The 9564 series grinder is designed with our exclusive Super Joint System (SJS), labyrinth construction and advanced motor protection to withstand the most harsh working conditions. SJS helps prevent gear damage which often occurs if the grinding wheel accidentally catches or binds and the labyrinth construction seals and protects the motor and bearings from dust and debris by creating a complex set of chamels prohibiting contamination. Finally, a protective zig-zag varnish seals the motor from contamination by forming an impenetrable barrier under rotation. Together, Makita's Industrial Angle Grinders are equipped with the advanced technology for a long lasting, durable tool. Expect the best and get it with Makita.

I followed the instructions by not actuating the shaft lock while the spindle was still moving, but the shaft lock still stripped out rending the tool useless. I'm sure Makita will repair it under warranty, but they'll just replace the same gear mechanism with another that will strip out in another six months, so what we have here is simply a defective design. Too bad, as the the rest of the tool seemed to be very high quality.See all 2 customer reviews...
