## Description

Product Description Makita Sheet Finishing Sander, 1/3 In, 1.7 A, Teal (BO3710) From the Manufacturer The Makita BO3710 is small and powerful for fast removal of material. Includes 1/3 Sheet Finishing Sander - BO3710, Abrasive Paper #120 - 794568-3, Dust Bag - 140115-2, Punch Plate - 451271-6

Review: Dry well designed and built 1/3 sheet power sander - Replaced a well used black and decker 1/3 sheet sander. I’ve used it for a few weeks, with coarse and very fine paper. I love thr very sturdy paper grips, better than any other sheet sander I’ve used. The Makita hits all the marks, very low vibration, very quiet compared to cheaper models, it’s fairly light and easy to control with multiple grab points. The motor creates suction which dry effectively pulls in sawdust and expels it under pressure out the back where it’s captured by the included dust bag. The only minor negative comment is that the dust exhaust port tube is smaller diameter than standard small shop vac hose, so an adapter would be needed to attach to a vacuum. Since the sander already blows out the dust without needing a vacuum, I’m giving it 5 stars.
Review: Wow! A really pleasant experience with this sander. Works grat. - Needed to replace my trusty old B & D orbital sander, which died. No comparable replacement from B & D. I found this Makita on desertcart, and while Makita has a good reputation for quality, I have become suspicious of just about every power tool available today, as all seem to be made overseas. But for $50.00, I can't get hurt too bad. Plus, this sander is a 1/3 sheet sander, not the 1/4 sanders which are more prevalent today. Well, the sander arrived today, and I immediately put it to use sanding some hardwood guitar necks I make. Red oak and teak are what I sanded today. Holy Cow! This Makita is so smooth, relatively quiet, and easy to handle while working. I can't recall a time my old sander was ever this smooth. It is a finishing sander (straight line motion), not an orbital, but the Makita worked easily to smooth out the wood I was working with, first with 60 grit, then 150 grit. Did a great job removing wood as needed, and as I said above, was easy to handle while using, so no "oversanding". I don't know how long this unit will last, but out of the box it is a great tool, and I think a good value. Came with a dust collection pouch and a punch to make holes for your sandpaper to use the dust collection feature in the sander's base. I recommend this tool for those looking for a light - to -mid weight sander.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: is this an orbital sander; or is it straight line (back and forth)?**
A: this is an orbital sander, feel free to check makita website, most "straight line sanders" currently only seem to be available in phnuematic and are usually whats also referred to as long board sanders around 16 inches long. this model is a 1/3rd sheetsander 3 5/8" x 9 1/8 (hook and loop) or 3 5/8" x 11" using clamps. if your looking for 1/2 sheet sander try 1/2 Sheet Finishing SanderModel BO4900V

**Q: What is the amperage?**
A: Says 1.7 amps on the sander data plate.  Seems like the motor has a lot of power for that low of an amperage rating.

**Q: I own a previous model of this (excellent) but it now makes a hard click when it starts.  Is it time to replace?**
A: Try to blow out the switch.  Then if that does not work, take it apart to see if there is any dust clogging the movement.  Look at the brushes to see if they are good, replace if necessary.  Look at the contacts, make sure they are clean.

**Q: What amp is this sander?**
A: This sander runs on 1.7 amps. I love the performance of this sander.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great small sander
*by T***K on May 16, 2020*

My B&D sander which was 30+ years old finally died. I only use a sander sporadically for special projects like finishing raw wood furniture or craft work. I tried my new Makita for the first time today by finishing 2 maple walking sticks that I crafted from a portion of a maple tree that I had to cut down. I use pre-cut 3M sand paper. To get the most out of this sander I needed to punch 8 holes in the sandpaper, the holes allow the fine saw dust to pass thru to the dust bag. It takes about 2 seconds to punch perfect holes as Makita supplies a plastic press to handle the job. The bag does a good job of trapping some of the dust that comes thru the punch holes so that the dust doesn't accumulate on the sandpaper during use. This improves the efficiency of the sander to get the smoothest finish on the raw wood. This Makita is noticeably quieter than my old B&D. I didn't need ear protection but I do wear a dust mask and glasses to keep the very fine sawdust out of my eyes. This sander did a great job sanding my hardwood walking sticks. I cycled thru coarse, medium and fine grit paper after I prepped the word with a little planning and hand sanding with coarse. It has a button to lock the sander in the On position which I found very helpful. I highly recommend it. I suggest that you vacuum the bag & the sander after your work with a shop vac.
