Unique 1" belt sander is a great little tool [Posted on 2004-12-06]
I've had one of these little sanders for about 15 years.
It's a very specialized tool, and in my case, there haven't been many uses for it - however, when only a small belt sander will do the trick, this tool has worked well, without any problems.
It's light, safe to use, has plenty of power, changing belts is simple and fast, the handle for your left hand greatly aids in tool control, and overall, is well designed. The only feature mine lacks is variable speed, which the newer sanders have.
Even though the belt is narrow, it can throw off lots of dust, so consider using it outside (if possible), or use a respirator. It isn't a good choice for sanding flat wood much wider than an inch, since it's difficult to not leave groove marks at the belt edges.
Very dependable and durable tool [Posted on 2005-04-25]
I've been using this sander for many many years now. In fact I have 3 of them in my shop. Of course I bought them from Amazon.
Only thing you have to do to maintain this great tool is to change bearing. You can get them from Makita or many other on-line part shop.
goes where no sander has gone before [Posted on 2005-08-11]
small lite wieght sander that go and do more than any other sander. Has plenty of power to remove material and help in shaping wood. Just seams to send dust flying everywhere. If it had dust collection it would definetly deserve 5 stars, but then again if it had dust collection it would just get in the way.
