 "Buffer" 2007-03-08
By Barry Brodfuehrer
This is a great product. The Best Worth every dime. It's a work horse.

 "Amazon good...Makita bad." 2006-08-14
By K. Wojcinski
The buffer really worked great when I finally got to use it. It did not come as advertized with the hook and loop backing pad. After contacting Makita and getting no where, Amazon agreed to send me another buffer. Unfortunately for me, it too came packaged incorrectly. So, after some discussion Amazon agreed to credit my account the amount of money necessary to buy the backing pad.

 "Thrilled with this sander! Amazing dust collection!" 2009-09-20
By Friend (Wisconsin)
I needed to resurface a cupped and warped porch deck, a bigger job than my PC rotary sander could handle. I decided on this sander. I initially bought a Ryobi from Home Depot figuring I wouldn't need to use it a lot, but then returned it unopened after I pictured myself using a broken down crappy tool in a couple years. After reading many reviews I decided on this sander. I am really happy I paid $[...] bucks more for a much higher quality tool. Tracking is perfect. Power is very good. DUST COLLECTION IS UNBELIEVABLE! After a few minutes on the porch I realized there wasn't any sawdust, yet the paint was coming up. A few more minutes and I checked the bag...the bag was nearly half full! It captured almost everything! I love this sander! This is one of those tools that you will be happy you spent a little more money on and you will use for many years to come.

 "perfect belt sander" 2009-08-21
By J. Perry
I have owned this sander for a few months. Bought it for remodeling work I'm doing to my house but I also have a little work shop where I make boxes and some furniture. This sander has pretty well taken up residence in one of my wood vise. I use it alot in my shop. The belts stay on track and variable speed is really nice. I have a large 6X24 belt sander but it really doesn't get any attention anymore. I would recommend one of these in place of a stationary sander as it is so versatile.

 "great belt sander" 2009-04-16
By edward ah toong (Hawaii)
I purchased the Makita 9903 belt sander to remove paint from my home that I am repainting. I am totally happy with my purchase. The variable speed control and the belt tracking are perfect. I had an old Sears belt sander that doesn't compare to the Makita.

 "Pretty good" 2009-03-28
By orangekay (San Francisco, CA United States)
This sander has plenty of power for its size, and the vacuum bag actually sucks up quite a bit of the dust without spraying it right back in your face. Tracking is decent and the fact that the right side and top are flat and ready to be clamped down to any available surface makes it great for occasional bench sanding.



What I don't like is how off-balance it is--it really likes to roll toward the left on account of the motor's weight and it's pretty hard to tell whether or not you're holding it level until it's too late. Compound this problem with the fact that the optional sanding shoe/frame is both $114 extra AND discontinued and you've got some pretty heavy cons. I made my own frame out of 3/4" MDF, but it's obviously pretty heavy and not especially durable.



I also have a problem with the placement of the speed adjustment knob--it gets coated in dust almost instantly and becomes impossible to read without a shot of compressed air. I worry about how long it will last before the potentiometer fizzles out.



There seem to be an awful lot of reviews of belt sanders from all manufacturers where customers complain about Amazon shipping them a used unit as new. I too suspected this had happened to me upon opening the box as mine was covered in what appeared to be sawdust. A closer inspection however revealed that this was in fact just cardboard that had gotten sanded by the belt as the unit was thrown around during shipping. No harm, no foul.



If you plan on doing a lot of leveling, I'd consider the DeWalt as you can pick up their frame just about anywhere. Otherwise, there's quite a bit of bang for your buck here. It looks boxy and awkward, but those bad looks really add to the versatility of the machine.



UPDATE: Just talked to Makita on the phone and they confirmed that the sanding shoe accessory is no longer being made by anyone and they have no plans to design or produce a replacement model. Boo.

 "Ordered a new one, amazon shipped it used" 2009-01-30
By Robert W. Whelan
Looked like a good product, but was clearly used and the belt was worn so I returned it. Amazon won't let you exchange this product, so I ordered another. If it is used as well, I'll be dissapointed. So far I've ordered 3 powertools on Amazon and all have been clearly used, and some missing parts. I'm giving them one last shot. Beware.

 "Makita 1/3 sheet finish sander" 2010-03-25
By Joey the K (New Jersey)
Very low vibration, quiet, and smooth. This sander is a winner. You just can't go wrong with a Makita sander.

