Makita XOB01Z 18V LXT Cordless 5-Inch Random Orbit Sander — Tool Only

Cordless agility for woodworking projects

Take sanding farther with the Makita XOB01Z 18V LXT cordless 5-inch random orbit sander. Tool only (battery sold separately), it frees you from power cords, letting you move around the shop or job site with ease while you shape wood, veneer, or panels.

Three speed settings—7,000; 9,500; and 11,000 OPM—are accessible via a one-touch electronic control, so you can tune performance to the task at hand. The sander’s balanced design and ergonomic grip help you maintain control through longer sessions, reducing fatigue while you refine surfaces.
