Prodotto molto utile per levigare diversi materiali, noi la usiamo per arrotare i vetri montandoci su l’apposito nastro!
Il prodotto arrivato in orario e puntualmente
Hatte schon das alte Model und brauchte noch einen zweiten. Egal, ob Holz , Metall oder Plastik, die Bandfeile nutze ich fr alle mglichen Sachen. Fr Rohre, Kanten entgraten, vorschleifen von Schweinhten und vieles mehr. Wrde ich mir immer wieder kaufen.
Pour travailler sur les bateaux en particulier, cet outil est indispensable. Avec les bonnes bandes a arrache vraiment fort le bois comme la rsine polyester. Parfait aussi pour le travail du mtal. Je m’en sers l’envers pour bavurer, affuter les ciseaux bois ou forets.
Il s’agit d’un outil rustique avec un moteur qui doit dater de plusieurs dcennies, le variateur n’est pas terrible, la perte de puissance est norme au ralenti.
La vis de la poigne se dvisse rgulirement. Ce n’est pas toujours vident de changer la bande s’il y a trop de poussire sur l’appareil.
La sortie pour l’aspiration est compltement inutile, il faut oublier, la poussire est propulse en arrire sur le ct de la machine, il faut donc tenir le tuyau d’aspiration la main le plus proche possible de la bande pour esprer limiter le chantier.
Donc c’est un outil amliorer, mais comme il n’a presque que pas d’quivalent dans les autres marques, je l’adore et il me le rend bien. S’il pouvait tre sur batterie….
Love the Mitsubishi Belt Sanders, they are incredible sanders. I have two. However, the instructions are in Japanese. But that is really no problem as the Belt Sander is simple to operate. But it would be nice to have a manual in English
You will use it constantly, for things you never imagined.
You never knew you needed one until you had one. A must now
First of all, I have the dreaded 100VAC 50-60hz Made in Japan, belt sander. I love it. As a matter of fact I broke it out today and was using it to shape and sand the teeth on a Tiki, I am making. As I used this device, I noticed it was not screeching back at me like my jitterbug and the soothing hum of the motor allowed me to utilize the sculpting capabilities of our minds eye. It was pleasurable, I was lost in the moment, I enjoyed myself. Up until then I used it for boat/fiberglass work, which is not nearly as fun as woodworking IMHO…Great tool..
Works great for fine tuning crown and other moldings. Hard to avoid the dust in your eyes but you will find the sweet spot.
So far works the way I hoped for, powerfull and ergodynamic
Top quality,powerful motor
Does everything I need it to do
I was looking at this for awhile. The price made me flinch a bit. I was at a point in my boat construction where I had to clean up a lot of the joints I had made with epoxy. This was the perfect tool. It did a great job and also I was able to do detail work where the big sanders wouldn’t fit. It also could take off any high screw heads as the belts handle metal. I use the end to shape rounded joints and the flat for surfaces. All in all it saved me hours.. I wish it was variable speed as it can be very aggressive even with fine grit belts..
Heavier than my old air powered belt sander. But dont have an air compressor running all the time.
Must have for fiberglass boat repair, gets into tight spots with control like no other. Quality tool, functions exactly as expected.
I have purchase many of these sanders and they all have worked flawlessly
Bought this on the recommendation from Andy at Boat works today ….you tube videos.
Slower speed than I expected and this turns out to be good with how fast it takes fiberglass down.
I have been restoring fibreglass parts for a motorcycle and this tool has been a huge asset. Amazing.
The vacuum attachment makes getting you dust under control easy
As others noted, the dust port won’t fit anything US-sized. Makita naturally intended it to be used with their own dust extractor – which I am sure is most excellent, but so is my Shop Vac – and I am not switching over. I registered my displeasure with Makita USA on multiple occasions over the last 10 years with no apparent effect.
Here is the workaround: get the Shop Vac 906-87-00 Universal Tool Adapter. It is made of rubber-like plastic and fits very tightly. The small end of the adapter will fit snugly in the dust port, the middle section will accept the 1-1/4″ Shop Vac hose end. Chop the rest off with a hack saw. Thus adapted, the tool operates as clean as you can expect from a sander (i.e. there is some dust on the surface, but very little is airborne).
