MAXXT Electric 5mm Random Orbital Sander, Brushless 350W 3A Palm Sander, Multi-function Variable Speed Electric Corded Orbital Sanders Machine with 6Inch Sanding Pad, 10 Sanding Paper for Woodworking

I picked up this sander to save on having to run the air compressor for smaller sanding jobs where I'd normally use a 3M DA sander. I am someone who has a lot of tools, more so than most any sane person needs, and normally stick to the name brands out there. I can count on one hand how many power tools I have that are from a lesser known manufacturer. WIth that said, when I received this sander, opened it up, and inspected it, I was pretty darn pleased with the quality. About the only thing that isn't super high quality is the dust extraction hose, but I kind of expected that. At least it came with a hose. I had a project where I was refinishing a Turbo Chef oven, and thought this sander would be perfect for that project. Wow is all I can really say. It's super quiet at speeds 3 and below, and very smooth. I love that it has the paddle like a normal air DA sander, and it worked flawlessly. I did use dust extraction hooked to a small Shopvac using an additiona 10' hose, and the dust extraction was decent. I ran this sander for a couple hours while I prepped various parts and it was a pleasure to use. I'm glad I saved a few bucks and went with this sander, and will be putting it through another much larger project for an automotive refininishing job coming up soon. Based on how it performed for me during my most recent project, I'm fully confident it will do a great job. If you're looking for a good alternative to a DA sander and don't mind the cord, this is a great option.

I love that it has both a 5 and 6 inch sanding head. Compared to Rigid sander this one replaced, it vibrates so much less than my old one which helps eliminate swirling. It's also much faster and had no issue bogging down even on broad end grain. The dust collection pretty good, it was very convenient that it came with it's own hose to hook up to the shop vac. I have noticed a bit of dust build-up around where the sanding head attached to the sander itself, but this might be because I only have it connected to a shop vac with a dust separator and not a higher end dust extractor or dust collector. I've had this sander for about a week, it's gotten a solid 10 hours of use on cherry, plastic and epoxy and I love it so far with no real complaints. The only thing I would consider even a slight complaint is the provided sand paper hardly lasted a few minutes before all of the grit rubbed off of it, but that's not even something worth considering overall.

When it worked, it worked great, best sander I've gotten to use. Then the paddle contact part failed on me, turns on, just doesn't rotate. Contacted customer support, gave them all the information they asked for, said it was under warranty and that they will send a return label to have it replaced. A month later and nothing has been emailed to me. I've sent some follow up emails asking about it and still no response. Not happy.

I've used a number of popular orbital sanders but I bought this one as an upgrade. This thing is fantastic. It's so much quieter than my Ridgid and much more adjustable and comfortable to use. The switch is sturdy and works well. It doesn't buck like some sanders do when they kick on... It quickly spools up, which is a nice touch. I wouldn't say it weighs any less but is well balanced. The shop vac when hooked up does a good shop of grabbing most of the saw dust. Not much of any cleanup needed. Great sander for the money. Don't go cheap on sanders because almost every wood project you do you have to use it. It's one of the most used tools in your shop even if you hate using it.

I bought this sander after watching a ton of YouTube videos about it. I have an inflammatory disease that causes extreme pain in my hands, so I bought this to help. It really has very low vibration and helps to avoid "the tingles" felt after long sanding sessions. You really could operate it by holding a pencil eraser-side-down on it. That stated, my expectations may have been too high, because I was expecting it to work like magic after the videos I watched. It's not a bad sander; it just didn't cut through stock like I saw on some of the videos. It sands down at about the same rate as my regular, cheap orbital sander. I was also concerned about longevity, so I paid for the 4 year extended warranty plan. So all-in-all: Pros: - Very, very low vibration - Comfortable to use - No problems with swirl/squiggle marks on your work - Adjustable speed settings - The dust hose works surprisingly well Cons: - Pricey - The dust hose connector does not fit my small or large shop vacs or dust collector All in all I'm going to keep it. But I would not make a purchase this pricey without the extended warranty.

