Flat Door Panels & Glueups October 15, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I finally replaced my Craftsman 4x24 which self-destructed after 25 years of faithful service. I am asking myself why I waited. The Makita has as much power, is smoother and more predictable. I use it to smooth out glueup panels for cabinet doors. Belt tracking and running smoothly are very important factors for a flat door panel. This machine tracks smoothly with the grain, across the grain and at an angle to the grain. It is controllable one-handed. Dust collection is superior to the Craftsman and other belt sanders I have used in the past. The long cord (over 10') is a joy. Most of the time I don't need an extension cord. Ergonomically, it is an ambidextrous dream. There is plenty of power to handle 50-60 grit belts and I don't get the jerky feeling so many sanders give when under full load. Starting w/o digging in and creating divots is a thing of the past. The tool is unbelievably quiet. My ears thank me. A smooth and controllable machine equals smooth panels. Feel tempted to use this on finished furniture - but - that is not its place. If you want to create a lot of sanding dust, really quickly, this is the machine for you. Based on what I see so far, I believe this will go better than 20 years in a hobbyist's shop w/o being a paperweight in your storage cabinet. The quality is far superior to anything I ever got from Craftsman. For those who love DeWalt, Porter-Cable or one of the others on the market - this is the Lexus of sanding machines. Any difference in price is insignificant over 20 years. This will never be the machine you hate everytime you use it.

I'm a hobbyist woodworker who makes furniture from solid hardwood, mostly black ash, oak, and maple. This involves gluing up a lot of panels of varying sizes, all of which need to be sanded. This sander was purchased to replace a 4X2l Craftsman which didn't collect a scintilla of dust and was a real "screamer". This tool is a comparative joy to use. It's surprisingly quiet, has wonderful dust collection, great balance and lots of power. Tracking is flawless, and its weight adds to the ease of sanding horizontal surfaces. The long cord is a nice feature as well. Don't buy this unit if you're going to sand vertically, though. It's too heavy. But for heavy duty sanding applications of horizontal work, this thing is a winner. I'd buy it again in a New York minute. If you need a good belt sander, you need this one.

This tool replaced a belt sander by Black and Decker that was bought in 1975. When it totally died recently, I went to my favorite tool maker, Makita. The specifications on this sander were good, the price was better than most others, and the reviews were excellent. My only misgiving is that it is heavy. I have a wood carving and sculpture business and most of the work could be done with something smaller.
Best belt sander I've ever tried.... November 9, 2006

The Makita 4x24 is a workhorse with all the power you'll ever need in a belt sander. It also has a very comfortable feel to it and is very easy to use. The bag collects dust better than any other model I've tried and being able to reposition it with the swiveling fitting is a major plus. I've also tried the Dewalt and a Bosch, and there is no comparison in the products; the Makita works best,hands down.
Best belt sander ever. July 26, 2006

I bought this sander for heavy duty sanding of hickory. it is very quiet. Has enough power, if using 40 grit paper, that it pulls so hard it wore out my employees. The tracking is top quality. The long power cord is a plus. I own over 2 dozen Makita tools and this won't disappoint.
