 USED - not reconditioned November 9, 2001
20 out of 21 found this review helpful
I just received my sander, which seems to work fine......but calling it "reconditioned" should be false advertising. This is a USED piece of equipment. If it was reconditioned, it wouldn't arrive covered in a thick layer of oiley sawdust, with rust on the base plate. The least they could do is wipe it off if they had it in the factory. A manual and warrantee info would be nice to have as well.

I recently used the Mikita to sand down the cedar rails for a handrail I was building. I found the Mikita to be quite useful because it's small enough to use one handed when needed and still do it's job. It's somewhat of a task specific tool, but when you need a little more than the orbital this is the answer. Also, the price is nice.
Reconditioned Makita Belt Sander Not Reliable October 9, 2003

I was pleased with the price of the factory reconditioned Makita R9910 Belt Sander, but after VERY limited use, I find it would not start with out a "push", and now, after owning it for 2 years, but using it very little, it has refused to start at all. I have been unhappy with its poor reliability and would not buy another reconditioned Makita product.
 Factory-Reconditioned Makita R9910 3" x 18" Belt Sander September 13, 2003
The unit works acceptably. However, it is not a refurburshed sander. It is used. I have purchased numerous refurburshed Dewalt power tools and they have obviously been "re-built." This unit was not even cleaned, let alone re-built.
