Pros and cons

According to our sander expert

• You can use a random orbital sander for fine finishes as well as for sanding or polishing large or curved surfaces.
• You can control the sanding speed, thanks to the variable speed control.
• Thanks to the low vibration value of 4m/s, you hardly feel the vibrations in your arm, even during intensive sanding.
• With the 2m cord length, your freedom of movement is limited.

Description

With the Makita BO5031K you can smoothly sand all kinds of surfaces thanks to the powerful 300W motor. The random orbital sander is also light and compact enough to sand vertically. It generates a maximum of 24,000 oscillations per minute, but you can easily set it to a lower speed if necessary. In addition, it makes both rotating and oscillating movements (dual action), so you get results even faster. The BO5031K is also a good choice for longer jobs. Thanks to the low vibration value, your hands and arms don't get tired and you can keep sanding intensively without problems. In short, the BO5031K provides a very smooth sanding result.

Strong, handy machine

I have already used the machine a lot. Works very well. Takes off a lot when you put it on full power. Easily adjustable if you want to purchase less. Only drawback is that the dust collection connection leaks on all sides. I have never emptied the dust bag because it hardly goes in. (all channels open, just not a good seal where you open the dust bag to empty it.)

good device

The machine certainly meets the requirements, for dust removal I pushed a 3/4 PVC water hose onto the device and the other end fits into the vacuum cleaner hose.
No dust and the work goes smoothly.

A tool well worth its price!

• easy to handle
• sanding result and extraction
• bonding strength sanding pad
• no

I sanded the hull of my boat with it. So a lot of vertical work. Due to the low weight of the machine, this was easy to do. The result of the sanding was great with all the different grit sanding. The adhesion of the sanding discs to the sole was enormous, which is often disappointing with other machines.
This has been an excellent choice that was delivered quickly and accurately by Cool Blue.
