Beyond pneumatic? New Makita orbit sander expectations for the BO001CGZ

What’s an orbit sander? That’s what I thought.
It’s a double-action sander that offsets the rotation axis. Hmm, I see (*’ω’*)

The power cord is thinner and more flexible than an air hose and seems really convenient to use!

Pneumatic tools have the annoying issue of hoses getting in the way

Since it’s corded, it shouldn’t hinder movement in theory
and you don’t have to worry about air compressor pressure in theory
That’s what I thought (*’ω’*)

Going cordless with electric and pneumatic tools
subtly improves efficiency. *Getting them out and putting them away

It’s supposedly lower, lighter, and more powerful than the previous model

We still use pneumatic at home, so comparison is difficult…
Compared to the previous model, it’s definitely smaller and lighter

Dust collection is possible! You can also use net sanding discs

Standard discs are also compatible, so that’s reassuring (*’ω’*)

Cords come in two lengths: 1.6m and 5m. Safe to use with dust collectors

Our pneumatic model can’t use dust collectors, so this is really convenient~

40V max, 125mm disc, 5mm orbit diameter

40V max provides reliable power and torque. At 125mm, there’s a wide selection of both standard and net sanding papers available.
With a 5mm orbit diameter, it’s a solid spec for smooth finishing.

My expectations are getting pretty high~
If I get to hold it in person, I might just end up buying it.

Depending on the tool it might be the era of Makita 40V max after all. . . .
