  • Great sander
When it comes to tools I prefer to buy quality. Yes the price is expensive compared to other cheap online choices. I bought the Makita 9031 1-1/8" x 21" Belt Sander due to a person using it for years grinding fiberglass on boats and how well it fit in tight places and matched the radius of areas being sanded. I have used mine with the 100 grit belt that came with it to grind on a boat, very pleased with how it works and the quality of the belt. The only thing I had an issue with is the lock botton making the trigger stay on. It is in an easy location to push or bump and that is what I seemed to do more often than I prefer. I was working in awkward positions so after paying more attention to what I doing and how I held the sander I no longer had any problems with it. Very happy how it works, especially for the radius fit. I removed the "helper handle" on the end as it just gets in the way. ... show more

I work on boats. Andy, on boatworkstoday, recommended this product. It's not cheap, or inexpensive. It is, however, an awesome tool. It is also unique in belt size. For boats, auto, home, this belt sander will save you time, which is money. It will also help you get more professional results. 100 percent recommend. ... show more

  • Misrepresented product.
Pictures show tool with English writing. It’s not. Is not made for north America market and gives no warning that transformer is required to operate it on 120volts as it uses 100volts. Its shipping wasn’t a long time, so I didn’t realize that it was a foreign market product. It has been opened by seller with original manual, removed and photocopied English version added. It was intentionally marketed by seller to deceive. There are legitimate sellers on eBay that sell this product from Japan that is intended for North America market with proper voltage of 120volts and English markings on tool for the same price. So no need to deceive, just get the right product to sell in the right market. ... show more

  • Outstanding tool other than the dust collection port
After 6+ months of regular use, this has become one of my favorite tools. The speed adjustment, quality of the tool, the noise level, ergonomics, materials, how easily the belts change, etc. are all absolutely perfect, and well worth the price. For working with wood, metal, and fiberglass (boats), this is an invaluable tool that you won't know how you lived without. Especially if you work with fiberglass boats, the ability to quickly sand an inside radius or feather surfaces quickly and cleanly is a game-changer. There is one significant problem with the design: If you plan to use the dust collection, you will likely have to remove a roll pin and cover, as well as make a male-to-male adapter to get a hose onto the thing. This is assuming you already have the small euro-style shop vac hoses. If you have the typical 7/8"-1.5" shop vac and hoses, you are going to need a mess of adapters. I do not understand why Makita didn't include an adapter or come up with a better design for the dust collection. The dust collection is the main reason I spent 10x on this unit versus the similar generic tool I had been using previously. Makita seems to have designed this tool to take a very small hose that would go *inside* the dust collection port. I have been unable to find a hose that would work for this use. I'm still very happy with the tool overall! ... show more

  • Works as advertised
Seems to be well built. Bought it to grind a crack under the bottom of a fiberglass boat, it did a good job.

  • Pricy and worth every penny
I was looking at this for awhile. The price made me flinch a bit. I was at a point in my boat construction where I had to clean up a lot of the joints I had made with epoxy. This was the perfect tool. It did a great job and also I was able to do detail work where the big sanders wouldn't fit. It also could take off any high screw heads as the belts handle metal. I use the end to shape rounded joints and the flat for surfaces. All in all it saved me hours.. I wish it was variable speed as it can be very aggressive even with fine grit belts.. ... show more
