Makita 6" Random Orbit Sander, 6.6 AMP, 1,600-6,800 OPM, 2-mode, case - BO6050J

The 6 in. Random orbit sander (model BO6050J) with variable speed has a two-mode switch for random orbit action (finish sanding and buffing) and random orbit with forced rotation (aggressive sanding and polishing) providing leading wood sanding performance in Douglas-fir and SPF. This model offers a variable speed control dial with an increased range of random orbits (1,600-6,800 opm) and sanding strokes (3,200-13,600) allowing you to match the speed to the application. The compact tool height, 5-3/4 In., and reduced weight, 5.7 lbs., increases efficiency and maneuverability, while the ergonomically designed barrel grip delivers optimum comfort and control. Engineered with a tool-less pad change system, the BO6050J uses convenient hook-and-loop abrasive sanding paper and accessories enabling a fast and efficient work flow.