While at it, you may also want to remove the pin and cover – they serve no useful purpose. Put those in an envelope and mail it to Makita USA, 14930 Northam St., La Mirada, CA 90638 (with an expletive of your choice).
I also removed the useless handle arm. Pushing the nose by the handle causes the front pulley to sway – very slightly, but enough for the belt to start sliding around. Without the handle and the handle arm you have a clear view of the nose and can still have a fine control – just grip the motor housing with other hand. Now, when looking at the front pulley – if the belt attempts to slide, it means you are pushing too hard.
Lastly, the manual fails to mention that you can tweak the tension of the front pulley by twisting the large knurled nut holding spring and pulley arm together. See the photos.
Machine rarissime sur le march.
Pourtant particulirement intressante l’usage.
Je recommande aux professionnels et aux amateurs clairs
The owners manual is not in English. If yo7u need it for anything you are out of luck. Other wise it works like I hoped it would.
Very nice tool I have at least 20 other sanders but this will fit in nicely
I am using this sander for refinishing the stairs in nu home, getting around the spindles ect..
I am extremely pleased with this product. I don’t know if the engineers that designed this had boat work in mind but it seems as though it was made for it. The radius of the front wheel matches the majority of the radius i encounter. It has also made sanding in tight spaces less of a headache. Since it arrived it has been used non stop, without issue.
purchased for doing prep for fiberglass layup, with 40-grit it makes short work of paint and gelcoat in the way. I haven’t tried it for subtler work yet…
Great belt sander for all the tight corners on a boat.
Ho comprato questa levigatrice per velocizzare i lavori sulla mia barca in vetroresina. La ho usata soltanto per due giorni ma sono riuscito a fare un lavoro che avrebbe richiesto pi di una settimana per farlo con gli altri attrezzi e in buona parte a mano, in particolare nello spazio dove la tuga connessa alla coperta. Anche la preparazione della superficie per la chiusura dei vecchi fori piuttosto che asportazione del materiale in eccesso velocissima. Per una piccola barca di 6 m come la mia, piena di piccole superfici una macchina assolutamente indispensabile. Purtroppo la descrizione sbagliata che indica tuttora l’alimentazione a 120V mi ha trattenuto a lungo dall’acquisto.
Great sander , like others have said but don’t you think if the shipment was to the USA they would include an english manual? Or if they put on a dust extractor port because it is needed , that they should sell adapters to fit most if not all dust collection hoses? And or sell the hook up kit with hoses? Maybe it is a little too much to ask for? My guess is they never bother to read reviews. It is a great sander though. Seller sucks poo.
Dust blows right in your face unless you buy the belt sander bag for it. It’s Makita part no. 1225483
What can I say, it’s a Makita, have used them for years, always work well.
I’ve had this tool for over 20 years and and it still works great. Mostly used for coping joints and back beveling. Works best with course grit belts, I prefer 80 or even 60 grit.
It took a little to get used to the interesting ergonomics. But now I couldn’t do without this tool for scribing woodwork to walls and detail shaping.
Just fine well made excellent. Just purchased not sire about the future but so far so good. will give update later.
Fun fact: Trim carpet edges with it. Who knew.
Nice tool. Guide handle can get in the way on certain projects.
There is one significant problem with the design: If you plan to use the dust collection, you will likely have to remove a roll pin and cover, as well as make a male-to-male adapter to get a hose onto the thing. This is assuming you already have the small euro-style shop vac hoses. If you have the typical 7/8″-1.5″ shop vac and hoses, you are going to need a mess of adapters. I do not understand why Makita didn’t include an adapter or come up with a better design for the dust collection. The dust collection is the main reason I spent 10x on this unit versus the similar generic tool I had been using previously. Makita seems to have designed this tool to take a very small hose that would go *inside* the dust collection port. I have been unable to find a hose that would work for this use.
I’m still very happy with the tool overall!
Replacement of a nearly indestructible sander grinder with which for many years made my
living as a metal fabricator. Why did the first one quit after only 35 years?
Awwrrrr… I forgot to lubricate the front roller. Excessive friction overloaded the motor and smoked the windings.
No better tool on the market. Makita is tops, as always.
