Best small sander & tough enough.
I bought one of these Makita sanders some years ago. I use it for finish work on the boat, and or various house projects, like the outdoor furniture. It does a wonderful job, is light weight, and easy to control. I have used it with paper from 80 grit (not often), 100, 180, and up. I blow it out once or twice a year, with the air gun, and have never had a problem with it. Using decent grades of paper, it leaves no swirl marks, and is always ready to go. If you need an easy to control, low cost and reliable palm sander I would suggest that you take a good look at this one. I have several other Makita tools, and have found them well worth the investment.

Great finishing sander
This finishing sander is a pleasure to use. I usually use a Dewalt 5″ random orbit sander for finishing the face of my work pieces as it is very “error proof”. However, I find a random orbit sander difficult to use on the edge of boards and in corners.The Makita sander fills in where my Dewalt is lacking. Don’t get me wrong the Makita is a wonderful finishing sander for the face of boards too but I am not a gifted woodworker and enjoy the forgiveness of the random orbit sander.The only problem I have had is the plastic frame for the dust bag. The frame broke as I was replacing the dust bag. I don’t know if it was cracked from the manufacturer or if I broke it. I am going to contact Makita and will let you know if their customer service is good or lacking.
