Makita9565CV 5" SJS™ High-Power Angle Grinder

Bought this grinder for stone countertop fabrication. Makita quality wins the day.No wobble at all, nice and steady also variable speed.

The quality and condition of the items was exactly as described. The appearance of the items was excellent. The value was also a good buy. Fast shipping also.

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".

After about a year of use, I really like this grinder. It replaces an older 4", that I used for years, but it finally wore out the gears. This replaces it with more power, speed control, larger disk, and it's not really heavier. I really like it. If there is one suggestion, there is a pause between when you move the switch and when it acts. That keeps getting me - as I think I have not positioned the switch correct, so I turn it off again, but it starts spinning then stops. Not the best behavior. Have to turn it on and wait a couple seconds, then it starts up and does a great job. Just something niggly that I takes getting used to. Overall, I love the tool.

I bought this in order to convert it into a high speed paint remover. So far its been working awesome. The biggest problem I had was finding a way to do it that was cost effective. Most backer pads are made for orbital sanders not grinders so the arbor sizes don't match. However STADEA makes a 5" hook and loop backer pad that fits this thing perfectly. That coupled with my dustless technologies dust shroud and hepa vac means I can take off a lot of paint in a short period of time with very little to no mess. The one thing I did in order to improve the effectiveness of the dust shroud was drill holes into the STADEA backer pad that lined up with the 5 hole hook and loop sander discs I had. So far I have been very happy with this set up. And the fact that this thing is variable speed makes a world of difference. It would be next to impossible to do a good job at paint removal with a grinder turning 10,000 RPM's, I turn this down to its lowest setting and its about as fast as I would want in order to be able to control it.However I like the fact I can crank it up if I want to grind concrete, cut rebar, or do any of a number of other things with this thing. I highly recommend it.

I already have one just like it so I knew what to expect. It works fine. Missing parts but I have extra of everything so win win. Because everyone is always asking for comparisons I have two Milwaukee rat tails that I love. They are neck and neck except the Milwaukee's are not variable speed and the Makitas are chunkier. I had a metabo but got rid of it. IMO the metabo is like a semi truck and ones I have are like sports cards both have plenty of power but handle differently. IMO

All the major hardware stores don’t carry this model which has the dial to control the speeds. This the best and easiest model to use and the speed dial makes things so much easier
