Amazing smooth start. Outstanding power-to-weight ratio!

Fantastic I recommend. I work as a mobile heavy equipment mechanic and keep that in my service truck. The soft start was well designed and eliminated the sudden jerk I experienced with older mills of this size. I run the primary part of my diesel welder, AC 120V AC outlet (20 hours so far). The heavier weight helps balance it with the power delivery. The movable protection turned out to be very convenient. The multi-position front grip can save the day when your hands aren't in a dominantโ€ฆ

Pros
  • 9564PC
Cons
  • I will add later

Worth the investment

I've had this grinder for about five months and I'm still as impressed with it as I was the day I picked it up. In my opinion this is one of the best heavy duty 7 inch grinders on the market. American quality is second to none. Although it's on the heavy end of the spectrum, it's very comfortable and easy to drive when you can use gravity to your advantage, especially with the soft start feature that eliminates the effects often associated with the torque spike that I experience all too oftenโ€ฆ

Almost perfect Best of all grinders

I bought this Makita GA7040S 20 days ago. I have a small 4 inch Makita grinder that is about 17 years old and works great. But I need a bigger mill for a big job. Makita GA7040S industrial size and quality. PRO: Very good design including ergonomics. The soft start technology is great, no judder, no kickback, no vibration and it's the quietest grinder compared to other brands. The 15Amp 8000RPM motor makes big jobs very easy. Yes, this grinder is for extra large jobs, not for the average bodyโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Wheel guard (122767-1)
Cons
  • Big and bulky
