It is as excellent for finishing work
Good for finishing. It leaves no marks at all.
Might consider buying this than a more expensive random orbital sander.
Excellent quality
Easy to attach abrasive paper and great to operate not as noisy as some
Very good
Very good tool.
Saves a lot of time and effo
Quality sande
I have used Makita tools for many years. I have found them to be good value and long lasting. This sander is no exception, the sand paper is easily fitted and holds very firmly. It’s well made, sturdy and built to last, with very little vibration. Well worth the money, does the job perfectly.
Such a good purchase
Some sanders are heavy duty and some are too weak. This is definitely in between. I’m very happy with this purchase as one, it saves me buying stupid sanding pads that last about 2 minutes and 2 it gets the job done.
It’s hardly a festool RS sander but I imagine it’s the next best and a lot cheaper. I mean for the price of 30 what a bargain. Feels sturdy when using it so I hoping it has a long life.
Does the job
It’s quiet as a tradesman I am impressed with the clips which holds the glass paper on very sturdy the Piper doesn’t jump up for this one good value for money
Great sande
I’m thrilled with my new sander and wish I had bought it years ago. My son and grandson recommended the Makita brand as being good quality at a good price At 75 my fingers are not as strong as they used to be so this sander has made renovating elderly wood in a Georgian house almost a pleasure to do. Smoothing wood filler to a perfect finish, ready for painting, is now so easy.
Tan buena que es la segunda que me roban...
Genial lijadora, aunque sea para detallado, con una lija de grano 40 o 60 limpia las maderas como si usaras lijadora de banco.
Makita es sinnimo de calidad y ms con este modelo que la primera vez que lo compre fue hace 10 aos, esn tan fcil de usar que entren a la chica de facturacin de la empresa, dice que le sirve de terapia y relajacin para las manos, de tanto tiempo con el mause y teclado la entiendo un poco.
En fin, cualquier lijadora de Makita, ya sea sta o alguna orbital les servir, pero recuerden que es para acabados, as que procuren no sobre-esforzarla.
Definitivamente comprare otra, ahora que me la han vuelto a robar.
Very nice sander, at last a sander that holds the sandpaper properly.
After blowing up 2 cheap sanders I decided to spend a bit extra on a quality sander as some of my other tools are the same make & have had no problems with them.
What a difference, the sanding is smooth & don’t take chunks out when sanding internal corners als this is the first sander I have found that actually holds the sanding sheets properly & also tensions the sheet so it’s less likely to tare. Worth the extra money !
Great tool works really well!
I purchased this for a present and it has been very successful!
Works well, and gives a good finish. The small bag/box to catch the dust saves spraying it all over the patio, it fills up quite quickly but is easy to empty and change.
Like all sanders you get quite a lot of vibration so if you use it for a long time in one go it might make your arm ache, but this one is no worse than others I have used. Overall a good product at a competitive price, would buy again.
A really good buy
A very good flat sander, next to no vibration compared to other ones i have used .
Dooes th job
Performs as it is required to do. It sands wood.
This is a professional tool all the way,smooth,hardly any vibration whatsoever,excellent clamping system,best I’ve had.

Buena herramienta
Muy buena herramienta, trabaja bien, slo que cuando se le hace un poco de presin disminuye su potencia, de resto trabaja bien.
Great value for money
Great buy quiet in use easy change of sanding sheet good build quality recommended
Sands well and runs cool. The only annoyance is the trigger lock, which is difficult to engage and pops off easily.

