MAXXT Electric 5mm Random Orbital Sander, Brushless 350W 3A Palm Sander, Multi-function Variable Speed Electric Corded Orbital Sanders Machine with 6Inch Sanding Pad, 10 Sanding Paper for Woodworking

I picked up this sander to save on having to run the air compressor for smaller sanding jobs where I'd normally use a 3M DA sander. I am someone who has a lot of tools, more so than most any sane person needs, and normally stick to the name brands out there. I can count on one hand how many power tools I have that are from a lesser known manufacturer. WIth that said, when I received this sander, opened it up, and inspected it, I was pretty darn pleased with the quality. About the only thing that isn't super high quality is the dust extraction hose, but I kind of expected that. At least it came with a hose. I had a project where I was refinishing a Turbo Chef oven, and thought this sander would be perfect for that project. Wow is all I can really say. It's super quiet at speeds 3 and below, and very smooth. I love that it has the paddle like a normal air DA sander, and it worked flawlessly. I did use dust extraction hooked to a small Shopvac using an additiona 10' hose, and the dust extraction was decent. I ran this sander for a couple hours while I prepped various parts and it was a pleasure to use. I'm glad I saved a few bucks and went with this sander, and will be putting it through another much larger project for an automotive refininishing job coming up soon. Based on how it performed for me during my most recent project, I'm fully confident it will do a great job. If you're looking for a good alternative to a DA sander and don't mind the cord, this is a great option.

Seems very well built. Vibration is minimal. Very long cord which is awesome. Overall very happy with it.

I love that it has both a 5 and 6 inch sanding head. Compared to Rigid sander this one replaced, it vibrates so much less than my old one which helps eliminate swirling. It's also much faster and had no issue bogging down even on broad end grain. The dust collection pretty good, it was very convenient that it came with it's own hose to hook up to the shop vac. I have noticed a bit of dust build-up around where the sanding head attached to the sander itself, but this might be because I only have it connected to a shop vac with a dust separator and not a higher end dust extractor or dust collector. I've had this sander for about a week, it's gotten a solid 10 hours of use on cherry, plastic and epoxy and I love it so far with no real complaints. The only thing I would consider even a slight complaint is the provided sand paper hardly lasted a few minutes before all of the grit rubbed off of it, but that's not even something worth considering overall.

When it worked, it worked great, best sander I've gotten to use. Then the paddle contact part failed on me, turns on, just doesn't rotate. Contacted customer support, gave them all the information they asked for, said it was under warranty and that they will send a return label to have it replaced. A month later and nothing has been emailed to me. I've sent some follow up emails asking about it and still no response. Not happy.

Has worked well for the money. Pad burns out quickly and replacement is fairly loud. Still works great tho

You don’t need a Festool Rotex!!! The best wood working investment I’ve made. It removes material and dust like a champ. I’ve been sanding ebony and I have no residual dust. Really! No dust whatsoever. Connect it to a shop vac and sand it hard. The motor does not sag when you lean on it HARD! Try it out. After 40 years of wood working I found a sander that works without a douche bag $1500+ price tag. Please try this one. I have no sponsor… Regards, Mawk1 Guitar Stuff Nazareth, Pa

I bought this to use as a DA sander on the car I'm restoring. It works better than I expected, practically as good as a air DA sander, but is substantially quieter. I was worried about the quality and cost of the sander, but I'm extremely happy with its performance so far.

I've used a number of popular orbital sanders but I bought this one as an upgrade. This thing is fantastic. It's so much quieter than my Ridgid and much more adjustable and comfortable to use. The switch is sturdy and works well. It doesn't buck like some sanders do when they kick on... It quickly spools up, which is a nice touch. I wouldn't say it weighs any less but is well balanced. The shop vac when hooked up does a good shop of grabbing most of the saw dust. Not much of any cleanup needed. Great sander for the money. Don't go cheap on sanders because almost every wood project you do you have to use it. It's one of the most used tools in your shop even if you hate using it.

