Great quality and made in the USA!
5 Stars
Great quality and made in the USA!
I purchased this as I was looking for an orbital sander for sanding the old stain off a dozen kitchen cabinets as well as some bedroom doors for a much needed new look. I wanted something that was both easy to use but also made quick work of a very laborious chore without oversanding or swirl marks. Needless to say, the Makita excelled at both. Simply move the sander with very little pressure across the piece and you'll have a piece that's ready to be stained or painted in no time. The dust collection wasn't great but it gets the job done. However, for how good a job this does compared to other orbital sanders I've used in the past at this price point, it's well worth the trade-off. To top it all off this sander is assembled in the United States! (See photo) How often do you see that? I wouldn't recommend it if was a piece of junk no matter where it's made, but this is both high quality and made here in America. For me, and hopefully you, that makes this a no-brainer if purchase if you're in the market for a random orbital.
