Makita BO5030 — 5" Random Orbit Sander

Makita’s 5-Inch Random Orbit Sander (model BO5030) delivers fast, smooth performance with better grip and control. The BO5030 is ideal for woodworkers and finish carpenters who require a best-in-class random orbit sander. It features a pad control system for controlled pad speed upon start up, with a powerful 3 AMP motor for continuous operation, 1/8-inch random orbit action, and 12,000 OPM for fast and smooth sanding. The BO5030 is precision engineered with all ball bearing construction for longer tool life. Comfort and ease-of-use features include an ergonomically designed rubberized palm that fits like a glove with even pressure and easy control. The rubber sealed switch minimizes dust contamination and increases durability. The efficient through-the-pad dust collection system helps provide a cleaner work environment, while the fabric dust bag has an extra wide mouth for faster disposal. The BO5030 uses quick-change five-inch eight-hole hook-and-loop abrasive disc.
