User questions & answers

Question:	How long is the cord
Answer:	The cord is approximately 80 inches from the tip of prongs of lug to insertion of cord on handgrip on sander.
Question:	Can you adjust the speed
Answer:	No.
Question:	is the item 220 Volts or 110 Volts? cuz in my country we use 220 Volts
Answer:	It's 110 volts but I think one can use an adaptor. I used an adabter for a 120 volt camera charger while I was in Europe.
Question:	What is the purpose of the plastic cylindrical device that slides on the cord
Answer:	It's a device called a ferrite core that reduces EMI (electromagnetic interference). Don't remove it, unless you want your family members to ban you from your workshop when they're watching tv. (Someone suggested that it was an antitheft device. Nice try, but no cigar.) Leave it alone!

Question:	what accessories come with the sander
Answer:	you get one 120 grit pice of sand paper and the dust collector with one disposable bag

User questions & answers

Question:	What is the amperage
Answer:	Says 1.7 amps on the sander data plate. Seems like the motor has a lot of power for that low of an amperage rating.
Question:	Is this a one-half sheet sander? If so, how does it compare with the Porter-Cable one

Question:	what are the width and depth
Answer:	It is a 1/3 sheet sander. The width is 1/3 of a standard sandpaper sheet. The length is a bit less because some of the sandpaper wraps around the ends to secure the sheet. I would the exact specs are listed with the tool.
Question:	is this an orbital sander; or is it straight line (back and forth

User questions & answers

Question:	Does it work with the older makita bl1815 18v 1.5ah lithium batteries
Answer:	This sander will not natively work with BL1815 batteries. I just found out the hard way today. The good news is, if you modify your BL1815 with a nail file and remove a small piece of plastic, it will fit, and it will work fine. This sander is meant to be used with batteries with a star on them, which offer some protections. If you decide to use the BL1815 do so at your own risk. I'm using it and I haven't had any problems, but your mileage will vary. If you search "modifying a BL1815 to work with newer tools" you will find videos and pictures that show you which small part of the battery you need to remove.
Question:	Where does the battery plug in to
Answer:	Good Question. The Battery slides onto the back, between the sander and the dust collector bag (as shown in pic).
Question:	What battery goes with the Makita Model XOB01Z
Answer:	When purchased as a kit (Model XOB01), the BL1830 3.0 Ah battery is included.
Question:	Can you use it as a car buffer and does it have attachments
Answer:	I have been using this sander as a car buffer for years on all my cars. I get the pads at Griots Garage or any other place. The Makita rep told me years ago that I could do this

User questions & answers

Question:	how many watts
Answer:	watts =amps x volts. So If it's 3 amps, multiply that by, say, 115 (for volts which will vary 110 to 120), and so you get 445 watts.
Question:	Can i use this sander as a polisher
Answer:	absolutely. The best car polishers are actually 9 or 10" random orbital sanders that run at low speed. I used to polish cars professionally for an old couple that blasted you if it wasnt perfect. The technique is as follows: - always apply to the PAD, not the car - set the buffer JUST above the surface, turn on, and JUST before it starts to really HUM, lightly touch down and let the weight of the sander dictate the running speed of the pad. The pad should initially be on the lowest setting. This requires a bit of a touch, but the goal is to prevent ALL your polish and wax from flying off the pad and making a mess. ALSO, you DONT want to start the polisher on the surface: 1) its bad for the motor to be under an added load like that . 2) on startup, motors produce a substantial amount of torque and before your polish is evenly spread, could REALLY, suddenly dig in and possibly scratch or gouge the really ridiculously soft clear coat that is used nowadays. - use best products available: 3M yields amazing results, Chemical Guys supposedly reproduces those results, but I havent used them yet and am unfamiliar with the entire line.
Question:	Does this model comes with whole punch plate like my quarter sheet Makita? Suggestions 5inch sander model that comes with a case and that whole punch
Answer:	No, this uses round discs that are pre punched with holes, you do not need the punch plate. I have the same quarter sheet Makita sander, this is a big step up in performance.
Question:	Does it support 220v
Answer:	No, it's 110V.

Question:	Where can I purchase the sanding shoe that is made to work with the Makita 9903 belt sander
Answer:	Good luck on that. It’s not on their website, so I don’t think they male it anymore.
Question:	What case would fit this sander

Question:	How well does the dust collection work
Answer:	No, it is 60hz. I looked at the sticker on mine to make sure and it says 60hz only
Question:	Is this belt or gear driven
Answer:	Mine arrived was made in Japan too. but it looked like someone swapped the internal parts. coz the oil was leaking from the belt roller housing and had a lot of saw dust right outta the box. so if you see these signs, send it back! amazon waits until you finds out! otherwise they just sold you a used item for new!update: the second shipment also was used.

User questions & answers

Question:	how easy is it to connect this to a shop-vac? What is the size/shape of the port on the sander than a shop vac hose would connect to
Answer:	Very easy with Ridgid Shop Vacs. Size and shape is a 7/8" outer diameter circle. To connect to Ridgid brand shop vacs, simply use a Carlon 3/4 in. PVC conduit box adapter from Home Depot's electrical department - the inner diameter is a direct fit for the sander's dust port and the outer diameter is a direct fit for the nozzle end of the 1-1/4 inch hoses. The conduit adapter is 50 cents and there is also a Ridgid 3-piece adapter kit for $8.50 to step down to the conduit adapter from the 2-1/2 inch hoses. No glue, no tape, no hose clamps - just press the adapter in and get to sanding.
Question:	How well does it collect dust when attached to vacuum system? I'm comparing this with Festool sander
Answer:	With a small shop vac, mine collects about 90 % of the dust...but needs frequent cleaning of the vac filters....depends on the material being sanded, and the sanding grit being used. With the vac tube open, the sander jets a stream of dust out of the chute. This is an excellent unit....but I have zero experience with Festool.....
Question:	The first picture shows a plastic type "dust bag," while the other pictures show a cloth type bag. Which bag is included? Does it fall off easily
Answer:	I bought mine about 6 months ago. The dust bag is cloth and the attachment does not fall off but could be better designed. I am on by 5th or 6th sander is about 15 years and all handled dust about the same. All of my previous sanders broke or stopped working after about a year and the 2 different Rigid models only lasted about 6 months. This is why I bought this more expensive model. So far it is working great.
Question:	How is the vibration on this sander, can you barely feel it
Answer:	Mine is a very low mileage model. But I can say it is a pleasure to use after having some low cost sanders in the past. I think, even with extended usage, the vibration level is low enough to not cause any stress from using it.
Question:	Is there anyway to get into corners or sand curves with this sander? Is that a problem
Answer:	Sanding curves is no problem but it won't get into enclosed corners
Question:	How long is the cord
Answer:	The cord is 6 ft. 5 in. long.
Question:	Will this work with bosch compatible papers? there is no mention of the correct paper to use, and no paper options mention b&d compatibility
Answer:	Yes. I ordered a box of Bosch papers (80 - 220 grain) and they work great with B&D.
Question:	Does the dust collector actually work or does it spew dust all over the place
Answer:	Spews dust ALL OVER THE PLACE !!.....I'm ready to send mine back.....the dust recovery system is flawed
