The following are the necessary specifications (5A, 10,000 RPM) This is a great grinder. Excellent value for the money. I really like this case. As to what exactly is included, I wanted to clear up any confusion. Here are some of its features There are two types of angle grinders covered
(1) 9557PB angle grinder plus (1) Side Handle Grip plus (1) The 27 guards are grouped by type (1) There are one guard. Five Makita Grinding Discs for steel/stainless and one Makita Diamond Blade are also included, together with the owner's manual that comes with the reel. It is made of aluminum and is equipped with zinc-plated latches and hardware. These latches should soon rust. For the jack floor and other zinc hardware, I spray nuts and bolts with zinc to protect against rust, but I don't want to lube them up If I could not open the case, I would never find out what was going on. Well, what the heck This is a better option A hard case with eggcrate foam on the lid and a thicker rubberized foam bottom with cutouts for tools and separate cutouts for discs is presented here. This wheel guard provides great protection for delicate The lid does not fully open, which is another thing I like. In the first hundred times that I throw the lid open and the lid hits the floor, it goes beyond vertical position and stops preventing damage to my lid. For me, this is my first Makita (since I'm a fan of Milwaukee and Rigid) This is a boy). I like how it works and is a great value. A Br*nks R70 disc was completely eaten by the virus - Keep the lock in place Due to its small size, I was able to maneuver behind the tight-fitting lock (as well as the hasp within) butted up against a corner and pass through the lock with ease. Written by hand. The grade is 7 on my 7-point scale It was a testament to having the right tool for the job that an 8-inch RGD angle grinder would not have been able to complete this task because of its size. This is how powerful and highly lethal this tool really is. It is better to be smaller in this instance. I will admit that the tool does not have the power of the big boys, but I'm not cutting through foundation or 2" plates. In addition, I am not destroying extension cords or flipping fuses every couple of The grinding wheels included with the kit can handle mild steel as well as stainless steel and are way better than the discs supplied by Horrible Freight. It is important that the included discs are precisely balanced as this is what drives the tool so smoothly. This probably has something to do with the new grinder and small diameter. Paddles are attached to this device Operation of a dead switch (dead-on) He had a lock- on his head If you turn it off, it can lock up A push button is located near the base of the paddle for turning it on. The feature is neat. As a whole, this grinder has been a great addition to my toolbox and I wish I would have Another might be on the way. It is an excellent tool, and from a world leader in the tool industry, I would expect nothing less. The little gem you just pointed out caught my attention, but I haven't switched teams yet from Milwaukee. The aforementioned P. When you want your vision to be clear, wear a face shield. You need more than safety glasses to protect yourself. Both should be worn. A pair of gloves and long sleeves completes the look.
Although the initial build quality, workmanship, and price of the angle grinder seemed good compared to its price, as someone who is not experienced with angle grinders, I was unaware of the possibility that the motor could be damaged by My over-working of the device while grinding concrete damaged the device within 24 hours of opening the box. In my opinion, Makita should have taken AT LEAST one of the following steps since this is a common problem with angle grinders It discussed the risk of overheating in the owner's manual, (b) provided a mechanism to alert the user if the internal temperature exceeds a set limit, and/or (c) included a warranty for this type of damage. It is unfortunate that none of the above is true.
While I had seen some warnings in reviews that it runs hot, I still bought it since it really appealed to me. In response, the advice given to those people was not to apply pressure, but to let the machine run naturally (which makes sense), as well as to run it in air to allow the engine to cool down (which also I received the package and took care of all the details. Although it ran hot quite quickly, it did not heat up as quickly as it might have. After 15 minutes would be a good estimate I used it for about 20 minutes in a somewhat intense manner. When the temperature drops, it takes more than an hour for it to cool. In the end, after having given it around one minute, I turned the computer off. It took about five hours to cool down, but when it reached normal temperature it ran extremely hot very quickly (in less than five seconds). It took approximately 7 minutes to reach the point of smoke After returning it, I sent it back. Other reviewers have warned us about this, and yet it still happens, so there must be something wrong with the -
Follow- To continue the job on which the Makita burnt up, I replaced it with Dewalt's DWE402K. Even the Dewalt doesn't even get warm doing the same job as the Bosch! The design of this Makita product does have some serious flaws, so yes, there's something seriously wrong.
I have a decent set of power tools, but I've never used this one before. The tool I've added to my toolbox has already proved to be a fantastic addition. In the past week, I have bought a new house and am in the middle of renovations. had made it clear to my builder that I would be putting in some sweat equity, so he put me to work removing the tile and prepping the floor so he could install the wood floor. Having beat the hell out of the floor for an hour I pulled out my phone and typed in "How to remove Thinset from a sub-domain or computer" When I searched for "floor" and saw a video, I saw a guy working with one of these things, along with a Diamond Grinding Wheel and a Dust Collection In the end, I ordered all 3 and waited impatiently for them to arrive.
Assembly was not too difficult. It's a little tricky after the first time to hold on to the lock pin while removing or adding a wheel, but other than that, it's pretty straight-forward. As for the dust shield, it was a little challenging to set up as well, but I'm sure it will get easier as I use it more. In the process, the dust shield would come in handy if you were to do It is important to me now that I cannot work without it. In addition, I am adding a picture of the floor from the day I started my project and one of the final result. There were some pieces of thinset that just would not come off with a hammer. So I used the hammer to knock out the loose material and then the grinder to finish. thing, unrelated to this grinder, that I wish I had known was that the expulsion chute was a LOT smaller than the end of the hose on my shop. The vacuum cleaner It's a good thing Duct Tape exists! I will need to purchase an adapter for future use. Oops, I messed up. The dust in the shop vac filter caused it to clog, so I had to clean it The grinder or dust hood are not at fault for any of these issues. Plus, we had a wall with nails poking through it, so we followed the directions as described and just pulled our grinder out and changed wheels in order to grind them off immediately. This thing is earning it's keep even before it's even been plugged in! It makes a huge difference to me to have this when I have a second floor in the bathroom to complete!.
