Don't buy any other. Used my last one for 5 years and probably cut out a thousand granite sinks and it's still going. Just change the brushes every so often---very easy and blow it out with some compressed air to clean it. Powerful as hell but you'll get used to it. Cannot stress enough that you're throwing away you're money if you buy anything else.

After a lot of research into angle grinders I chose this Makita, and am very satisfied. The grinder has a nice weight to it, the switches and speed setting have a sturdy feel to it, and the tool has plenty of power. Having the variable speed was crucial to a job I was doing that needed lower speeds. At high speed this thing should be able to cut through anything. It's also nice that it is a 5" which is more power and speed that a 4.5".

This Angle grinder is a great piece of equipment, works great, has lots of power. Can't go wrong buying this one.

I Own a granite shop and we used to get a year out of these grinders but now 2 months if we are lucky. I talked with a repair guy and they have different colored labels and he said certain colors are not worth rebuilding. I have about 50 of these that are broken. on the other hand ALL of the manufacturers don't hold up well including Dewalt, Milwaukee, etc... Granite is tough but 5 years on one grinder (previous post ) no way with today's quality in my business. They have changed to cheaper parts or something because these are not what they use to be. so instead of buying them every six months I am buying them 4-6 a month. great for Makita but bad for the consumer. I will find a replacement. I am just disgusted with Makita.

i had some granite installed and this is a version of the grinder they used. i got one for myself i love the adjustable speed feature. the bosch i've been using spins at 12000 rpm with can be abit jumpy. for polishing this this is the shiznit.

I used this Makita variable grinder to cut dry pavers and cement. It works well with Makita segmented diamond blade. I can the control speed of the grinder by cutting dry paver but you need the high speed. Highly recommend Makita variable speed grinder. Only Makita has 3 size of variable speed grinder 4 1/2, 5 and 6 inch.

This is a great tool. We use it for cutting granite and it works just great it's a good tool
last one was used for several years before it giving up the ghost

This grinder works very well. It has a wide speed range, is sturdily built and is a nice weight!

My husband purchased this to work on some granite counter tops for my kitchen and he has been extremely impressed with how easily it handles. A definite recommendation from us.

I'm new to the world of grinders, but needed one to cut through 1 5/8" steel pipe. This did the job nicely. It also cut through a Kryptonite lock that a friend had used to lock up his bike (on the balcony of his apartment, I checked) without any problems.
