Overview
Running on 120 volts and drawing 2 amps, the Makita BO4900V is a corded electric sander with a listed top speed of 10000 RPM and a weight of 3 kilograms. The cord means steady power without battery limits, at the cost of reach.
Corded sanders like this trade portability for uninterrupted power, useful for longer sanding sessions where a battery would need swapping or recharging. At 3 kilograms, about 6.6 lbs, it carries more heft than many compact cordless sanders, which can add stability but also fatigue over extended use. The listing does not specify sanding pad size or orbit type.
- 120 volt corded electric
- 2 amp draw
- Up to 10000 RPM
- 3 kg listed weight
Who it's for
Fits users doing extended surface prep or finishing work near an outlet, where consistent power matters more than cordless mobility. Less ideal for jobs away from power access or where a lighter tool is preferred for overhead work.
Pros and cons
- Corded for uninterrupted power on long jobs
- High top speed of 10000 RPM
- Established Makita line
- Heavier at 3 kg than typical cordless sanders
- Cord limits mobility and reach
- Pad size and orbit type not specified
Performance notes
The 120 volt, 2 amp motor and up to 10000 RPM speed point to a tool built for continuous surface work rather than short bursts, since a cord removes the need to manage battery charge. The 3 kilogram weight adds stability against a work surface but will register in longer sessions or overhead use.
