The Makita bo3710 does not have the soft grip which the bo3711 has. That makes the bo3711 more comfortable and user-friendly than its competitor. What could be better Makita bo3711 Having tools with excellent durability is extremely important. Not only will it mean you will not have to spend out on replacement tools when they break prematurely, but because tougher tools will do a better job. Sometimes cheaper ones can appear to work great until wear and damage suddenly make them unusable, and you are left unable to complete your task. This will lead to an extended work period as you will have to go out and buy a replacement. If you use that tool as part of your profession, it could mean the difference between hitting your deadline or not. No matter what kind of job you have or how you’re using the equipment, make sure your tools can stand up to the task in the first place. Some people will say that you can get a decent 1/4 sheet sander for an even smaller price, but if you have many flat, large panels to sand in your projects, this one will get the job done faster. The weight isn’t enough to factor too much and importantly, the battery doesn’t impede when gripping the sander. The active dust extraction is very good – aided by a skirt around the sanding pad – but you can attach this sander to a vacuum hose, too. Partly as there’s no need for a battery, the PEX 220 A is very light, meaning you can use it for a long time and at awkward angles without fatigue. The dust box is easy to empty but the clip system holding it to the sander is on the loose side.

Not only is there less risk of leaving marks in the wood, they are more versatile and can be used for a wide range of sanding tasks. The Makita BO3711 Sander features a variable speed control by a dial, allowing the user to suit sanding speed to individual jobs. Its ergonomic design allows the body to fit the user’s hand, providing grip and easy handling. It does not matter if it is in a single or double-handed operation. The compact and lightweight design makes the sanding tool maneuverable as you sand right up to the front of the machine and edges.

Do you remember the sander I told you about earlier? I used it for everything from smoothing the rough surfacesof pallet wood to sand between the coats. It was some random finishing sander and it served its purpose.Even better than a built-in dust compartment (if you have a power supply nearby) is the ability to attach the sander to a vacuum cleaner hose. That active suction will reduce the amount of dust a lot in comparison. It’s very lightweight and easy to use, with different ways to grip it. It’s not massively powerful and only has one speed but these are normal attributes and it does what it’s supposed to do very well. The other common type of orbital sander that isn’t random is a finishing sander. As the name suggests, these are designed for the final touches rather than tough work such as removing paint (consider a belt sander for that type of job). You’ll want one of these for getting a nice smooth surface either as the final finish or before adding product, such as oil or paint. Everybody knows that tingling sensation in their hands after a long period of sanding. It’s not a nice feeling, but that’s a downside of using power sanders and power tools in general. Some people might say that these days every sander should have a variable speed but that in my opinion it’s not necessary and it usually comes with a price increase.

What makes the high dust extraction possible are eight holes on the baseplate. They trap all the dust through the machine into the rear-mounted dust bag. You are also allowed to connect your vacuum cleaner. Punch plate I remember when I was looking for my first sander for pallet sandbox as it was yesterday. I couldn’t tell a finishing sander from the random orbital sander and didn’t know that such a thing as a belt sander even existed. The Makita BO3710 has a fast, smooth performance due to its rubberized palm grip and ease-of-use features. It is ideal for woodworkers and finished carpenters who require a best-in-class sander. Precision-engineered all-ball bearing construction on the model reduces vibration and noise. Screwfix has an excellent reputation and is arguably the best brand for trade tools in the UK. This is down to them supplying only top-quality tools at extremely reasonable prices. It’s obvious that the team at Screwfix are passionate about what they do – having friendly and helpful staff that range from online assistants to instore staff. If you are unsure or need any advice on your DIY or trade job, they are more than happy to answer your questions. Cheaper brands, such as those you would find in high street bargain stores, will have been mass-produced with lower grade materials which allow the low price tag. Though that may sound good for your bank account, you will soon discover you have a tape measure that slices your fingers, screwdrivers that don’t fit in the cross slot of a screw and a hammer grip that is slipping from the handle.This ergonomic orbital sander tool from Makita fits the user's hand perfectly, providing sure grip and easy handling whether in a single or double handed operation. Maximum speed is what you get for increased efficiency and smooth finish sanding. What minimizes the vibration is the built-in counterbalance system. When it comes to weight, the two sanding tools are different. The Makita bo3710 weighs up to 3.31lb, whilst the bo3711 is up to 3.53lb. However, that does not change the fact that these two are lightweight sanding tools. Adjustable speed Many bargain footwear suppliers offer work boots for a fantastic price. But these are often not steel toe capped, do not have anti-fatigue soles and won’t protect your feet against liquids or extreme heat. In fact, some boots that look the part may as well be a pair of sandals if a hammer or power tool was to drop on your foot. If you’re going to do a lot of woodwork at home, whether it’s a spot of DIY or crafting things from wood to sell online, a sander is a must-have item in your toolbox. An electric sander is not only going to save you a lot of time, but it can provide you with a much better finish, too.
