goes where no sander has gone before:
small lite wieght sander that go and do more than any other sander. Has plenty of power to remove material and help in shaping wood. Just seams to send dust flying everywhere. If it had dust collection it would definetly deserve 5 stars, but then again if it had dust collection it would just get in the way.
Very dependable and durable tool:
I've been using this sander for many many years now. In fact I have 3 of them in my shop. Of course I bought them from Amazon. Only thing you have to do to maintain this great tool is to change bearing. You can get them from Makita or many other on-line part shop.
Unique 1" belt sander is a great little tool:
I've had one of these little sanders for about 15 years. It's a very specialized tool, and in my case, there haven't been many uses for it - however, when only a small belt sander will do the trick, this tool has worked well, without any problems. It's light, safe to use, has plenty of power, changing belts is simple and fast, the handle for your left hand greatly aids in tool control, and overall, is well designed. The only feature mine lacks is variable speed, which the newer sanders have.more info
