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 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

User questions & answers

Question:	Que cargador y que batería usa
Answer:	The DCW210B will work with the DEWALT 20V line of batteries and chargers.
Question:	just purchased the dewalt cordless palm sander, after using for about 2 minutes, it shuts itself off. is this a defect or what
Answer:	Make sure your battery is fully charged. This brushless tools aren't as energy efficient as advertised. I use the little 2 Amp Hour XR batteries and I get a solid 30 to 35 minutes max of non stop sanding before I need to swap batteries. If you have still have your issue with a fully charged battery, return the unit.
Question:	Are there grits for this
Answer:	Most univeral 8 hole paper works fine. Get any grit you need.
Question:	What vacuums is it compatible with? i have dcv517m
Answer:	You can hook this up to any vacuum that uses a 1-1/4" nozzle (standard shop vac size) using ASIN B00CB216M6 and these clamps B00XAKHK2I (just search those codes, and you'll see the items).
Question:	Can you use this package - mestool 58-ap 100 per box include 60 80 120 150 and 220 grits that you offer with this particular sander
Answer:	I just ordered a pack of Mestool 120 grit for the sander. You just want to make sure the hole pattern of the discs line up with those in the sander’s pad.
Question:	replacment pad ? cant find one,help
Answer:	The replacement pad for the DWE6421 is part # N329079.
Question:	How long is the cord
Answer:	The cord is approximately 6.6' in length.
Question:	Can this be used to sand a car
Answer:	I don't know why not. We wear out at least two of these sanders a year in our shop and we use them to sand wood, plastic, aluminum, and steel daily, and sometimes other types of material as well. If you sand a car this sander would not be suitable for wet finish sanding as it is not sealed for that purpose.

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.
