Unmatched Power and Performance

The makita orbit sander ® sander is designed to deliver serious sanding capability. It is powered by a high-efficiency brushless motor that provides up to 40% more power than an equivalent pneumatic sander. This power translates to rapid material removal when you need it and consistent, smooth operation for detailed finishing work. With a variable speed dial on thismakita orbit sander  sander, you can precisely match the sanding speed to the material and application. You can adjust the orbits per minute from 6,000 to 10,000 OPM to prevent damage to delicate surfaces or to power through tough stock removal.

Superior Ergonomics for All-Day Use

Comfort is a critical factor in finishing work, where tools are often held for extended periods. Makita has engineered the makita orbit sander sander with an ultra-low profile design. This positions the hand closer to the sanding surface, providing better control and reducing fatigue. This design, combined with a well-balanced weight distribution, makes thismakita orbit sander  sander feel like a natural extension of your arm. By using the XGT® platform, you also eliminate the drag and weight of a power cord, allowing for unrestricted movement around your workspace.
