Makita BO6030 2.7 Amp 6-Inch Random Orbit Variable Speed Sander with Cloth Dust Bag

Amps: 2.7, Disc Diameter (in.): 6, OPM: 4,000 - 10,000, Tool Length (in.): 12 1/8, Dust Bag Included: Yes
Customer Review: Nice tool
This is a well-priced, dependable sander. It's not dust-free, but the dust bag reduces the dust substantially and is very easy to get on and off to empty. There's nothing fancy about this tool, but it does a good job and hasn't let me down. My only complaint is that can be difficult to find the sanding discs.
Customer Review: not bad at all
I have the Bosch 3727 6" sander and this Makita is as good as that is..it also offers an extra hole for dust collection that is placed in the center of the disc to pick up anything that collects there..I love the Bosch because of the extremely low vibration along with a nice swirl free finish and this Makita delivers the same plus it comes with two sets of six dust collection holes for a total of twelve in the pad with the option of using sanding discs with the dust collection holes either on the extreme outside rim or a little more towards the center which is what the Bosch has. I think the holes which are located way out on the rim are for makita sanding discs and the disc that comes with the sander has those holes and works better than my standard discs which I see on all the other sanders out there..short of buying the Festool this and the Bosch are both next in line and cost less too..
