BO4556/2 220-240V Finishing Sander (Not a standard UK plug)

The Makita BO4556/2 220-240V Finishing Sander Is an excellent product, which is no real surprise, has Makita’s build quality is beyond reproach. It does exactly what it’s designed to do. I’ve used this many, many times and it’s still going strong and looks like new. Brilliant sander.

I bought this as a replacement for an old sander and it is a much better bit of kit and easier to use. The vibration is not nearly so stong which makes holding it more comfortable. It comes with a few sanding sheets but I bought some rolls of different grade sandpaper from Amazon anyway. The rolls are about 115mm wide so perfect fit, you just have to cut the length, fit to the sander then push the template through it to make the holes. It was so easy, I've cut lots of pieces of sandpaper ready to fit as and when I need them. I've used it to sand down a window sill and my husband used it on the garage door and both ended up with a great finish. Sanding down is a job I do not look forward to but it was no problem at all, in fact is was so powerful that the job was done really quickly. The dust collection bag is not great and you will still get quite a lot of dust but all sanders are like that and it's better on than off. I would definitely recommend this sander.

I had a bosch sander and I always struggled to get a good quality finish, but this makita is so high quality and easy to use. It saves me time and effort. The finish on the wood is so professional and neat. My only regret is not buying it sooner!

This is just powerful enough to deal with furniture, doors, stairs and other small surfaces. It might take a bit longer than a more powerful orbital sander on Medium sized surfaces, but it's very good for it's size. Easy to load with sand paper - the clips are not difficult. Easy to hold. Really good for the price. I don't think I would've needed to spend more.

I love this sander so why only 4 stars...here's why.. Pro's: very powerful....cheap for the quality and power it provides (yes there are cheaper ones out there but not at this quality for under £50) Con's: very short cord....come on Makita...a decent length cord would be great. The hole piercer for the sanding pads could the better...the hole size it produces is pitiful and impacts on the dust collection ability. You need to add some pre pierced sanding sheets to your purchase for the best results. The size of the dust exhaust is tiny which means that you must use the dust bag as you can't find an adaptor for a vacuum. No case (Ok I shouldn't expect a case for under £50 but one would have been nice.) This is a great sander but it could have been so much better...this is why quality brands like Makita lose out to cheaper knock offs. However I still prefer brands like this knowing that I'll still be using their tools in 10 or 15 years and not having replaced then 3 or 4 times.

Love this tool, I use it for upcycling furniture projects mainly, its easy to use, easy to empty, easy to fit new paper and comes with a plastic punch to create the necessary holes to allow and dust to be drawn into the collection bag. The cable is good quality and of reasonable length, the base fits the normal rolls of abrasive paper in DIY shops so only one cut is needed to get a good fit. The switch means that you dont need to squeeze any trigger during use, Wear a mask and ear protection with this it is loud and still puts out a lot of dust very quickly.

So Mother wanted her 30year old solid pine kitchen table sanding down. She'd painted the legs of it at some point and the top was a bit bashed with the original coating of oil or varnish or both? I started off with a 100 grit paper but soon realised I better use the harsher stuff and got the lowest 60 grit. I found the sandpaper easy to replace and the machine great. The table what mainly square in shape and it did the job great. I'm looking forward to sorting out a few window sills with it

This is my first ever electric sander.. so easy to use.. I was concerned about putting the sandpaper in the clips but that was super easy and a joy to do because it really is simple.. I’m not sure what the punch plate is for but I know it comes with one.. this sander feels like quality.. it is heavy enough to feel solid but not too heavy to use for a long period of time.. I’m really impressed..

Kann ich nur weiterempfehlen, jeder der ein gutes Ergebnis haben möchte sollte diesen Artikel erwerben hatte vorher viele Geräte von Bosch ich kann nur sagen Makita ist einfach besser in der Verarbeitung sowie Ersatzteillieferung. Die Anschaffung macht sich bezahlt.

Petite ponceuse robuste qui permet de faire des économies sur le papier abrasif, Celui-ci acheté en rouleau revient bien moins chère

I didn't write a review for this until I'd used it for about a year, but now that I put it through a lot of use and it's still working great I wanted to take the time to say it's very well made and does a good job even after it's not "new" anymore. I can really notice a difference between the amount of dust left on the board and around the work area by using the dust collector bag. It seems to help a lot and it's not a hassel to empty the bag either. It doesn't seem to require a perfectly fit piece of sandpaper if the piece you're using is a little more narrow than the width of the bottom of the sander it still works good. The vibration is not bad at all and it's not irritatingly noisy either. Just a nice little handy sander to have around to use.

Muy buena, buen precio y calidad

sehr vibrationsarmes Arbeiten und auch nach längerem Schleifen keine tauben Finger. Auch kleinere Ecken ausschleifen ist für den BO 4556 kein Problem. Schneller und einfacher Wechsel von Schleifpapier sowie ermüdungsarmes und geräuscharmes Arbeiten , rechtfertigen absolut den Kauf dieses Gerätes.
