Only problem for metal working is they chose the wrong size. You spend many times more on belts than the tool over its life, and 3M Cubitron II and Norton Blaze are where its at if you don't want to change the belt every 2 minutes on steel. And those don't come in 3/8x21" !

Proprietary belt sizes; that is a non-starter. And I have many Makita tools, but belt size Must be standardized. Thanks TTC.

In fairness, the manual clearly states that the tool can be used from -5 to +90 degrees for 95 degree total usable swing. The sales flyer says it swings 160 degrees for compact storage. I just got this for Christmas along with the 1/2 in arm. It's a little beast. Offered to give my wife a mani-pedi with it. After seeing it run, for some strange reason, she refused my offer.

It DOES look like a great tool. I've been drooling since first seeing it. I can think of at least 2 or 3 specific tasks I could use this for. And, yes, the price... It's definitely on my short list of tools to buy. The only promotion I see for this one is maybe a free battery with purchase. That always helps. I'm glad this first iteration is brushless. No need to mess around with brushed tools anymore. Thanks for the very thorough review! Yours are always good!

Yeah - I’m also really lookin at this. - taking off 1mm under a door in the winter, when the wood swells. - adding hinge recess in a door - cleaning out cavity for mortise locks I last year had to do 14 double doors and 9 singles - and was such a pain in the ass. This tool would have definitely helped. I tried to use a small router but didn’t quite work… just ended up old schooling drilling holes and cleaning up with a chisel. Funny though, I did try use my small makita chainsaw to clean up the mortise cavity on 1 door - worked ok … but used it the same as this power file.

BS180D in Japan. I got it half year ago, pretty nice tool which other brands don't have yet. I guess this model belt sanders are all made in Japan, at least Japan, China, AU, NZ and UK version. Kit is available on Amazon Japan with two 6.0Ah batts, a charger, several different belts and case. Price between 440 and 460 bucks except shipping and tax charges.

awesome review. also a big thing to note. this is excellent for deburring cut metal. as in if i bandsaw something like rectangular tubing. this deburrs the ends faster than snot. HUGE deal to me. its a nightmare doing it with a file or other tool if you ask me. this is a excellent tool I think. its more expensive yes sure but its worth it to me big time. quality is rare these days and the features are top notch. i am buying one tonight :) thank you for the review.

Great review, ty! I agree with other comments on its price, its up there. I did some digging and use M12 FUEL cutoff modified with a belt sander, its fun to use. Makitas been having crazy promotions all year but this sanders non existent on the lists. 🤞 holiday price drop 😁

I get that it is a 3/8 belt but how tall is the arm vs that width? I'm thinking about strike plates for locks. Door knobs, deadbolts. Deadbolt strike plates are tall and narrow holes and knob/lever strike plates are closer to square but generally taller than wide. I can see this would work vertically, but what about horizontally as in grinding metal in order to widen the strike plate hole?

You are exactly right. I grew up in the family auto-glass business. We did tons of work for the Phosphate mines in Central Florida. We could have used one of these on all those trucks...the pinchwelds were always rusty under the urethane. Thanks for watching.

@@Shoptoolreviews Cordless. It seems to be a quality tool. To be honest I didn’t even know they had one. A lot of options come with it. I’m on the mechanical side of this industry, not the body side so I’m not real familiar with them but I just can’t justify the price not being on the body side of things every day.