 "great sander" 2009-10-01
By R. Hellmer (Topeka, USA)
I have had this sander for about 2 years and love it. I've used PC, DW and Makita 1/4 sheet finish sanders for years now and finally stepped up to a 1/3 sheet. The difference is amazing. Vibration on this is negligible and it is quite, smooth and powerful. Dust collection is surprisingly effective, although not perfect and the included punch plate is simple but effective. I would say that this sander performs much closer to a good half-sheet at 1/3 the cost. And I'm comparing this to my dad's Milwaukee 1/2 sheet (which is amazing, but expensive). If you are sanding panels all day, go for the half sheet but for the home shop or even small industrial I would say this sander is a great investment. For just a little more than a 1/4 sheet sander, you get way more sander, I'd say more than you pay for.

 "Expected More From Makita" 2007-10-09
By Jack
This is my second 1/3 sheet Makita sander. My first is still running but the pad wore out and a replacement pad cost $40 so I decided to buy this new one. My biggest disappointment was how easy it is to accidentally hit the button and turn it off while working, yet it can also be difficult to get it to pop in and stay on. Both of these problems would have been avoided with a switch instead of a button. The levers for attaching the paper are also very heavy duty and require a lot of pressure to open. Otherwise it seems to work very much like my first one than ran for many years, over thousands of feet of wood.

 "Great hand sander" 2007-03-08
By Carl B (Arvada, CO)
1/3-sheet sanders are becoming scarce, but this one is clearly the best of the lot. I had a Black & Decker before, but it finally died after over 15 years of service. I don't know if this Makita will last that long. But, while it lasts, it is so much quieter and more efficient at sanding that I could never go back to a B&D. The dust collecting bag works well and the unit doesn't leave your hand vibrating after you use it (the B&D's do).

 "Great Sander with a Great Price!" 2006-11-06
By P. Ahal (Menomonee Falls, WI)
We love Makita tools and were impressed by the great price through Amazon.

The sander is fantastic and especially like the attached dust bag. Definitely would by Makita again.

 "ADAPTED TO SHOP VAC" 2010-03-24
By BELT SANDER (INDIANA)
THIS IS GREAT PRODUCT. I WAS ABLE TO FIND AN ADAPTER TO FIT MY SHOP VAC.

NOW I CAN DO BIG JOBS AS IN WOOD FLOORS WITHOUT STOPPING. MY ONLY PROBLEM

I WISH THE SANDING BELTS WOULD LAST LONGER.

 "Makita 4x24 VS belt sander" 2007-09-10
By J. Reyman
This unit is relatively quiet, and thanks to makita's efficient and powerful motors acts stronger than its amperage rating. Belts change quickly and easily, and variable speed control lets you select the best speed for the job. Another great feature is the 16' cord, allowing for maneuverability not found in most corded powertools. The dust bag is also removable. Works great. If you don't buy this, a Bosch should be your next choice.

 "Excellent Sander" 2006-12-10
By SoCalJoe (Southern Cal)
Purchased this sander from Toolbarn after suffering with my old Dewalt DW433. The saw was delivered in a three days in excellent condition. This sander sounds ten times quieter than the Dewalt it replaced. Smoooth and powerfull. Excellent dust collection. Best belt sander I've every used - including several Porter Cables, which are much hearview and noisier.

 "Not as Cracked UP" 2006-07-08
By M. Schiller
This sander is clearly meant for a left handed operator. The support inside the dust bag is in the way for a right handed person. I had the misfortune of buying this reconditioned from Makita and honestly it looks more Used than reconditioned. Twice before I have bought Reconditioned tools from DeWalt and they both were delivered as practically brand new. Not so with this Makita. I believe that I may return it and go for the Porter Cable. Even though the PC is heavier the ergonomics seem better for me.

 "Wonderful sander" 2004-08-31
By Jim (Virginia)
Nice and light, and the 4" width is great for leveling 4" wide lumber. Dust collection is better than average. I love the belt tracking adjustment and the variable speed. Slow speed is almost like hand blocking, high speed really takes off lots of material. I've had it about a year now. The other 4 X 24 belt sander that I have used is the Porter Cable 362, but it weighs 20 pounds and it's like sanding with a Buick. Don't even think about using the Porter Cable on a vertical surface. The makita weighs about 8 pounds I think. Only improvement would be to include a case, but none of the belt sanders that I looked at had a case. The 9404 is hard to find in stores, I had to order it from Tool Crib. You won't be dissapointed. If you want a really light and mobile sander, the 5 pound Makita 9911 can't be beat, but it uses 3X18 belts and I like the 4" width. Makita belt sanders seem quieter than most.
