Makita 9227CY 7-Inch Variable Speed Electronic Sander-Polisher This Makita polisher is fast and powerful for clear coat finishes, and fantastic for ultra-slow polishing, too. Its variable speed feature with a preset maximum speed dial (from 600 to 3,000 rpm) gives you maximum control for buffing applications. The electronic speed control maintains constant speed under load; and best of all, this tool converts from polisher to sander in a snap. For continuous use at one speed, just click the lock-on button and you’re ready to sand for hours. The 9227CY comes with a sanding disc, rubber pad, lock nut, lock nut wrench, and side handle — though this model is also shown with optional buffing bonnet (not included).
Customer Review: Buffer
This is a great product. The Best Worth every dime. It’s a work horse.
Customer Review: Amazon good…Makita bad.
The buffer really worked great when I finally got to use it. It did not come as advertized with the hook and loop backing pad. After contacting Makita and getting no where, Amazon agreed to send me another buffer. Unfortunately for me, it too came packaged incorrectly. So, after some discussion Amazon agreed to credit my account the amount of money necessary to buy the backing pad.

Customer Review: Another excellent Makita tool
I purchased this sander nearly one year ago and can’t say I have any complaints about it. The dust collection works surprisingly well, though if the bag isn’t pushed in all the way it has a tendency to fall out (fault of the user, not the tool). It isn’t unbearably loud although I still wear my ear muffs when using it. The vibration in the hand is low, and it does a superb job at what it is designed to do - sand. I don’t know where the components are made, but at least the tool itself is assembled in USA which is more than I can say for the 18V Li-Ion drill and impact driver combo that I have as well (Makita brand) which is made in China. This is a purchase you won’t regret.
Customer Review: Makita sander
This is a quality item and Makita really stands behing their products. I had a problem with the pad on my first one and Makita repaired it and had it back to me in three days. I now have two of them.
