Flat Door Panels & Glueups:

I finally replaced my Craftsman 4x24 which self-destructed after 25 years of faithful service. I am asking myself why I waited. The Makita has as much power, is smoother and more predictable. I use it to smooth out glueup panels for cabinet doors. Belt tracking and running smoothly are very important factors for a flat door panel. This machine tracks smoothly with the grain, across the grain and at an angle to the grain. It is controllable one-handed. Dust collection is superior to the Craftsman and other... more info

A Winner:

I'm a hobbyist woodworker who makes furniture from solid hardwood, mostly black ash, oak, and maple. This involves gluing up a lot of panels of varying sizes, all of which need to be sanded. This sander was purchased to replace a 4X2l Craftsman which didn't collect a scintilla of dust and was a real "screamer". This tool is a comparative joy to use. It's surprisingly quiet, has wonderful dust collection, great balance and lots of power. Tracking is flawless, and its weight adds to the ease of sanding... more info

Powerful , heavyweight:

This tool replaced a belt sander by Black and Decker that was bought in 1975. When it totally died recently, I went to my favorite tool maker, Makita. The specifications on this sander were good, the price was better than most others, and the reviews were excellent. My only misgiving is that it is heavy. I have a wood carving and sculpture business and most of the work could be done with something smaller.

Best belt sander I've ever tried....:

The Makita 4x24 is a workhorse with all the power you'll ever need in a belt sander. It also has a very comfortable feel to it and is very easy to use. The bag collects dust better than any other model I've tried and being able to reposition it with the swiveling fitting is a major plus. I've also tried the Dewalt and a Bosch, and there is no comparison in the products; the Makita works best,hands down.
