Makita 9741 Wheel Sander

Product Information

At the lumberyard's recommendation, I power washed them but it drove so much moisture into the wood that I had to wait months for the boards to dry out enough to use. It does have provision for dust collection, but how effective it is compared to the Makita I don't know.

A well meaning post that seems to be on-topic but contains a product reference may do your business more harm than good in the Forum environment.The 3D brush sander is a powerful and versatile tool that can help woodworkers achieve a smooth and even finish on a wide range of surfaces.

Ultimately it’s up to the one that rights the check to make an informed decision and if you ask me for it, I will tell you. However, traditional sanders can be time-consuming and labor-intensive, especially when working with intricate designs or hard-to-reach areas. The other tool I'd like to throw in as a comparable and see if anyone has any first hand experience is the Porter Cable PXRA2676 Multi Surface Tool. After using the machine and the wire wheel myself, I realize those reviewers were probably misusing the tool in some fashion, or were expecting it to function as some kind of portable sand blaster.The grain raising effect is clearly more dramatic than just working the surface with the 80 grit nylon wheel, and the amount of time it took was significantly reduced.