Uno dei fattori che ho trovato particolarmente positivi riguardo a questa levigatrice orbitale è la sua facilità di utilizzo. Grazie alla sua forma ergonomicamente studiata e alla leggerezza, la levigatrice è molto maneggevole e facile da controllare. Inoltre, l'interruttore on/off è ben posizionato e facile da raggiungere, permettendoti di accendere e spegnere la macchina con facilità. Questo rende la levigatrice ideale anche per coloro che non hanno molta esperienza nell'utilizzo di questo tipo di attrezzature. Inoltre, l'efficacia della levigatrice orbitale è veramente notevole. Grazie alla sua potenza e alla velocità di rotazione, la macchina è in grado di rimuovere facilmente le imperfezioni sulla superficie da levigare, come vernice scrostata, graffi, o segni di sega. Anche con dischi di levigatura più grossolani, la macchina riesce a produrre una finitura liscia e uniforme sulla superficie. Un'altra caratteristica che ho apprezzato molto riguarda la durata dei dischi di levigatura. Anche se si tratta di un prodotto usa e getta, questi dischi possono durare a lungo grazie alla loro resistenza e qualità. Inoltre, la confezione che include dischi di diverse grammature rende la levigatrice molto versatile, permettendoti di adattare la macchina a diversi materiali e superfici. Infine, devo sottolineare che la levigatrice è abbastanza silenziosa, il che significa che puoi usarla senza disturbare troppo chi ti circonda. Questo è un punto a suo favore, soprattutto se stai lavorando in un ambiente domestico o in un luogo pubblico.

A recent job was sanding and refinishing 12 scaffold board tables for a wedding venue. I started off with my Makita 125mm orbital and immediately realised it was going to take months. I researched orbital sanders and found that what I needed was an aggressive 5.0mm orbit with a low profile handle for comfort. Mirka was the go to tool but its price was prohibitive. The Maxxt had all good reviews and seemed to fit the bill at a good price. When it came I set it up with 80 grit mesh and attached a Trend shop vac. This is what I found: 1. So, so quiet. 2. So comfortable. I did a 6 hour stint and I was a little tired but non of that tingly vibration thing that aches your wrist and weakens your grip. 3. About 95% less dust than my old sander. 4. Clears through the wax varnish and stain to the bare wood in a quarter of the time. 5. It still produced a super fine finish when I put a 180 grit mesh on to finish. So, one of my better purchases and nothing disappointing about it. I would advise you use the mesh type sanding discs with it, they last and you don’t have to bother trying to line up the holes in the pad. It almost makes sanding fun. Almost.

Muy práctico y ligero aguanta buen las jornadas de trabajo

Quality and build seems decent, can't believe how much faster it is than the Ryobi CornerCat I was gifted. Literally 3-4 times faster, and I had decent Diablo paper on the Ryobi. Dust extraction is excellent when used in unison with my 6hp Rigid vac. I sanded a couple drywall patches and it quickly cut through the paint and flattened out the patch thru several mud layers. This paired with HEPA filtration on my rigid is going to radically improve my speed and cleanliness with drywall patches. I bought this for multipurpose, I also have some painted woodwork to sand and repaint. Hoping to get many years of use from it! Update #1: left the sander plugged-in over night and noticed the handle is ever-so-slightly warm even tho it was off. I would recommend to keep this unplugged or switched off via a mechanical switch to keep your power bill low. Doubt this thing is UL or CSA approved.

I'm posting this mainly to address some comments about the dust extraction parts. As you can see in the photos the hose connects to the sander outlet and the adapter connects to the hose at the other end which works with my CEN-TEC extraction fittings. The hose is a very tight fit, it looks to be the same diameter as the coupler and the sander outlet but this is just to give you a tight fit. It is possible that some purchasers didn't get the hose in the box which would certainly cause confusion! I've only used the sander briefly but it seems to be really good, certainly better than my older Orbitals and probably on a par with the much more expensive 3M unit it seems to copy.
