  • Best tool for fiberglass repair
Bought this tool to clean up my filets on the stringers and works great better then hand sanding with a round durablock
Reviewed in the United States on August 16, 2026 by Amazon Customer

  • 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

  • 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

  • Did my job like a pro.
Be aware: this is the asian shelf model, nothing printed in English. That said, it's all available easy enough online. It did my job quickly like a pro. You need to wear a mask and protect things from dust. Works just like it should.

  • Beware of unscrupulous vendors and report them to Amazon.
I ordered this Makita 9031 belt sander believing the vendor’s description / specifications was correct. The listed voltage of 120V was in fact 100V. Very deceptive on vendor’s part just so he could sell his product without being honest with buyers. The 100V model of this product was manufactured by Makita for the Japanese market that uses a 100V electrical system, unlike the USA 120V electrical system. I called Makita headquarters in Southern California regarding this...they told me the vendor(s) should not be selling these in the USA market; Makita advised me to send item back to Amazon, which I have done, and filed a complaint with Amazon against vendor. There are several (4 or 5) vendors on Amazon that are selling the 100V models...don’t buy one from these unauthorized Makita vendors!! Vendor: Fun Fun Hobby Japan . If you have already purchased one of these, file a complaint with Amazon! ... 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

  • Need to buy the dust bag (PO 1225483) separately.
Best tool purchase in a long time. I waited a long time before purchasing one due to its obsurd price but it’s such a time saver for coping shoe or crown. It was a Japanese 100 amp model I got from here but it works fine on our American 110 outlets. I can cope a piece of shoe flawlessly without breaking out a coping saw in 5 seconds ( literally, we kept timing it) by just sanding it down with this. Dust blows right in your face unless you buy the belt sander bag for it. It’s Makita part no. 1225483 ... show more

  • Works like a charm
Bought to 'adjust' the lip of a cabinet to allow refrigerator to fit. Taped the area off and easily controlled the sander across the length of cabinet. Very controllable with the side handle and more then powerful to maintain the speed of the sandpaper band. Instructions are not in English, but operation is straight forward. ... show more
