Design of the 7.5 Amp motor for high output power in a more compact tool – it weighs only 3.5 pounds.
The protective zig-zag varnish on the motor protects it from contaminants by forming a barrier while the motor is rotating.
Coil wires are wound more closely together in order to reduce heat and energy loss.
Durability is ensured by the use of all ball bearings and a metal gear housing.
Alternate-current/direct current switch for use with alternative power source.
The Manufacturer’s Statemen.
The motor and bearing of this powerful 7.5 Amp angle grinder are protected from contamination thanks to an exclusive labyrinth construction that prevents contamination.
The 9557NBX is equipped with an AC/DC switch that is conveniently located on the top of the motor housing, as well as a barrel grip with a small circumference for easier handling.
My garage had been broken into, and among other things, my Dewalt angle grinder had gone missing, so I had to go out and get a new one. I really liked the Dewalt, but I wanted to try something different, so I went with the Makita as a replacement. While I enjoy the Makita and have never had a problem with it, I do find myself missing the Dewalt from time to time. The Dewalt I had was a 10 amp model, and I can honestly say that the lower amperage (7.5A) of the Makita isn’t a deal breaker for me at this point.
The trigger and the guard on the Dewalt are the two features that I miss the most about it. The trigger on this Makita is located near the head of the grinder. While the paddle trigger on the rear of the Dewalt is simple to use, I prefer the feel of the trigger on the front of the Dewalt. In addition, to change the orientation of the guard on the Makita, you must use a screwdriver to accomplish this. Again, this isn’t a big deal because anyone who owns an angle grinder should have a plethora of screwdrivers on hand, but the Dewalt had a toolless guard that was easier (and quicker) to reorient.
