The 15.0 AMP motor spins at 6,000 RPM to remove more material faster.
Smooth starts and longer gear life are possible because soft start reduces the start-up reaction.
In order to be more comfortable in different positions, the handle can be turned.
Tool-free wheel guards make it easier to make changes.
It has a three-position vibration-absorbing handle on the side for more comfort, says the manufacturer.
The Makita 9″ electronic angle grinder has a powerful 15 Amp motor that can handle the most difficult jobs.
The grinder has an all-metal housing that makes it more durable and protects it better. The wheel guard has a “tool-free” clamping system that makes it easy to adjust for grinding or cutting.
If you want to use a cut-off wheel, you’ll need to buy two extra flanges for $30 each. You’ll also need to buy a soft start and a handle that moves. It says in the manual that comes with the grinder that “(optional accessory)” is what you can get. They aren’t in the on-line manual, so you won’t know about this until you buy the grinder and read it. I used a diamond wheel without these, but when I couldn’t keep the blade in place, I bought these flanges. Because I had to tighten so much, I had to dish the blade. I wouldn’t use a cut-off without these “optional” flanges, and I wouldn’t use one without them. Accessories 224255-5 and 224305-6 are used to cut things that are 7 inches or 9 inches long.
