Thanks for the review. Nice job. Pulled trigger on the 5031k. Cheers.
the dust bag lid is the adapter. also I used this on drywall and the dust collection sucks. there were streams of dist shooting out where the pad met the housing.
have you lubricated the bearings on your makita BO5041?
dust adapter was in the lid to the bag probably covered in the manual. I read it directly from homedepot website.
Hi
How is this sander (quick, efficient and aggresive) for removing stock? For example few layers of paint from garden furniture or smoothing wall plaster? I m thinking of getting this model or Makita BO6030. Do you know anything about bo6030 – just to compare them ?
How do u compare it with BOSCH GEX 125?
