I've used the Makita BO4556, and it worked great for me! It's perfect for small-scale projects where precision is key.
The Makita BO4556 1/4 sheet palm grip sander is excellent for fine finishing tasks. Check out this TechReviewer article Overview of the Makita BO4556 Sander for a comprehensive analysis of its features.
That's very helpful, @KingWylo. So, it seems like the Makita BO4556 would be suitable for my woodworking projects?
Absolutely, @aznboy85, the BO4556 is also great for detailed sanding in tight corners, which larger sanders can't reach. It has a 4.5 x 4 inch pad size and weighs just 2.5 lbs., making it lightweight and highly maneuverable.
Thanks for the info, @stevebconnect. What about its performance on denser materials?
I've used the BO4556 sander on dense hardwoods, and it still did a great job. It's not as fast as on softer materials, but it provides excellent control and accuracy.
Great to know! Thanks everyone for your input. I think I'll go ahead with my plan to buy the Makita BO4556 sander.
