Makita - 2400W 230mm Angle Grinder - GA9040S01
This 230mm Angle Grinder from Makita features the soft-start system whereby the powerful 2400W motor drive will build up speed gradually irrespective of trigger depression. This reduces the torque kick on start up, a further safety feature. The maximum no load speed is 6600rpm. The machine has a rotatable rear handle that can be positioned to suit most cutting and grinding operations (90 degrees R/L). Both the rear and side handle use vibration reduction technology. The side handle uses a low vibration grip and the main rear handle is effectively separated from the motor body by a pivot fulcrum and rubber damper system. When the grinder is being used, vibration is transmitted into the rear handle but with the new handle system, the pressure from the operator on the handle makes it pivot on the fulcrum, which engages the rubber damper, thus absorbing the vibration before it reaches the grip area. It has zig-zag varnish on the armature coil and protective powder varnish on the field coil with vent slots designed to minimise dust entrance.

Very good make very good tool .
Not had a great deal of use yet but has efficiently cut mild steel and concrete blocks!
Great tool. Not the cheapest but it is a reliable make and very comfortable to old which not all grinders of this size and weight are. Also has a soft start which is very useful and makes it much safer all round.
Ripper great tool great service
Product conform to my expectations very easy to use, I use it regularly seen my job
Best angle grinder at the moment
I did not use this product personally because I offered it and the person who uses it is very satisfied easy to handle, precision, she knows what she is talking about because she works in the "building".
