The Makita DBS180Z is a 9mm (3/8") cordless belt sander powered by 18V LXT Li-Ion battery. It has a brushless motor and electric brake whilst offering the user high power output and variable speed control. A lock-on function is also provided. A handy LED job light is also built into the sander which is connectable to a dust extractor with the correct attachment if needed. The adjustable sanding arm pivots up to 160° to allow for compact storage whilst the DBS180Z also offers anti-start up during storage for safety. This means the machine will not start if the sanding arm is folded over 90°.
