Makita BS001G 40v Max XGT Cordless Brushless Belt Sander
The Makita BS001G is a cordless belt sander engineered for demanding professional applications. Powered by Makita's 40Vmax XGT Li-Ion battery system and featuring a brushless motor, this 3-inch belt sander delivers exceptional power and runtime for intensive sanding tasks across timber, metal and composite materials.
Designed with intelligent automation, the BS001G incorporates automatic belt position adjustment to maintain consistent sanding alignment throughout operation, reducing downtime and improving accuracy. The angle-adjustable front handle provides enhanced control and operator comfort, whilst the integrated LED job light ensures visibility in poorly lit environments or confined spaces. Variable speed control from 120 to 470 metres per minute allows users to match belt speed to material and application requirements.
Dust extraction is managed through an anti-drop dust bag, with optional connectivity to Makita's Auto-start Wireless System (AWS) for Bluetooth-enabled automatic extraction when paired with compatible vacuum cleaners. A lock-on button enables continuous operation during extended sanding sessions. The BS001G can be inverted and installed as a stationary bench sander, adding versatility for workshop applications. This configuration is ideal for carpenters, joiners and metalworkers requiring both portable and fixed sanding capability.

Battery AH Explained
The best way to describe battery amp hour is that this is effectively the size of your fuel tank, the more amp hours your battery has then the longer the battery will last between charges. More amp hours does not increase the power of a given tool.
Battery Voltage Explained
A tool with a higher voltage than another is a bit like choosing an engine in a car, the higher voltage will generally mean higher power & performance. As with cars though a bigger engine does not always translate to better performance so it is important to compare the specifications of tools at different voltages between different manufacturers.
