13 AMP Power with SJS to Protect Gears
The 9564PC is powered by a 13 AMP motor that delivers 11,500 RPM, with soft start for smooth start-ups. 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 9564PC 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 9564PC weighs just 4.2 pounds and is built with comfort and ergonomic features for extended use. The paddle switch provides easy operation, and the gear housing can be positioned every 90° for operator convenience. In addition, the side handle can be easily installed on either side of the tool as well as the top, and the "tool-less" wheel guard adjustment provides easy clamping.

Versatile Design for a Range of Applications
The 9564PC is a versatile and powerful grinder engineered for demanding applications including cutting, ferrous metal, paint and rust removal, shipyard maintenance, heavy machinery, metal polishing, general steel grinding, auto repair work, cutting brick and masonry, and restoration work. The grinder is built for welders, fabricators, plumbers, masons, electricians, automotive technicians, stone and tile workers, HVAC, and general contractors seeking a best-in-class industrial quality angle grinder. The 9564PC 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 review is from: Makita 9564PC 4-1/2-Inch Angle Ginder with Paddle Switch (Tools & Home Improvement)

As a welder/fabricator, grinding is not my favorite part of any job. This grinder makes things go a little quicker. It has a LOT of power for its size and has very little vibration. Doesn't get real hot like some of the cheaper brands that I have had in the past. Nice soft start feature and the SJS feature is also helpful. Overall, this tool makes less WORK for me, and I like that. My first 4 1/2 in Makita lasted 11 years...then I bought the "yellow brand" at a big box hardware and it lasted 1 1/2 years. Going back to Makita was a no brainer!

*UPDATE* Bought in March of 2010 and here it is November 2011 and I have used and abused this grinder and it has not skipped a beat. I have been through literally hundreds of grinding wheels and not one complaint. Though, the soft start takes a little (very little) getting used to. The appearance at this point makes the grinder look 10 years old but it performs like new. I will keep updating until it dies...if it dies!

This grinder is exactly what I was searching for. Millwaukee just doesn't make grinders like they used too, and Metabo, even though they are highly ranked and priced, just didn't have what I wanted in a grinder. The soft start takes a bit to get use to, but the overall design and power makes this an almost perfect tool. Also, the price I aquired it at was very reasonable.
