Reconditioned Makita Belt Sander Not Reliable
I was pleased with the price of the factory reconditioned Makita R9910 Belt Sander, but after VERY limited use, I find it would not start with out a "push", and now, after owning it for 2 years, but using it very little, it has refused to start at all. I have been unhappy with its poor reliability and would not buy another reconditioned Makita product.

Factory-Reconditioned Makita R9910 3" x 18" Belt Sander
The unit works acceptably. However, it is not a refurburshed sander. It is used. I have purchased numerous refurburshed Dewalt power tools and they have obviously been "re-built." This unit was not even cleaned, let alone re-built.

USED - not reconditioned
I just received my sander, which seems to work fine......but calling it "reconditioned" should be false advertising. This is a USED piece of equipment. If it was reconditioned, it wouldn't arrive covered in a thick layer of oiley sawdust, with rust on the base plate. The least they could do is wipe it off if they had it in the factory. A manual and warrantee info would be nice to have as well.

Light,solid,and compact
I recently used the Mikita to sand down the cedar rails for a handrail I was building. I found the Mikita to be quite useful because it's small enough to use one handed when needed and still do it's job. It's somewhat of a task specific tool, but when you need a little more than the orbital this is the answer. Also, the price is nice. ... Read more

Excellent sander, great price, but not "reconditioned"
The Makita R9911 works extremely well for sanding large flat areas. It is 10 3/8" long and weighs 5.7lb, so it feels quite bulky if you are not using is on a horizontal surface. However the tool is very well balanced, and it is also relatively quiet (rated at 82dB, which is much quieter than most power tools). The only difference compared with the slightly cheaper R9910, is that the R9911 has the advantage of a variable speed selector (250-900 ft/min). The trigger mechanism can be locked "on" for extended use, just like a variable speed drill. Changing the belt is accomplished very easily via a single lever, and once the new belt is in place it locks in well and seems to stay in place during operation. Makita describes the dust collection system as "highly efficient": it does work a bit better than similar systems I have used on other sanders, but it still spreads a fair amount of dust around. My major complaint about this offer is that there was no indication at all that the manufacturer had done anything to "recondition" the tool I received. It arrived covered in oil and sawdust and its dust bag was about 1/4 full. It took quite a while to clean the tool, but once clean it did look almost new. There was no replacement label - it still shows "9111" as the model number, not "R9111". There was no factory packaging of any kind, and no user manual or warranty. It is like buying a used tool, not a reconditioned one. Nevertheless in my case the item I received is in great condition and works flawlessly, and it cost substantially less than a new model... ...

Amazon.com Review

This review refers to the new model of this tool. This is a reconditioned powertool. Reconditioned generally means that the tool has been returned to the manufacturer,who brings the tool back to like-new condition. Some tools may contain cosmeticblemishes. Reconditioned tools come with the same warranty as their newcounterparts.

We know why Popular Woodworking named this sander Tool of the Year for1999. Whether you're a woodworker, a cabinetmaker, or just serious about the finishesaround your home, Makita's random orbital sander delivers power and control in a lightand easy-to-use package that won't gouge or leave swirls on material. The palm grip fitscomfortably in most hands and the on/off switch remains quickly accessible to the thumb.All-ball-bearing construction in the 2 amp, 12,000 rpm motor does a good job reducingvibration for easier control and comfort over extended use. We really liked thedust-collection system on this sander. Eight holes in the bottom and bands of vents alongthe outside remove waste material efficiently and translate to less cleanup, a clearer lineof sight, and precise sanding throughout the entire project. Sanding pads are thehook-and-loop type and change quickly and easily. --Justin Paul ... Read more

Great performance!
A very agile and capable tool! The Makita BO5010 is very comfortable to hold - I'm a petite female so hand size is sometimes a problem, but it wasn't an issue at all with this product. It is light, very effective & easy to use. The only problem would be the dust collection system - it did collect some dust, but not enough to warrant that as a major feature. There was no indication that the one I received was reconditioned, except for the R code, no box, and no manual/information. The sander was in perfect condition! ... Read more

Features of this grinder
The Milwaukee 4 1/2" "Magnum" grinder model#6148 may just be one of the best hand grinders for the money available in the USA. This unit is rated at 8.5 amps and 1.6HP, that translates into some unusual power. I am a welder, I use a hand-held grinder quite a bit. I need a unit that will take stock down fast and smooth jagged cuts and welds with speed and flexablity. This unit fit the bill well and the price is fantastic. Only one other manufacturer makes a comparable unit but the price is a bit higher and the amperage rated a bit lower (but it's yellow!). If your needs are toward metal removal; this is the 4" grinder you'll be happy with. ... Read more

Fast but has problems
I've owned this sander for several years. The dust collection tube worked at first but then wouldn't stay on. Now the off/on switch broke. Too bad. This is a fast, smooth sander with problems.

Fine Little Sander
Received my reconditioned sander the other day and used it immediatly out of the box (very fast shipping!). It fit my palm perfect, floats over the wood like a charm and is fun to sand with. The most annoying thing is that the dust collector pops off for no apparent reason every 1-2 minutes and spreads a very fine powder all over the place....very messy to say the least! I attribute this to it being used and/or weak rubber O-rings which hold it in place. Highly recommend this and most PC products! ... Read more

Smoothest palm sander yet!
This sander caused me to put my other finish sanders on the shelf! The dust collector really works, I thought that there was no way a hard canister would catch that much dust, but it does.
I have used this as final sanding on several projects now and it has produced excellent results.The only drawback was keeping track of the punch plate for putting the holes in the sandpaper, but that comes from being an older woodworker. ... Read more
