Makita BO5021KX1 2 Amp 5-Inch Variable Random Orbit Sander with Cloth Dust Bag and 15 Abrasive Discs

This model has variable speeds (4,000 12,000 opm) for sanding and polishing applications. With its 2-handed design for controlled operation, it is powerful yet lightweight (3.1 pounds). The large trigger switch and lock-on button ensure ease of operation and the fast random-orbit action takes care of aggressive sanding in a hurry. This machine is all ball bearing construction for reduced vibration and noise. Its effective through-the-pad dust collection system keeps the grit out of your way, and the pad control system keeps the sanding pad at a predictable speed during start-ups. This sander uses 5-inch hook-and-loop abrasive discs and comes with a FREE bonus pack of 15 quick-changing hook & loop abrasive discs. Includes convenient carry case and dust bag.
Customer Review: good sander
The makita is easy to use and works well. It isn't for big jobs - it seems to be better for small to medium projects. All and all I was happy with it and would buy it again.
Customer Review: Great sander
I've been using this sander fairly heavily for over a year now. It's held up well and I've always been satisfied with its perfomance. The variable speed control is handy, at high speed it cuts quickly, at the lowest it can be pretty gentle. Over time the sanding pad has worn out, but was easy to replace. I think it might be a little louder now then it was new. As for the vibrations, it doesn't numb my hands nearly as much as some sanders I've used.
