Pros & Cons
Pros
This makita belt sander is a beast! It's a heavy piece (the box it came in was as heavy as the chinese unit i returned, if that's a clue) they are evenly matched with power and quality workmanship.
This sander is a beast when it comes to sanding wood slabs. It sands like 80 grit should. Dust collection works well. Great for the roughest grits but not for the final ones.
Cons
Makita 4x24 belt sander works fine, but the dust collector snapped off on the first day of use. Sandpaper rips from the friction against the inside of the belt.
The 9403 clearly had been used before. What kind of policy does amazon have when it comes to dealing with returned merchandise? The makita box it comes in is not a shipping box. Note on amazon return.
Highlights
Quality
High reliability, amazing dust collection, lots of power, what more is there.
I love the long cord, tracking is reliable and i'm a big fan of how i can sand right up against the edge of the wall.
We were using a rigid sander before and this makes the rigid feel like a cheap piece of plastic.
Over the course of 4 days i stripped 5-6 layers of paint from my wooden deck with this powerful tool.
Price
Easily worth the price when one considers the value of their time saved.
For the prize, this sander is well worth every penny, and is heavy duty and gets the job done.
It is worth spending the money for piece of mind.
It is a bit pricey and fairly heavy.
Shipping
It arrived in 2 days and was ready to go on the project.
Competitiveness
I am so glad i went with this brand and not one of the cheaper brands to say some money.
I almost went with a cheaper version/different brand to save money.
Especially when comparing with other brands of same size.
The power and ease of use is nothing less than what i would expect from makita.
