12 AMP Power with SJS to Protect Gears
The 9564CV is powered by a 12 AMP motor with soft start for smoother start-ups. The five-stage variable speed dial (2,800 - 10,500 RPM) allows the user to match the RPM to the application. The electronic limiter stops the motor and reduces accidental motor overload and burnout, and the electronic speed control maintains consistent speed under load. Labyrinth construction protects the motor with a complex set of channels, prohibiting dust and contamination. In addition, the protective zig-zag varnish seals the motor and bearings from dust and debris by creating a barrier under rotation. The 9564CV is engineered with SJS, an innovation from Makita that protects the gears by automatically disengaging the motor should the grinding wheel accidentally catch or bind.

Comfort and Ergonomics
The 9564CV is built with comfort and ergonomic features for extended use. The grinder weighs just 4 pounds with a lock-on switch for easy operation. In addition, the side handle can be easily installed on either side of the tool, and the "tool-less" wheel guard adjustment provides easy clamping.

Variable Speed for Stone Work
The 9564CV is a versatile and powerful grinder with variable speed, allowing the user to set the RPM to the material. The variable speed control feature makes the 9564CV ideal for stone work, including polishing and grinding. The 9564CV is just another example of Makita's commitment to innovative technology and best-in-class engineering.

About Makita's Super Joint System (SJS)
Super Joint System (SJS) is an innovation from Makita engineering where the motor armature and spiral bevel gear are linked by a coil spring. If the grinding wheel catches or binds, the coil spring relaxes and disengages the gears from the motor. As the grinding wheel stops, the gears and motor are protected. Makita's growing line of SJS-equipped grinders includes models ranging from a 1/4" die grinder to a 7-inch angle grinder.

This grinder is just what I needed. I keep three different 4 1/2" grinders on hand, one with a thin cutting wheel, one with a flap-disc and this one, for heavy grinding in tight places. The power is equal to my 7" grinder, but much lighter and easier to handle. I enjoy the varible speed control and the size and fit of the Makita 9564CV fits perfect in my hand. I can use this grinder for extended periods of time without getting "writers-cramp" in my hands. It is a little heavier than other 4 1/2" grinders, but I expected that because of the 12 amp power. I have always enjoyed the comfort, style and reliability of Makita tools and this unit is no different. I usually perform a lot of research before buying any tool. Not only do I look at price, but mostly I want the most for my money. Makita provides all of my requests. I sometimes find better pricing than Amazon, but rarely do I receive my product as quick as when I order from Amazon. And I have never experienced anything arriving damaged or missing when I order from Amazon.

This review is from: Makita 9564CV 4-1/2-Inch Angle Grinder (Tools & Home Improvement)

Thanks for a GREAT product. The grinder arrived 1 day before scheduled. The packing was perfect. The grinder has no vibration. There are 5 variable speed settings. I used the grinder to sharpen 3 sets of lawn mower blades. Then used it to grind down the bolts holding the wood sides on my utility trailer. The grinder is very well balanced and a little on the heavy side. One handed grinding is uncomfortable. The switch is located on the side and is a positive detent for On and OFF. I look forward to many years of use.

I'm a contractor, and I buy the best tools I can find. Money is a distant second to quality, power, control, etc. I bought this to replace the Makita grinder that broke after only 20 years of commercial use (joke). I was going to get the same model, but decided to upgrade to this one. The soft start and variable speed were a big improvement. Much more control. This one has more power too so it doesn't bog down. Excellent device! I have large glove sized hands and the barrel grip was fine for me. If you have smaller hands, you might want to check for hand fit before purchase.
