Makita BO5031K — 5" Random Orbit Sander, variable speed, with Tool Case

Makita’s 5-Inch Random Orbit Sander with variable speed (model BO5031K), delivers fast, smooth performance with better grip and control. The BO5031K is ideal for woodworkers and finish carpenters who require a best in class random orbit sander. The BO5031K features a pad control system for controlled pad speed upon start up, with a powerful 3 AMP motor for continuous operation and 1/8-inch random orbit action. The sander includes a variable speed control dial (4,000 - 12,000 OPM) to match the sanding speed to the material. The BO5031K 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 BO5031K uses quick-change five-inch eight-hole hook-and-loop abrasive discs.
