Satisfied amatuer koa woodworker:

I had an old Craftsman belt sander before and it didn't have a dust bag. It made a mess all over my workshop. I've read in several magazines about dust bags on belt sanders and many of them don't do what they are supposed to do. I read the 15 reviews on the Amazon site and they all claim this Makita was the best. I am totally satisfied. It surely does an exceptional job at keeping the saw dust in the bag.

Great belt Sander:

After owning a Black and Decker sander, the MAKITA sander was a welcomed relief. It sands quickly and evenly throughout any project. I can also clamp it in a vise for stationary work and the extra long cord is handy for larger projects. The belt STAYS tracked once its set. This a a great sander!

A nice one:

I gave up on belt sanders years ago after several cheap ones gave me trouble to the point of tossing them. I've been using a power planer since, until my wife suprised me with a new fridge that was 1/4" too tall. The planer has a hard time getting in tight. I got the 9903 and took it out to the shop to fine tune and learn it's personality. I didn't need to; plugged it in, hit the trigger and it just tracked straight with the belt that was on it. It's a little heavy, but not so bad that I can't use it... more info

Great sander:

I bought this sander about a month ago and am very pleased with it. I bought the Dewalt about three years ago and am throwing it away to use the Makita. Belt tracks smoothly, dust collection is best I've ever seen on a belt sander. It's well balanced, lighter than the DeWalt and a great value for the price. The DeWalt didn't pick up dust well, belt wouldn't track right and dust collection bag kept falling off. I'm staying with Makita from now on.
