Makita - Makita BO6030 6-in. Random Orbit Sander
The Makita BO6030 is a fine-sanding modeĀ 6-in. random orbit sander.The percentage of dust collected over the course of the three 5-minute tests fell from 79% to 50% using the onboard dust canister, for an average of 65%. When we repeated the tests, the percentage fell from 87% to 44%, for an average of 60%. We hoped a vacuum would give better results, but a hose made this sander nearly uncontrollable; it was sucked to the wood even with the vacuum at minimum power. For a fine-mode machine, this sander removes an impressive amount of wood, but it is troubling that so little of the dust can be collected.