Makita BO3710,Excellent sande
Having owned many cheaper and inferior Sanders I decided to push the boat out and purchase one of these. This is a quality product with a superb lock up system, the sandpaper punch is also an added bonus as I always attach the sander to my Henry vacuum. Buy with confidence.
Excelente maquina!
La he usado en varias ocasiones desde que me llego, hasta ahora, una maquina perfecta, muy buena calidad!
Grea
Does just what it says on the tin. Great tool
If you can afford it ...buy i
Awesome product.
I purchased to replace a palm sander that finally gave out. I’ve always wanted Makita kit ever since I purchased an angle grinder several years ago.
The many reviews already here made.my.mind up for me.
I’m a professional decorator and it’s brought a new dimension to my work.
The only thing to be careful of is the purchase of sanding padsm. Please check the size of pad on the sander as not all pads avilable on Amazon fit.
The sander is quiet in operation and tjeno dist extraction works really well.
Fortunately it comes with a template so I can use the rolls of sandpaper from my decorator’s merchants and cut to size.
Saving up for my next Makita tool!
So far, so great.
This was bought for my husband, a carpenter, to use as a replacement for an old sander. So far it has been reliable and effective in use.
Handy
Easy to use. Love the attachment that makes holes in sandpaper and also that you do not have to buy special sandpaper but can cut any to size. Works constantly for hours without any problems. Dust bag is grea
Seller diplomat ordered on 30th april delivered on 3rd may
Box is intact with little hole on side but product undamaged inside
Perfect build quality no gaps in plastic
The sand paper inside box is small to fit on base.
No speed regulator in BO3710.
If u want adjustable speed go for BO3711
I am using for DIY Project I need large surface area and sand paper that can be found in regular shops overall worth buying i got it for rs4400 on april 2021.
Two cons wire length is small also warranty should be more than 6months.
Conclusion go for it.
Great finishing sande
Very good sander I particularly like the sandpaper hole punch system.
Good value
Great sander, quieter than the cheaper ones
It was worth paying a bit more for a solid product, particularly like the sturdy spring clips at the front and back to secure the sanding sheet which are easier to fit than the wirey spring clips that are at the side of other cheaper brands.
eplaces a cheaper machine
his replaces a cheaper bosch sander which lasted me for years but this one seems to not have as much vibration and its not as noisy. hopefully it will last me for years because it wont get used every day.
Good value
I’ve used the same item before and it is great a very good make too.
Well made.
yet again another well made tool by makita, easy to use and collects most of the dust.
You won’t regret getting this sander.
Got this to replace a cheaper sander that broke. So glad I did as I now know that sanding is a lot easier with a good machine. I used it on floorboards which is a backbreaking job but this sander made it so much easier.
Quite happy with the purchase. Found it hard to believe that such a cheap zipper used on the dust bag. Its the reason for the 4 stars! and not 5 stars.

I liked the size. It is big enough to do a larger surface unlike smaller handheld sanders. The sandpaper was easy to install. I would definitely recommend this.

Can not go wrong with this make, my husband has so many things with this make, no matter what you buy with this make, you will make a very good choice, very highly recommended
This is the one. This does it. Can't go wrong.

This sander performed exactly as advertised. East clamp system to hold sandpaper in place and a handle lock button to allow both hands free during longer sanding jobs. Very happy with this sander!

La marca es de calidad y confianza
Llego en tiempo, fcil de usar y el producto en relacin calidad precio est muy bien.

I like the price point. Seems really durable. It got the job done but takes a lot of elbow grease.

Mainly liked the paper loading, much easier and sturdier than some competitors.

Great sander, easy to clamp sanding sheets into place. Clamps lock so well and not in the way of side panels if your are doing an interior area. Used this to sand replacement boards for a garden bench I was refurbishing. You can also buy an optional sanding base that can be used with sandpaper that has hook and loop on the backside. The Sander is a little noisy, but nowhere near my previous one that died. I am very happy with the purchase.

Solid performance, quiet and smooth. Definitely worth a try. No complaints on either of my Makita orbital sanders I bought for refinishing my furniture.

It’s oh so quiet.
This is so quiet. Was anxious about annoying neighbours but once on I completely relaxed. It’s powerful and does the job in no time but for me the other was the gentle hum rather than the chainsaw brrrrrrr that accompanied my previous sander.
Usefull tool for smoothening surface..changing paper is easy.. any paper from local store can be used for it..paper cost only 30rs max.. no need any special paper.. good sanding ability.. vibration transfer to hand also very less.. sanding circles can also removed by ideal choosing of paper grit.. go for it.. you wont regret..
Makes much less noise than my previous one. Clamp on sandpaper perfectly, never slip during sanding. The hold button is what we call good engineering, making me not have to hold the press button all the time. A good buy.

Have used this sander at work for years and I like it enough to buy my own. It’s a basic 1/3 sheet sander that removes material effectively and it’s quiet. Would recommend to everyone.

Efficient sander.
Knowing Marita is a good, sturdy make, I bought this to replace one I gave to my daughter. It is a very manageable size, not too heavy and works very effectively. The paper is simple to attach, a spring and clip design. Although the bag does not collect all the dust, none of them do in my experience. I recommend it.
ice and quiet and light(ish) weight compared to other brand I had that quit. been using for awhile and still like i

I am an old time woodworker having been in business since 1978 and this is the BEST finish sander I have ever owned. Also it is much easier on my tired wrists and ears, if you want a good sander that helps you be a perfectionist then buy it NOW. Mr C