The Max XT 5" orbital sander is the best sander I have ever purchased! This is the first sander that hooks up to my dust collector. I never realized how much dust was left on the wood I was sanding. The sand paper I use lasts much longer. I also like the speed adjustment that is highlighted by a light bar on the top of sander. Another good feature is the on/off paddle on top of the sander. Lift your hand and the sander turns off. This sander has the longest cord I have ever seen on a sander. I haven't measured it but it is easily over 10 feet! The only down side of the sander,(and could be just me) is that with the air hose and the cord the sander are a bit heavy for my 76 year old hands. Yep, this was a good purchase. I forgot the con about this sander was the sand paper. The sample they included is much better than all the sand paper I have purchased in the past. Now I always compare the sanding job with the ones I have done with their sand paper and I am a bit sad...

Uno dei fattori che ho trovato particolarmente positivi riguardo a questa levigatrice orbitale è la sua facilità di utilizzo. Grazie alla sua forma ergonomicamente studiata e alla leggerezza, la levigatrice è molto maneggevole e facile da controllare. Inoltre, l'interruttore on/off è ben posizionato e facile da raggiungere, permettendoti di accendere e spegnere la macchina con facilità. Questo rende la levigatrice ideale anche per coloro che non hanno molta esperienza nell'utilizzo di questo tipo di attrezzature. Inoltre, l'efficacia della levigatrice orbitale è veramente notevole. Grazie alla sua potenza e alla velocità di rotazione, la macchina è in grado di rimuovere facilmente le imperfezioni sulla superficie da levigare, come vernice scrostata, graffi, o segni di sega. Anche con dischi di levigatura più grossolani, la macchina riesce a produrre una finitura liscia e uniforme sulla superficie. Un'altra caratteristica che ho apprezzato molto riguarda la durata dei dischi di levigatura. Anche se si tratta di un prodotto usa e getta, questi dischi possono durare a lungo grazie alla loro resistenza e qualità. Inoltre, la confezione che include dischi di diverse grammature rende la levigatrice molto versatile, permettendoti di adattare la macchina a diversi materiali e superfici. Infine, devo sottolineare che la levigatrice è abbastanza silenziosa, il che significa che puoi usarla senza disturbare troppo chi ti circonda. Questo è un punto a suo favore, soprattutto se stai lavorando in un ambiente domestico o in un luogo pubblico.

A recent job was sanding and refinishing 12 scaffold board tables for a wedding venue. I started off with my Makita 125mm orbital and immediately realised it was going to take months. I researched orbital sanders and found that what I needed was an aggressive 5.0mm orbit with a low profile handle for comfort. Mirka was the go to tool but its price was prohibitive. The Maxxt had all good reviews and seemed to fit the bill at a good price. When it came I set it up with 80 grit mesh and attached a Trend shop vac. This is what I found: 1. So, so quiet. 2. So comfortable. I did a 6 hour stint and I was a little tired but non of that tingly vibration thing that aches your wrist and weakens your grip. 3. About 95% less dust than my old sander. 4. Clears through the wax varnish and stain to the bare wood in a quarter of the time. 5. It still produced a super fine finish when I put a 180 grit mesh on to finish. So, one of my better purchases and nothing disappointing about it. I would advise you use the mesh type sanding discs with it, they last and you don’t have to bother trying to line up the holes in the pad. It almost makes sanding fun. Almost.

Medium to low works really well, low vibration for the wrists, ultra quiet with good dust extraction. Using it for the the cut before buff of my classic car paint job. Low speed is very effective. high speed i don't think i would ever use... to loud and vibraty. The hose end is smaller odd ball size requiring electrical tape to shop vac hose. Hose adapter would make it more easily switchable for other vac accessories.

Muy práctico y ligero aguanta buen las jornadas de trabajo

I'm posting this mainly to address some comments about the dust extraction parts. As you can see in the photos the hose connects to the sander outlet and the adapter connects to the hose at the other end which works with my CEN-TEC extraction fittings. The hose is a very tight fit, it looks to be the same diameter as the coupler and the sander outlet but this is just to give you a tight fit. It is possible that some purchasers didn't get the hose in the box which would certainly cause confusion! I've only used the sander briefly but it seems to be really good, certainly better than my older Orbitals and probably on a par with the much more expensive 3M unit it seems to copy.
