MAKITA BO5041 240v 5" Random Orbit Sander

Sanders take a lot of hassle out of tasks that, if done by hand, would potentially be laborious and time-consuming. It’s important to choose the type of Sander that meets your needs; our range includes Belt Sanders, which are generally used to prepare wood and other materials for finishing and Random Orbit Sanders, which use a fast cyclical motion to remove material from your workpiece and are designed to be easy to use on flat surfaces.

Once you know what kind of machine you need, what features should you be looking out for? One key feature is the tool’s No Load Speed; this tells you how fast it operates and is usually measured in revolutions per minute (RPM). Think about the kind of work you’ll be doing; a lower RPM rate gives you more control over the end result but can mean tasks take longer. You’ll also want to check how the paper is attached to the tool as “quick fit” attachments will generally make life easier. Finally, check whether a dust collection system is part of the sander, as this kind of work can generate a lot of debris.

It's also worth checking before clicking the ‘Buy Now’ button that you’re looking at a machine which operates at the voltage you need; ToolStore UK sells Sanders in both 110v and 240v specifications.
