Works great! Review: Great sander! - This is a very good sander. Works quickly, very little vibration compared to my old Porter Cable 333, is well-balanced and reasonably light in weight. The dust collection bag works, sort of, but is easy to accidentally knock loose, with a resulting cloud of dust. It's also messy to empty it. I won't ding it too hard for that, though, since I almost always use it with a vacuum attached to the dust port. Mine arrived with a broken speed control thumbwheel, which might be related to the inside design of the case. desertcart replaced it very quickly with no fuss, thank you. ## Features - Variable speed control dial (4,000 - 12,000 OPM) to match the speed to the application - Large 1/8" random orbit action for faster and super smooth sanding - Pad control system for controlled pad speed upon start-up - Efficient through-the-pad Filth collection system for a cleaner work environment - Filth-sealed switch minimizes corruption ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | AC Adapter Current | 3 Amps | | ASIN | B002FJYE0G | | Amperage Capacity | 3 Amps | | Best Sellers Rank | #186,329 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #142 in Power Random Orbit Sanders | | Brand | Makita | | Brand Name | Makita | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 354 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00088381092746 | | Grit Type | Medium | | Included Components | Unit^Instruction Guide | | Item Type Name | Makita BO5031K Variable Speed Random Orbit Sander, 5 In | | Manufacturer | Makita | | Manufacturer Part Number | BO5031K | | Manufacturer Warranty Description | 3 year | | Maximum Rotational Speed | 12000 RPM | | Model Number | BO5031K | | Power Source | Corded Electric | | UPC | 094712935965 088381092746 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Voltage | 120 Volts (AC) | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Makita - **Grit Type:** Medium - **Voltage:** 120 Volts (AC) - **Power Source:** Corded Electric - **AC Adapter Current:** 3 Amps ## Images ![BO5031K 5" Random Orbit Sander, variable speed, with Tool Case - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61SlLlT+mgL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Does it support 220v?** A: No, it's 110V. **Q: Does this model comes with whole punch plate like my quarter sheet Makita? Suggestions 5inch sander model that comes with a case and that whole punch** A: No, this uses round discs that are pre punched with holes, you do not need the punch plate. I have the same quarter sheet Makita sander, this is a big step up in performance. **Q: Can i use this sander as a polisher** A: absolutely. The best car polishers are actually 9 or 10" random orbital sanders that run at low speed. I used to polish cars professionally for an old couple that blasted you if it wasnt perfect. The technique is as follows: - always apply to the PAD, not the car - set the buffer JUST above the surface, turn on, and JUST before it starts to really HUM, lightly touch down and let the weight of the sander dictate the running speed of the pad. The pad should initially be on the lowest setting. This requires a bit of a touch, but the goal is to prevent ALL your polish and wax from flying off the pad and making a mess. ALSO, you DONT want to start the polisher on the surface: 1) its bad for the motor to be under an added load like that . 2) on startup, motors produce a substantial amount of torque and before your polish is evenly spread, could REALLY, suddenly dig in and possibly scratch or gouge the really ridiculously soft clear coat that is used nowadays. - use best products available: 3M yields amazing results, Chemical Guys supposedly reproduces those results, but I havent used them yet and am unfamiliar with the entire line. **Q: how many watts?** A: watts =amps x volts. So If it's 3 amps, multiply that by, say, 115 (for volts which will vary 110 to 120), and so you get 445 watts. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent sander! *by D***N on January 23, 2026* Great price on quality power tool. Works great! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great sander! *by O***F on March 15, 2015* This is a very good sander.

Amazon replaced it very quickly with no fuss, thank you. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Awesome product, the right price *by B***A on August 3, 2012* I bought this sander for my husband (of course, I use it too) and we love it! This is our first orbital type sander, so I really can't compare to other orbitals, but it does a great job. We refinished kitchen cabinets for a friend and could not have survived without it! I love that it is variable speed! We've had this for several months now and have had absolutely no issues with it. Definitely recommend it...especially for the price! ## Frequently Bought Together - Makita BO5031K 5" Random Orbit Sander, variable speed, with Tool Case - WORKPRO 150-piece Sanding Discs Set - 5-Inch 8-Hole Sandpaper 10 Grades Include 60, 80, 100, 120, 150,180, 240, 320, 400, 600 Grits for Random Orbital Sander(Not for Oscillating Tools or Mouse Sander) - Gnellkoor 2 Pack 5" 8 Hole Hook & Loop Replacement Sander Pads Compatible with Makita Orbital Sander BO5010 BO5030K BO5031K BO5041K, Replacement Parts #743081-8/743051-7 (3 Screw Holes Sander Pads --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.pa/products/2721662-bo5031k-5-random-orbit-sander-variable-speed-with-tool-case](https://www.desertcart.com.pa/products/2721662-bo5031k-5-random-orbit-sander-variable-speed-with-tool-case) --- *Product available on Desertcart Panama* *Store origin: PA* *Last updated: 2026-05-27*
