Sanders Now

Professionals exposed to serious sanding can well appreciate the importance of quality in a power-sanding tool. Scratches and grooves, which ultimately add to your work, are often the consequences of having employed difficult to hold, unbalanced, belt controlled sanders. And, a badly designed belt system further worsens the output.

At 14 Inches it is a Big Sander

This particular unit, at 14 inches, is the largest and most powerful Makita belt sander in the entire range. It’s really powerful, making it an ideal choice for those looking for a sander that very well covers a lot of area.

Despite an 11-amp powerful motor working at speed of 1600 feet per minute and its 24 x 4 inch belt it offers easy control and remains comfortable to use. Of course, the prudently designed front ball grip, 360º swivel dust bag, and new cord position at the front of the back handle to avoid its dragging do contribute to that.

Double Insulated to Keep Your Hands Cool

It’s thoughtful to have provided this high-speed powerful workhorse with double insulation. Nevertheless, 12 1/2 pounds is on the heavier side. It’s all the more so if you have been used to handling a low power sander. You can’t expect an 11-amp motor to remain lightweight.

Designed for Flush Sanding Against Walls

There is another feature of this tool, and without doubt the most helpful. It flushes against the wall without leaving the customary strip, which needs to be hand sanded with most other sanders. It is equipped with Makitas logical belt changing and tracking arrangements enabling you to spend most time for sanding, rather than turning and twisting the belt.
