trouble. The power is quite sufficient for a unit of this size. Belt doesn't wander, it's light enough to use as a shaping tool, it lies flat if you turn it upside-down, the lock is good, the dust collection bag works well, belt changing is fast, and you can sand up to a wall or edge. Nice job, Makita. I only wish it had come with a case like my other Makita tools did.
