Repairing a Makita 9401 belt sander. One of Makitas flagship tools, that truly lasts a lifetime.

This is the makita 9401 belt sander. This particular one could be easily 20 years old.
These really are a machine that where man's to last a lifetime. and as you can see from the wear on the armature, they truly do.
There are not many tools that cam run for so long they wear through the com bar on an armature like this. and still keep on running.
A few bearings and brushes and this one is running again. admitting sounding a but rough, but still running and working.

The best this about this old Makita belt sander, is that they are still available to buy.
This exact tool is still sold today. and cost around 500 euro. But you really do get your money out of these machines.
