Makita BS001GZ 40Vmax XGT Brushless 3″x21″ Belt Sander – Tool Only Features

40Vmax XGT Brushless AWS 3″ x 21″ Variable Speed Belt Sander with Anti-restart function
High power similar or superior to corded models has been achieved by a 40Vmax XGT Li-Ion battery and a genuine Makita purpose-built brushless motor. As a result, the belt speed is less likely to drop when the belt is pressed hard.
The 40Vmax XGT battery is positioned above the sanding belt on the front side of the tool. This ensures a uniform load on the sanding surface, enabling sanding with reduced unevenness.
The angle of the twin LED job light with afterglow function can be manually adjusted according to the working posture (from 15 degrees up to 30 degrees down, with the horizontal direction as 0 degrees).
The tool’s flat surface on top of the housing allows it to be used as a stationary belt sander with the optional guide rule (1915E3-1) sold separately.
Dust bag with anti-drop feature equipped with a lock mechanism. This keeps the dust bag from falling off due to its own weight when the tool is used vertically, such as when sanding walls.
Angle adjustable front handle can be rotated without tools and can be fixed every 30 degrees between 30 degrees to the rear and 60 degrees to the front with the vertical direction as 0 degrees.
Sanding to the edge of the wall is possible by fixing the front handle at 0 degrees vertically or 30 degrees to the rear.
Continuous operation is improved by the lock-on function.
The lock-off lever positioned on the trigger avoids unintentional activation of the tool and provides ease of operation.
