Overview
Not a sander or a grinder, this is a stone polisher with an electronic motor that holds speed. The rubber pad bolts on, a front grip and a side handle give two-hand control, and a dust cover and head cover protect the housing.
Makita packs the pad, both handles, covers and wrench with it, so it works as soon as a pad is fitted. The limit is the electrical rating, which is not the usual US outlet figure, and wet or dry use is not described.
Who it's for
Countertop fabricators and tile installers who polish stone edges and small surfaces. Buyers who want a variable speed dial or a published wet polishing rating should check other models.
Pros and cons
- Rubber pad included
- Front grip and side handle
- Dust cover and head cover
- Voltage is 127 volts
- Fixed speed listed
- Wet use not described
- Water supply not listed
Performance notes
Speed and pad size set how fast the finish builds and how much area is covered in each pass. The rubber pad flexes over edges, and the two handles give leverage for steady pressure. Without a published wet rating, dry polishing is the safe assumption.
