110V PALM SANDER

Makita BO4555 Sheet Orbital Sander - 110V: Professional Finishing for Site & Workshop Use

The Makita BO4555 Sheet Orbital Sander - 110V is a compact, lightweight, and powerful finishing sander designed specifically for professional tradespeople working on sites where 110V power is mandated for safety. It's engineered to deliver smooth, swirl-free finishes on a wide range of materials, including wood, plastics, and metals, making it ideal for preparation work before painting or varnishing, as well as for fine finishing tasks. Its ergonomic design and efficient dust collection ensure comfortable and effective use for extended periods in demanding environments.

The Makita BO4555 operates using standard 114 x 140 mm (1/4 sheet) abrasive paper, which it moves in small, rapid orbital patterns. This action is key to minimizing swirl marks and achieving a consistently smooth, high-quality finish, making it perfect for final surface preparation. This 110V model is specifically designed for use with a site transformer, making it compliant with electrical safety standards on UK construction sites and in industrial settings. It maintains Makita's reputation for robust construction, durability, and reliable performance, with user comfort and efficient dust management as core design principles.

Features

• 110V Site Safety Compliant:
  • Designed specifically for 110V AC operation, supplied with the appropriate yellow 3-pin 16A industrial plug (BS EN 60309 standard). This ensures compliance with safety regulations on most construction sites and industrial premises in the UK, significantly reducing the risk of electric shock.
  • Requires connection to a suitable 110V site transformer for power.
• Powerful Motor: Equipped with a robust 200W motor that delivers high orbital speed (typically 14,000 OPM - Orbits Per Minute) for fast and efficient material removal while still achieving a smooth finish.
• Smooth, Swirl-Free Finish: The orbital sanding action effectively prevents visible swirl marks, producing a consistently smooth and even surface, which is essential for high-quality pre-finishing applications.
• Compact & Lightweight Design: Weighing approximately 1.1 kg, its small size and light weight provide excellent maneuverability, reduce user fatigue during prolonged use, and allow access into more confined spaces.
• Ergonomic Grip: Features comfortable, non-slip grips (often rubberized) that provide a secure hold and enhance user control and comfort during operation.
• Efficient Dust Collection System: Includes options for direct dust collection into a bag or connection to a vacuum cleaner (via an adapter, if necessary). This system effectively captures airborne dust, maintaining a cleaner work environment, improving visibility, and extending the life of abrasive paper.
• Durable Aluminium Foot: The robust sanding base is often constructed from durable aluminium, ensuring long-lasting performance and consistent sanding results.
• Easy Abrasive Paper Installation: Utilizes a quick and simple clamping system for fast and secure attachment and removal of standard 1/4 sheet abrasive papers.
• Low Vibration: Engineered to minimize vibration levels, contributing significantly to user comfort and reducing hand fatigue, particularly during continuous use on busy sites.
• Built for Durability: As a Makita professional tool, it is constructed to withstand the demands of rigorous daily use in trade environments, ensuring reliability and a long service life.

Applications

• Construction Sites: Ideal for preparing surfaces on site, including wood frames, plasterboard, and joinery, before painting or finishing.
• Renovation & Refurbishment Projects: Essential for smoothing and preparing existing surfaces, old paint layers, or fillers.
• Woodworking & Joinery: Perfect for fine sanding of wooden components for installation, furniture, and cabinetry, ensuring a flawless finish.
• Painters & Decorators: A key tool for surface preparation to achieve a smooth and even base for paints, varnishes, and lacquers.
• Metal & Plastic Finishing: Capable of light sanding and finishing on certain metal and plastic surfaces where a smooth texture is required.
