MAKITA DIE GRINDER FOR WOODWORKING
I BOUGHT MY GRINDER TO USE ON MY WOODWORKING WORKING PROJECTS. I WAS IMPRESSED BY ITS LIGHTWEIGHT AND THE ABILITY TO HOLD IT IN MY HAND WHILE USING IT ON MY WOOD PROJECTS. I NEEDED SOMETHING THAT COULD HOLD METAL BURRS FOR RAPID REMOVAL OF WOOD AND THIS PRODUCT HAS DONE REALLY WELL. I ALSO WENT OUT AND BOUGHT THE 1/8 INCH SIZE COLLET SO I COULD USE MY 1/8 INCH BURRS. OVERALL I HAVE USED THIS FOR 3 YEARS AND NUMEROUS OF PROJECTS. I INTENDED TO BY A FOREDOM CARVING TOOL, BUT THIS SEEMED MORE PORTABLE AND MORE PRACTICAL USES AROUND THE SHOP. I GUESS MY ONLY COMPLAINT IS THAT SOMETIMES THE SPEED IS TOO HIGH AND I WISH THEY HAD ANOTHER SETTING AT 10,000 RPM’s INSTEAD OF 25,000, IT TENDS TO BURN THE WOOD WHEN I HAVE ON A SANDING SLEEVE. EVENTUALLY THE MOTOR WILL BURN OUT BECAUSE OF THE WORK I PUT IT THROUGH BUT 3 YEARS LATER, IT STILL RUNS FINE. SO I RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT BECAUSE OF ITS MANY PRACTICAL USES. I HAVE USED THIS ON WOOD SCULPTURES, STONE, AND METAL. THERE ARE MANY TYPES OF CUTTING AND SANDING ATTACHMENTS YOU CAN USE WITH THIS GRINDER, JUST BE SURE TO WEAR EYE PROTECTION!

“SIMPLY THE BEST”, “A TRUE WORKHORSE”
I have been doing flowbench developed porting for over 22 years. Sometimes my porting bench runs 12 hours a day. I own (in use at this site) more than 8 air die grinders, 8 hand held electrics(makita!), and 2 remote cable driven units. Years ago (1982) I was looking for an affordable electric die grinder, I tried several $80 - $100 units NONE LASTED more than a few days! EXCEPT THE MAKITA YOU SEE HERE! I still have the first 2 I bought, DATED 1982, until a few weeks ago only brushes and a switch had ever been replaced!! These 2 have THOUSANDS of hours use. Finally I had to replace a shaft in 1!! A true industrial quality tool @ a hobby price! Ken

Performance
The Makita GE0600 Die Grinder is the best performing grinder for the money on the market today. Have had this tool for over one year and have put it through its paces. It is of a comfortable size and is powerful enough to handle the most demanding tasks. Davis Woodworking Inc.
