Makita GA5091X01 – 5" Angle Grinder with Mechanical Brake & Thumb Switch

The Makita GA5091X01 delivers professional-grade performance in a compact 5" angle grinder designed for precision work. Featuring SJS II (Super Joint System) technology, this grinder actively prevents kickback during wheel lock-up, safeguarding both tool integrity and operator safety. The thumb switch with lock-on function provides ergonomic control, while variable speed dial and constant speed control enable precise adjustments for different materials. Soft start reduces inrush current, and the electronic current limiter protects the motor from accidental overload. Mechanical brake stops the wheel quickly for enhanced efficiency. Anti-restart function adds an extra safety layer, making this grinder ideal for metalworking, fabrication, and construction applications.
