Hi
I'm looking for a ROS to use as a finishing sander and have come across the Makita BO5012 http://www.axminster.co.uk/product.asp?pf_id=19582&recno=9. Does anyone have any experience with these? Do they provide a reasonable finish and what are they like at rougher removal?
I've also had a bit of a look at the Metabo SXE450 Duo but that seems a bit heavy for my needs (2.7kg vs the Makita's 1.2kg). It seems like finishing small stock might be a bit taxing with such a heavy beast?
Any thoughts greatly appreciated.
Cheers
Alan