Me lleg a tiempo, el producto se ve muy bonito ahora solo falta probarlo y valorar el desempeo.
Good, hard working sander for domestic projects.
Was really pleased with this little Makita. Sanded all of the woodwork in my hall/stairs/landing over a 2 day period (and there was a lot of it!) right back from horrible varnished down to the bare wood. It took some time, but this machine was more than capable. Only slight problem was that it’s difficult to get it into all of the bits that need doing as it’s a bit cumbersome, but that’s the only drawback I felt.
Fcil de usar, Puede usar papel de lija de cualquier tipo, no requiere repuestos especiales, cosa que es una gran ventaja.
Trae una base para perforar las lijas y usar el deposito.
La marca no me ha decepcionado, son herramientas duraderas y muy cmodas para usar.
Buena potencia.
price is righ
I liked the feel of the grip and the clamps for the paper.
The only draw back is about the same as any other brands; the dust collection bag sticking out the back making the sander longer to use in tighter areas.
My 30 year old B&D started to get very hot so it was obviously time to retire it. However, I was in the middle of a job so I needed a replacement immediately. Having checked out the various options I chose the Makita because it had a good power rating at 190W and a high stroke rate and it wasn’t as dear as others in it’s class.
I particularly like the “punched plate” sole which give the option of using sheets of generic sandpaper and using the supplied punch plate to make holes which allow the dust to be extracted and collected; all done in one simple operation. Moreover the securing mechanism for generic sandpaper is very efficient and holds the paper well. There is of course the option of buying a “hook and loop” sole in order to use pre-cut sheets of “hook & loop” paper.
The handles are well positioned and comfortable and the trigger and hold-on button do not interfere when pressing down on the sander. My only small criticism is that IMO the “trigger + hold-on button” system is a bit pointless; with this type of tools one either wants it “on” (for a significant length of time) or “not on” (when it’s not in use) so a simple on/off switch on the side of the handle would have been adequate instead of having to operate the trigger and the hold-on button simultaneously every time.
Overall a very efficient tool which produced a great result.
BUEN PRODUCTO
Es muy buen equipo, cumple con la funcion para la cual se hizo aunque a mi me hace falta encontrar hasta donde debo lijar porque en algunos trabajos que he realizado o me paso o me hace falta, buen producto
This sander was purchased to replace my 20 year old Craftsman 1/3 sheet sander. The paper holding clamp design is nice, easy to use and secures the “standard normal” paper to the sander tightly. This sander is also very quiet compared to my old sander. This is an orbital sander, it works fast with the proper grit and does not leave swirl marks in your wood finish.
Highly recommend!
Fairly quiet sander, easy to use. Other sanders may have more power, but this one has enough for me.

It's a good finishing sander that won't vibrate your arms numb like my old sanders.

muy buena
es una herramienta muy prctica y no pesa, lija perfecto. la utilizo constantemente y su vibracin casi no se siente. realmente la recomiendo.
Great tool and dust bag is effective!!!
Great bit of kit and one of the few tools where the dust bag actually works quite effectively.
Great Finishing sander Best bang for your buck!
This is a great finishing sander. Used it for 4 hours straight and I wasn’t vibrating!
Great clamping system for attaching the sanding sheets.
The bag actually collects dust! I empty it every hour or two of using.
Only flaw on this thing is the location of the trigger-hold. But not so much that it’s bothersome.
A Fine Job
Love this: easy to load, easy to use. Great results from a trustworthy brand.
FANTASTIC MACHINE
WHAT A GREAT MACHINE , I GAVE THE BOSCH SANDER 100% BECAUSE IT DID A GREAT JOB UNTIL THE HOLDING PAPER CLIP CAME OFF WHEN IN USE DISSAPOINTINGLY SO I MUST GIVE THE MAKITA 200% SATISFACTION NO LOOS PARTS TO COME ADRIFT A REAL PLEASING MACHINE THATS GET JOB DONE HIGHLY RECOMENDED
Excellent sande
These are brilliant sanders. We use them constantly. They out last all the other cheaper brands. They are far less tiring to use when sanding for long periods of time. I wouldn’t use anything else
Pleased with the sander when I used it in my first project. Decent power and nice to handle. Dust bag takes away part of the sand. Really like the way the sand paper is clamped on - that part is well made. The item has fully met my expectations.

When your ancient sander dies in the middle of a project, finding another good one is a big plus. This is quiet, it's quite easy to attach paper, and it does a lovely job. And it got here fast!

Spot on.
Not as dust free when attached to a Hoover as was hoped everything else about the product especially the paper clamps is quality worth paying extra.
Quie
First of all in canada a big box stores wanted $109 for this and amazon $63. What a great deal!
Does what a sander should but at a remarkably low noise level.
If the dust collection pipe bag are review to a much bigger diameter so with an attachment it can fix other dust collection tools that will be great for jobs that in areas where dust will be a nuisance.