Macht was es soll. Handhabung und Leistung ist gut.
Qualittsgert. Habe von Makita auch nichts anderes erwartet.
Es lohnt sich halt ein Markengert zu kaufen.
Used for sanding tight spots on a deck. Very effective. This thing is a work horse. Highly recommend it!
Still going strong.
I personally think these cost more than what they are worth. However I’m to cheap to buy the junk brand
Second one of these I’ve purchase. Insanely useful tool. Well made, and incredibly handy.
j’avais deja un ancien model ou le moteur fume ,mais au bout de 20 ans il n’y a rien a dire donc je recommande le meme modele
besser als erwartet Schleifband bleibt immer in der Spur,starke Leistung und leicht in der Handhabung, kann es Heimwerker und Profis nur weterempfehle
Muy buena maquina, es muy eficiente para diversos usos, aunque estoy buscando ms bandas de diversos usos, ojala y las pueda encontrar.
Nun, nachdem ich die Maschine eine Weile in Gebrauch habe, kann ich nichts negatives darber sagen.
Tut was sie soll. Makita eben.
I bought this tool to replace the Makita 1-1/8 x 21 sander I had owned previously for over fifteen years and got so much use from. Its a great versitle tool for multiple uses and I highly recommend it to anyone working in the building trades.
You can not go wrong with makita or dewalt. This sander works well for close and precise encounters
We purchased this sander to remove the finish from the inside edge of the rails on our deck. There were a couple hundred rails to sand and when faced with the prospect of sanding all of them by hand, we expected this part of the project to take several days. We were thrilled to find this sander, which cut the job down to a couple of hours. Changing the belts was super easy. The sander is quite heavy – much heavier than I expected, but the extra handle helped to offset this by allowing a two handed grip. I am not sure what other uses we will find for the tool, but for the purpose we needed it for it was definitely a great purchase.
A must have for a glaziers. Love it for notches and holes
greater application than larger belt sanders, versatile tool for tighter locations
This quickly became on of my favorite tool.
This a good quality product. It runs quietler than I expected, that I think is a result of strong materials and quality bearings. The only limitation is that Makita only supplies belts up to 240 grit. This is OK for general sanding, but I also need to use it for polishing, and the available grits will not work for that application. This is a good product at an affordable price point.
Wer auf den Griffbgel verzichten kann kommt damit in fast jede Ecke.
Habe gerade eine alte Holztreppe inkl. Staketengelnder erfolgreich von 2 Lagen alter Farbe befreit.
This is pretty much my go-to sander for most applications. I can easily smooth sharp glass edges, sharpen knives, and hog though wood likes it not even there. Quality belts are a must though!
Great sander. Easy to handle, not too heavy. Very easy to change belts. Works wonderfully to trim feet on horses that are sore and have a difficult time picking up a foot.
Great tool! i use it mostly for fiberglass work and it has really held up to hard use and abuse.
This is a tool that I don’t use that often but when I need it is worth having X 2. Take me forever to use all the belts that come with it. Joe
his is my 3rd of this unit works good, need to blow it out often to keep the motor from burning up
but we are using it with metals, good machine for the price
As a glass artist who loves to make hammered edge glass table tops out of thick glass, this tool is a MUST for me. I don’t know how I did it without one for so long. I remove the flat metal plate on the bottom which allows me to flex the belt in and out of the contours of the edges. I just hope it lasts me many years, but am tempted to buy another just to have in reserve.
This is a perfect tool for a finish carpenter to do window seals. I would recommend this Makita belt sander.
Best thing I ever bought! Got my first one about 14 years ago and I use it all the time. Desided To pick up a new one but the old one is still going strong. Makes coping crown easy!
good machine kind of high price but the best available. The variable speed gives a lot of control in different conditions
it’s really a step up from my old one……especially since the old one is now in two pieces.I give it both thumbs up……still have both thumbs.
I bought this to replace an older one that finally gave up, It’s a good unit but I feel it is a bit over priced
have been using hand rasps and cobed up tools, trying to do the same thing, because the price was just to high. This is the best price I could find anywhere. I have 2 stocks that are waiting finishing with 3 more on order. This tool will make all those jobs so much eaiser.
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.
