This 125mm cordless random orbital sander sands wood without a power cord. Its brushless motor runs efficiently. You get more power and longer run time from each battery charge. This tool works with your Makita 18V battery collection. Features and Benefits - Brushless motor - This motor keeps a steady speed under load. It also does not need carbon brush changes. - Variable speed control - You can set the speed from 8,000 to 12,000 OPM. This lets you match the speed to your material. - Random orbital action - The pad spins and moves in an orbit. This stops the swirl marks that other sanders can leave. - Onboard dust collection - It comes with a dust bag and a port. This helps keep your work area cleaner. Applications - Getting wood surfaces ready for paint, stain, or varnish. - Making body filler smooth or buffing a car's paint. - Doing final sanding on furniture and wood projects. What It Is This Cordless Random Orbital Sander is a versatile 125mm woodworking tool designed for Makita 18V batteries. It is a random-orbit sander, meaning its sanding pad moves in small circles while also rotating on its axis. This dual-action random orbital motion helps to prevent swirl marks on your workpiece, providing a smoother finish compared to traditional orbital sanders. As a cordless tool, it offers excellent portability and freedom of movement for various sanding tasks. Key Uses & Applications The Cordless Random Orbital Sander is primarily for woodworking and polishing applications. Its random orbit action makes it ideal for preparing surfaces for finishing, removing old paint or varnish, and smoothing rough timber. It can be used for feathering edges, levelling surfaces, and achieving a fine finish on wood. The 125mm pad size is suitable for a wide range of projects, from small furniture pieces to larger panels, offering a balance of coverage and control. How to Choose When selecting a random orbital sander, consider its power source and application. This model is battery-powered, offering cordless convenience for woodworking and polishing. The 125mm sanding pad diameter is a common and versatile size. Look for features like effective dust extraction to keep your workspace clean and improve sanding performance. Variable speed control, though not specified for this model, is also beneficial for adapting to different materials and tasks. Grit / Spec Guide For effective sanding with your 125mm random orbital sander, select the correct grit sandpaper. Start with a lower grit, such as 80 grit, for removing significant material, old finishes, or smoothing rough surfaces. Progress to a medium grit, around 150 grit, for further refinement and preparing the surface for finishing. Always move through grits systematically to avoid leaving deep scratches. The random orbital action helps minimise swirl marks, but proper grit progression is still essential for a professional finish. Care & Safety Always ensure the Cordless Random Orbital Sander is disconnected from its power source before changing sanding discs or performing maintenance. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including safety glasses and a dust mask, especially when sanding wood, to protect against dust inhalation. Keep the sanding pad clean and inspect it regularly for wear. Use the correct 125mm sanding discs for optimal performance and to prevent damage to the tool.
