Review: Great specialty sander - I bought the wire wheel for my Makita 9741 Wheel Sander. It is a quick way to open the grain or age wood in appearance. It works great on larger flatter areas but not so well into small recesses ( to get into tight areas I use a similar but much smaller wire wheel in a 1/4 inch die grinder). It's pretty much useless on tight grained woods like mahogany or poplar, but gives a great old and weatherbeaten look to more open grain woods like oak or ash. I have also found that I can make inexpensive pine or cedar look as if it sat in the desert sun for 50 years in a matter of minutes. Experiment with different types of wood till you find the results that you like. The abrasive nylon brush supplied with the sander may be useful for aging a painted finish, but is useless for aging bare wood. The sander itself has functioned flawlessly and wheel changes are simple to accomplish. This tool allows me to work on complex shapes such as moldings but as above it wont get into small recesses. Review: Must have for working with reclaimed wood. - I bought this to clean up reclaimed barn boards for a couple furniture projects. Reclaimed lumber usually coated with layers of dried dirt, loose debris and other stuff.. After all most of it comes from the inside of barns where the animals lived..... I needed to clean up the dirt and grime but definitely wanted to keep the patina and character of the wood. After an hour of wire brushing by hand, I ordered this machine from desertcart. Pricey, it seems to be the only on the market at this time, but it came within two days (desertcart Prime) and did exactly what I wanted it to do without the arm breaking labor in about 1/3 of the time. Great machine and seems really well built. Use it outside hooked up to a vacuum , and do your lungs and sinuses a favor and wear a dusk mask. It creates clouds of dust. I have not tried to raise grain or to sculpt with it, but I don't think its designed to do those things. Stick to what its made for and it will work well for those tasks. If you have a bunch of old lumber that needs to be cleaned without ruining the patina, this is what you need. ## Features - Powerful 7.8 AMP motor delivers 3,500 RPM for faster work - Ideal for grain texture revealing, rust and paint removal, clearing dust, dirt, and grit from exterior surfaces, polishing, and concrete mold cleaning - Innovative design for sanding flush to wall with nose and side of sander - Adjustable front roller for uniform pressure to workpiece - Well balanced with a low center of gravity for easy operation ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | AC Adapter Current | 7.8 Amps | | ASIN | B000I6QVTA | | Amperage Capacity | 7.8 Amps | | Battery Description | Corded Electric, 115V | | Best Sellers Rank | #513,315 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #130 in Power Disc Sanders | | Brand | Makita | | Brand Name | Makita | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 222 Reviews | | Disc Diameter | 4 inches | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00088381003346 | | Grit Number | 80 | | Grit Type | Medium | | Included Components | (2) Hex Wrench (783204-6), Nylon Brush Wheel, 100 Grit, Medium (794379-6) | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 12.25"L x 4.75"W x 12.25"H | | Item Type Name | Makita 9741 Wheel Sander | | Item Weight | 9.3 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Makita | | Manufacturer Part Number | 9741 | | Maximum Rotational Speed | 3500 RPM | | Model Number | 9741 | | Power Source | ac | | Product Dimensions | 12.25"L x 4.75"W x 12.25"H | | Shape | Cylindrical with Circular Base | | UPC | 088381003346 784497283244 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Voltage | 115 Volts | ## Product Details - **AC Adapter Current:** 7.8 Amps - **Brand:** Makita - **Grit Type:** Medium - **Power Source:** ac - **Voltage:** 115 Volts ## Images ![Makita 9741 Wheel Sander - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61Qb5XAF6VL.jpg) ![Makita 9741 Wheel Sander - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51xn2sLgBGL.jpg) ![Makita 9741 Wheel Sander - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/611ZJNU3raL.jpg) ![Makita 9741 Wheel Sander - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61A2VxEzhWL.jpg) ![Makita 9741 Wheel Sander - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/718Z96-G98L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Does this come with a wire brush or a nylon wheel? and what would be the difference? does nylon wear faster?** A: Mine came with the nylon brush. The difference between the two is significant. The wire brush is much more stiff and removes more material, great for pulling out the sap wood and giving a distressed weathered texture and look to wood. The wire brush wears much quicker though I've gone through 2 and still have my original nylon brush. The nylon is great for cleaning, I use it for clesning up old reclaimed boards when I don't want to sand them. Doesn't do much in the way of removal though. **Q: How many feet will the wire brush sand** A: Depending on type of wood anywhere from 100 to over 1,000. We have done thousands of feet of cypress with same wheels. **Q: Is this recommended for use on a vertical concrete barrier wall to strip off peeling paint and adhesive? If not do you have any suggestions? Thank you** A: Yes it can certainly be used on both horizontal and vertical surfaces. Just make sure you are using safety glasses and dust mask because it throws the occasional wire off the wheels. **Q: Has anyone used this for refinishing cabinets? Going from stain finish to painted on red oak.** A: The main purpose of this product (for me) using the included wheel/brush is to rapidly pull dirt and loose weathered/splintered wood off of reclaimed wood projects. In the case of my included video, these were 80+ year old doors off of an old building from Mexico. It has other wheels for various applications; however, I have never used it for anything other than pre-sanding jobs. There is no better tool I have found for this purpose. Best of luck. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great specialty sander *by T***R on January 22, 2013* I bought the wire wheel for my Makita 9741 Wheel Sander.

I am using it to clean up a very large order of dried rough-sawn redwood, who's rough appearance I wanted to maintain. The lumber had a lot of oxidation on the surface, as happens with all wood over time, as well as random particles from the environment. Applying any finish to this wood requires that the surface be cleaned if a quality result is to be likely. Pressure washing is a typical approach, but not appropriate for my situation. Sanding with even a 40 grit sandpaper virtually wipes out the wood character. I started using a wire broom style push brush. It worked extremely well but was far too labor intensive. The amount of loose material that came off the lumber was unexpectedly high, and it left the boards just right with all their character. I hunted for other solutions and found this. This thing does a great job and it has paid for itself a few times over for me, with the stock nylon brush. It doesn't go down deep, I still follow up with the wire push brush but just a few strokes and I'm done. The makita removes a bit of the wood character but hardly noticeable. I don't think it brings out any grain ... I think it mostly just removes particles that have little to no bond with the wood core. If you apply finish to these particles, I think it would be better to have a little grain removed than have the finish fail over time. The sander has a nice little depth adjuster in front that allows you to control the pressure the brush puts own as it spins, I think you might be able to optimize this dynamic to get the cleaning function and raise the grain a little but I didn't try, I had full pressure all the way since that was very quick and gave me a pleasing result. ## Frequently Bought Together - Makita 9741 Wheel Sander - MAKITA 794382-7 Wire Brush Wheel,For 9741 - Makita 794384-3 Nylon Brush Wheel, 80 Grit, Coarse --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.br/products/9619608-makita-9741-wheel-sander](https://www.desertcart.com.br/products/9619608-makita-9741-wheel-sander) --- *Product available on Desertcart Brazil* *Store origin: BR* *Last updated: 2026-05-23*
