Answer This Question

A:  Thank you for your question on the bo4556K finishing sander. Yes, this can be used to sand off paint from wood cabinets, weighs only 2.5 lbs. and is engineered with a 2 AMP motor that delivers 14,000 OPM for fast and smooth finishing sanding.

by|May 25, 2022

    A:  Yes, this sander is ideal for this purpose along with some required hand sanding in the crevices.

    by|May 25, 2022

      A:  Yes but be very careful It may be very hard to get into the corners. If you are going to do just the cabinet doors take them off and use paint remover then a very low number grit sandpaper if required on the sander

        A:  Yes it can, great sander. But you might also consider stripping the paint off with paint stripper. You can get that at Home Depot.

          A:  Yes it can

            A:  Seems to me Home Depot should answer this question if they advertised the sander with a hard case and did not ship it. I do know the sell the palm sander with and without the hard case so Home Depot may have send you the wrong one.

                          A:  Do you mean the part that holds the sandpaper or the part that collects the dust?

                                  The bottom plate bearing popped out due to structural failure of the sand paper backing plate. A teardown found that plastic around the bottom plate bearing was broken and was likely pressed in without backing support. With only a few hours of gentle finish sanding operational time, I now need to contend with driving an hour out of my way and back again, twice for repair of a new product or shipping it at my expense. This has seriously soured me on future Makita buys. In contrast my Milwaukee disc ROS has suffered through such horrible abuse that I've melted the hook and look backing off and its rock solid (lots of vibration though). As it turns out, the part plus shipping is less than 10 bucks (3 bucks part, 7 bucks ship) from a online repair store and its a good chance to fix something without having to wait forever or travel very far. I have already begun to tell coworkers to avoid Makita sanders.

                                        Work Horse! I wish I had a dime for every review I've wrote and a quarter for everyone I read. Yhe countless positive reviews for this sander swayed me. I have a daunting project of refinishing all the doors in my home and needed a sander that was up to the challenge. It performs flawlessly and minimizes airborn sawdust with the included collection bag. I have put about 50 manhours of operational use on this sander and no problems. It feels comfortable in my hand, Does not vibrate my hands to the point of numbing and it is super easy to guide over the working surface. It has a respectable power cord length and a very nice travel case which I think is a bonus. Dollar for Dollar I dont think this sander can be beat in the price category.

                                        Overall I would have to say this is yet another great product by Makita. The finishing sander does a great job, is light enough for delicate work yet heavy enough to help reduce vibration. My only complaint would be that I did not receive the "handy tool case" which would make for storage much better than sitting on the bench with the cord wrapped around it.

                                        Solid Product
                                        We are restoring all the doors and trim in our 90 year old home. We were in desperate need of a finisher sander. After researching the various brands and products we settled on this one and have been very pleased (We also bought Model # BO5030K Orbital Sander to do more of the heavy lifting). We have now used and abused this product for over a year now. It has run literally over 100 hours and still going like it is new. Features I like: *uses a standard 1/4 sheet - just rip the paper in quarters and put it on (dont forget to punch the holes for dust collection) *Dust collection is decent, but I really like that the bag can be removed and shop vac can be connected. *Paper is easy to attach *Fits good in hand and has rubber for good grip *The switch is sealed up so dust will not get into it (a problem with some other sanders) Not a huge fan of the plastic box (I don't use it). Would have preferred a bag. All in all, this sand runs great and gets the job done.

                                        This sander does an awesome job and it is very easy to work with. The handle size is not as bulky as other sanders making it much easier to maneuver!

                                        Great Hand Sander for the $
                                        I love this sander! It had been over 20 years since using a hand sander in high school wood shop class. They have definitely improved since then. Seems to orbit at a higher RPM and is very powerful for its size. Loading the paper is literally a snap. Dust collection bag helps too. It is worth waiting for online delivery since you essentially get the free case.
