 Sanding an old cedar deck August 16, 2010
Norm
After searching for various belt sanders on the Webb, I chose the Makita 9903. Using it was relatively easy, on hands and knees, but with 3M belts, the job (900 ft2) was not difficult. The sander worked very well, has good weight, and did not hardly slow up at all with lots of pressure over knots and irregularities in the wood. Long cord is overrated, ext. chords needed anyway. But the sand bag is well designed, large enough, and easy to empty and reinstall. I don't think there is a better belt sander available at this time..7/15/10 It would be nice if there was a case for it included though.
great tool June 5, 2010

No regrets buying this. Works as expected and tracking stays very true. Happy to have another makita tool in my shop
Thrilled with this sander! Amazing dust collection! September 20, 2009

I needed to resurface a cupped and warped porch deck, a bigger job than my PC rotary sander could handle. I decided on this sander. I initially bought a Ryobi from Home Depot figuring I wouldn't need to use it a lot, but then returned it unopened after I pictured myself using a broken down crappy tool in a couple years. After reading many reviews I decided on this sander. I am really happy I paid $[...] bucks more for a much higher quality tool. Tracking is perfect. Power is very good. DUST COLLECTION IS UNBELIEVABLE! After a few minutes on the porch I realized there wasn't any sawdust, yet the paint was coming up. A few more minutes and I checked the bag...the bag was nearly half full! It captured almost everything! I love this sander! This is one of those tools that you will be happy you spent a little more money on and you will use for many years to come.

I have owned this sander for a few months. Bought it for remodeling work I'm doing to my house but I also have a little work shop where I make boxes and some furniture. This sander has pretty well taken up residence in one of my wood vise. I use it alot in my shop. The belts stay on track and variable speed is really nice. I have a large 6X24 belt sander but it really doesn't get any attention anymore. I would recommend one of these in place of a stationary sander as it is so versatile.
great belt sander April 16, 2009

I purchased the Makita 9903 belt sander to remove paint from my home that I am repainting. I am totally happy with my purchase. The variable speed control and the belt tracking are perfect. I had an old Sears belt sander that doesn't compare to the Makita.
