Belt sander recommendations?

[WoodED]

All I can say is.....WOW!

 

Thanks for the advice, and as a result I got the Makita. Collected it today and had a play tonight on some walnut. Brill!

 

Thanks for all your input, it cost me more than I intended but I'm a very happy bunny:thumbup:

 

the 9403? good man!

I'm sitting with my carpenter friend just now and he says Bosch

That wouldn't be a great idea , trust me

To be honest, I do have plenty of bosch gear and Ive always got on well with it. I like the idea they have of splitting the "blue" stuff from "green", that seems to give a basic idea of how much to expect from their products.

 

Turns out this time, this thread was like a voting system. The makita got most hits, it wasnt the only reason I bought it, but was also the best choice in the shop I bought it from too, and they sold Ryobi and Bosch too.

 

Very happy with how its performed on the bit Ive played with so far.

Now that Bosch have apparently abandoned their 100mm sander in favour of a 75mm sander, you could just point out to him that the Makita has 25% greater sanding area, a belt speed of 500m/min compared with 330m/min and has a 1200w motor compared to 750w. I'm sure that he will then see the error of his way.
