Sanders Filibuster Begins…

Saying he was prepared to speak “as long as possible” against a tax deal between the White House and congressional Republicans, Sen. Bernie Sanders took to the Senate floor to make the case against deepening the deficit and widening the income gap in America by extending Bush-era tax breaks for the very wealthy. “I am simply here today to take as long as I can to explain to the American people the fact that we have got to do a lot better than this agreement provides,” Sanders began. After eight and a half hours of speaking without leaving the Senate floor, Sanders brought his day-long stand to a close Friday night. He concluded, “If the American people stand up and say, we can do better than this, that we don’t need to drive up the national debt by giving tax breaks to millionaires and billionaires, that if the American people are prepared to stand — and we’re prepared to follow them — I think we can defeat this proposal. I think we can come up with a better proposal which better reflects the needs of the middle class and working families of our country and, to me, most importantly, the children of our country. And with that, Madam President, I would yield the floor.”

Best 4″x24″ sander on the planet,
One great sander. This sander is quiet, it starts soft, the belt stays centered, it has comfortable handles, the cord is very long (What a concept, put on a long cord so you don’t have to use an extension most of the time.), it only draws 11 amps so I can run it with my shop vac with out tripping the breaker. They spent time at the drawing board no this one. A tool thats a joy to use, at a good price.

|More power arrr arrr arrr !,
I love power ! This tool delivers boat loads of it. But you know what ? It doesn’t sound like it. I was never able to use a belt sander before without earplugs. This one runs at only 84 Db. It’s the quietest on the market. It’s also the smoothest I’ve used.I’ve used all of the 4×24 sanders and the Makita just seems to do more work faster. Maybe it’s the fact that it has the highest speed of any , maybe it’s the high tech , powerful motor ,the efficient drive train. Whatever it is , it kicks butt . The dust collection system is also top notch. For small jobs and fine work , I prefer my Bosch 1274 dvs. It’s much lighter ,compact and easy to control. For extended use or heavy sanding though , you cannot beat this tool.

|Stock remover, extraordinaire!…,
Belt sanders may be one of those power tools that aren’t pulled out often, but when you need to remove large quantities of stock, you will want to have one. The 9403, 4×24 sander is powerful, has good balance, good belt tracking and easy belt change. This Makita also picks up a very decent amount of sanding dust, has comfortable handles, a nice soft-start, and, most importantly, chews through stock with ease. This belt sander is possibly the best 4×24 on the market. I am very, very pleased with it.
It is a genuine pleasure to operate this Makita, compared to my old Craftsman 3×21 which I had received as a gift years ago. I spent as much time adjusting the belt tracking on the Craftsman as I did sanding, but since I used it infrequently, I just put up with the excessive noise and generally less than stellar performance. After using the 9403 for 2+years, I shake my head everytime I use it, wondering why I waited so long to replace my old one. I find myself pulling this sander out and using it more often. Long cords are always a big plus for me, often eliminating the need for extension cords in the shop. I just can’t find anything negative to say about this machine yet.
Note: Being advertised as ‘quiet’ at 84dB is pretty relative since >90dB for sustained periods will deafen… hearing loss is cummulative over time around high dB power tools (routers, table and miter saws, plate joiners, etc.) even if rated under the 90dB threshold… wear ear protection [Check out Peltor H10A Professional Earmuff Hearing Protectors].
