Tools and Hardware Reviews of Makita 9403 11 Amp 4-Inch-by-24-Inch Belt Sander with Cloth Dust Bag

Customer Review: Flat Door Panels & Glueups
Summary: 5 Stars

I finally replaced my Craftsman 4x24 which self-destructed after 25 years of faithful service. I am asking myself why I waited. The Makita has as much power, is smoother and more predictable. I use it to smooth out glueup panels for cabinet doors. Belt tracking and running smoothly are very important factors for a flat door panel. This machine tracks smoothly with the grain, across the grain and at an angle to the grain. It is controllable one-handed. Dust collection is superior to the Craftsman and other belt sanders I have used in the past. The long cord (over 10') is a joy. Most of the time I don't need an extension cord. Ergonomically, it is an ambidextrous dream. There is plenty of power to handle 50-60 grit belts and I don't get the jerky feeling so many sanders give when under full load. Starting w/o digging in and creating divots is a thing of the past. The tool is unbelievably quiet. My ears thank me. A smooth and controllable machine equals smooth panels. Feel tempted to use this on finished furniture - but - that is not its place. If you want to create a lot of sanding dust, really quickly, this is the machine for you. Based on what I see so far, I believe this will go better than 20 years in a hobbyist's shop w/o being a paperweight in your storage cabinet. The quality is far superior to anything I ever got from Craftsman. For those who love DeWalt, Porter-Cable or one of the others on the market - this is the Lexus of sanding machines. Any difference in price is insignificant over 20 years. This will never be the machine you hate everytime you use it.
