5" ANGLE GRINDER

Makita GA5030R Angle Grinder: Compact Power and Enhanced Safety for Precision Work

The Makita GA5030R is a highly popular 125mm (5") angle grinder, designed for professional tradespeople who require a compact, powerful, and safe tool for precise grinding, cutting, and deburring tasks. With its ergonomic design and key safety features, this corded grinder excels in tight spaces and provides comfortable, controlled operation for a wide range of applications.

Features

• Powerful 720W Motor: Delivers ample continuous input power (available in 110V or 240V versions) to tackle various materials efficiently, ensuring consistent performance.
• 125mm (5") Wheel Diameter: Compatible with standard 125mm grinding and cutting discs, offering versatility for a wide array of applications, including metal, masonry, and stone.
• High No-Load Speed (11,000 RPM): Provides the necessary speed for fast and effective material removal and cutting.
• Anti-Restart Function: A crucial safety feature that prevents the grinder from restarting automatically after a power interruption (e.g., power cut or plugging in while the switch is 'on'). The switch must be deliberately reset to "off" and then "on" again, significantly enhancing user safety.
• Soft Start Feature: Minimizes start-up shock and gradually increases speed, ensuring a smoother, safer start to operation and extending the life of the gears and motor.
• Ergonomically Designed Barrel Grip: Considered one of the best in its class, this slim-line grip is designed to fit comfortably in any user's palm and fingers, whether gripping the motor housing or the rear cover. This reduces hand fatigue and provides excellent control during extended use.
• Ergonomic 20° Side Grip Angle: The included side handle can be positioned at a 20-degree angle, further enhancing user comfort and control.
• Small Gear Housing: Its compact design allows for easy handling and manoeuvrability, making it ideal for working in confined spaces or performing detailed work.
• Machined Bevel Gears: Ensures smoother rotations, quieter operation, and efficient power transfer, contributing to the tool's durability.
• High Heat Resistance: The motor is designed with excellent heat resistance, allowing for robust performance even during continuous, demanding applications.
• Lock-on Switch: Allows for continuous operation without the need to constantly hold the trigger, reducing user fatigue during prolonged tasks.
• M14 Spindle Thread: Ensures compatibility with a wide range of industry-standard grinding and cutting discs (with a bore diameter of 22.23 mm).
• Double Insulation: Provides a critical additional layer of protection against electrical shock, enhancing user safety, especially on site.
• Lightweight Design: Weighs approximately 1.8 kg, contributing to reduced user fatigue and improved handling.
