This Makita finishing sander offers versatile speed control for various sanding tasks. With 12,000 orbits per minute, it's ideal for large or rough surfaces. For smaller applications like wood edge sanding or metal deburring, 8,000 orbits per minute is suitable, preventing over-sanding. For paint removal on metal surfaces where high speeds could cause melting, 4,000 orbits per minute is recommended. The sander features a large rubberised clamping lever for quick paper installation and removal, and is compatible with pad 19430-6 for hook and loop paper fastening. It has a 3-stage electronic speed control, tool-less paper clamps, and a detachable front grip for sanding into corners. Integrated dust extraction allows connection to Makita Dust Extractors without an adapter. Please note: Not compatible with G-Series batteries. Weight: 10.14 pounds.
