I have makita orbital sander BO5041 5-Inch. I would recommend you to buy orbital sanders, because these sanders can make many projects much easier and in my case for works I do I would prefer orbital sanders rather than any other tools. The key part that makes an orbital sander so good at the job it does, is the way in which the sanding pad rotates on the ball-bearing. This is where the “random” nature of this tool comes in handy. It’s super flexible, easy to use, and has a comfortable handle. It has a passive dust collection system which you can use with your vacuum cleaner, so dust clean up isn’t a problem. It can be used for most sanding jobs, wood floors, furniture finishing, and polishing – making it a great, versatile tool to add to your collection. The only disadvantage is its price. Yes, I agree that is a little bit expensive, but is a tool, that you can use for years. It is better to pay once than to buy such an instrument every half year, and I say this from my own experience.If you have questions or do not know what is better to choose just watch here Bob Smith Tools and I'm sure you will find yours.
