Ergonomics
Customers are highly satisfied with the ergonomics of the Makita 9404/2 Belt Sander. They appreciate its adjustable belt alignment and comfortable design, which allows for long usage hours without vibration. Some users have noted that while the tracking is sensitive, it is self-correcting and sets easily once adjusted. A small issue with the tool not stopping when the trigger is released has resulted in a few damaged parts but these are readily available to replace.

Dust Control
Customers have generally positive opinions regarding the dust control of the Makita 9404/2 Belt Sander, with some mentioning that it collects a significant amount of dust effectively when connected to a good extractor. However, a few customers noted that the sander produces minimal dust on its own or when used in conjunction with a decent dust extractor. Overall, the sander is considered powerful and effective for sanding various surfaces, but some users have reported issues with the unit overheating during prolonged use.
Highlights
Quality
I totally recommend this particular belt sander as the build quality feels like it's going to last forever.
This is a very high quality and powerful tool that very quickly removes material.
Purchased this as a replacement and it ploughed through the job for 10 days.
I was using a festool belt sander on a job and it died after one day.
Price
Come on makita for £258 you could have chucked even a basic one in.
I'm quite a beginner so getting something this expensive was a bit of a leap of faith.
So i took heed and bought one though it was twice the price.
Shipping
Item received in good time and in good order.
Competitiveness
Having messed around with all kinds of hand held sanders, this makita is the real deal.
