- Reviewed in Canada on April 13, 2015Verified PurchaseI was not expecting to be so impressed and delighted with this sander so I decided to write this review. I work almost every day after my regular job repairing and refinishing all kind of furniture as a side business, so I do A LOT of sanding......I have a couple of older 1/2 sheet sanders and they are great for sanding large areas quickly but this smaller sander is almost as good. I was especially relieved to find out how well balanced it feels to use and how little vibration is transmitted to your hands. It is also super quiet. The sandpaper clamping mechanism is perfect and holds any grit securely but not so tight it tears. All in all this is a great sander - it feels solid and well built and is very reasonably priced. I was so happy with it that I am buying another one. No compensation whatsoever for this review was received.
- Reviewed in Canada on December 12, 2017Verified PurchaseI bought this based on other reviews and have several hours of use on it. I used 3 grades of paper on it to finish a maple table I am working on. There is so little vibration while sanding that you can easily read the fine print on the side label. Your hands will thank you.
The paper mount is speedy and requires no "futzing around" to get it lined up. Paper changes would typically only take about 30 seconds. It comes with a "hole punch plate" that pops holes in your paper to allow the dust collector system to work well with standard sandpaper sheets. I found very little dust escaped while doing flat surfaces. Edge sanding of 1" boards lets more dust into the air, but I expected that.
Would highly recommend
- Reviewed in Canada on July 24, 2017Verified PurchaseI highly recommend this sander to anyone. As a painter, when I am preparing decks, I am running sanders for 2+ hours at a time. This one never stopped working. I also have a Milwaukee sander which I never use thanks to this one. This Makita sander runs quieter, does a much better job, feels nice/comfortable when holding, and does not vibrate in your hands as much. The best thing I love about this sander is that it actually holds onto the paper. Other sanders tended to shift the paper after some use and then it would fall off. I lost so much time fighting with other sanders, that this one saves me both time and money.
- Reviewed in Canada on August 15, 2020Verified PurchaseGreat sander, easy to clamp sanding sheets into place. Clamps lock so well and not in the way of side panels if your are doing an interior area. Used this to sand replacement boards for a garden bench I was refurbishing. You can also buy an optional sanding base that can be used with sandpaper that has hook and loop on the backside. The Sander is a little noisy, but nowhere near my previous one that died. I am very happy with the purchase.
- Reviewed in Canada on July 4, 2015Verified PurchaseI am 56 years and have been a serious woodworker for 36 of those years. I have and still own many very good sanders ie.Porter Cable and Milwaukee. This sander at this price ranks at the top. The paper is very easy to change, it has smooth and almost vibration free sanding action, the tool is light but powerful, dust extraction is good, and most convenient is the instant on/off squeeze type trigger no need to wait for the sanding action to stop before setting it down and it also has a lock on button that is easy to activate. I have bought many Makita tools over the years and tools like this is the reason why.
- Reviewed in Canada on July 19, 2025Verified PurchaseThese things are rare as hens teeth in stores. It works great.
- Reviewed in Canada on October 10, 2019Verified PurchasePleased with the sander when I used it in my first project. Decent power and nice to handle. Dust bag takes away part of the sand. Really like the way the sand paper is clamped on - that part is well made. The item has fully met my expectations.
- Reviewed in Canada on August 2, 2024Verified PurchaseI didnt know I needed a sheet sander until I bought and used this! Nice to have in addition to a random orbital. The ergonomics are great and help achieve a flat, smooth finish. I kinda wish it had speed control but theres also something kind of nice about it being a simple on and off trigger.

5.0 out of 5 stars Makita Schwingschleifer BO3710
Verified PurchaseMakita Schwingschleifer BO3710 ist ein einfaches solides Produkt. Ich als Handwerk kann nur sagen das der Makita Schwingschleifer BO3710 ein gutes handliches Produkt ist. Selbst bei schwierigen Untergrnden funktioniert das Produkt sehr gut. Selbst mit Fremdabsaugung (Staubsauger) funktioniert der Makita Schwingschleifer BO3710 gut. Der kleine original Filtersack ist nur gering einsetzbar aber eine gute L?sung. Wenn es mal schnell gehen muss. Fazit: Der Makita Schwingschleifer BO3710 ist ein gutes Produkt fr jeder man und fast fr jeden Untergrund geeignet.

- LaurenReviewed in the United Kingdom on June 6, 2025
5.0 out of 5 stars Great piece of kit
Verified PurchaseManaged to sand down a whole newel post and get decades of nasty gloss off various things without the need for chemicals. My mother hates sanding, and she's a convert for this bit of kit. It doesn't cause vibrations in your hands after use, even when using for a couple of hours. It's a lightweight sander, but packs enough punch for the job. The square plate lets you get in those nooks where a mouse sander doesn't quite get in.
Highly recommend, and think it's good value for money if you have a few projects on the go that need a sander - just make sure you get the right sized sanding sheets if getting refills, as you need to fold the ends over the plate to lock them in place.

5.0 out of 5 stars Tan buena que es la segunda que me roban...
Verified PurchaseGenial lijadora, aunque sea para detallado, con una lija de grano 40 o 60 limpia las maderas como si usaras lijadora de banco.
Makita es sinnimo de calidad y ms con este modelo que la primera vez que lo compre fue hace 10 a?os, esn tan fcil de usar que entren a la chica de facturacin de la empresa, dice que le sirve de terapia y relajacin para las manos, de tanto tiempo con el mause y teclado la entiendo un poco.
En fin, cualquier lijadora de Makita, ya sea sta o alguna orbital les servir, pero recuerden que es para acabados, as que procuren no sobre-esforzarla.
Definitivamente comprare otra, ahora que me la han vuelto a robar.
