In 1958, Makita began to sell and repair motors and transformers, and then turned to the power tool industry in 1958, and is now one of the most well-known and market share brands in the power tool industry in Japan.
Makita's overall line of power tools is very extensive, with more than 160 tools using 18V lithium batteries, and more angle grinder products than the well-known Bosch brand. Household angle grinders with smaller power are positioned to be popular, although there are not many technical highlights, but they are of high quality and more durable, and the price is moderate. The high-power and rechargeable models are more technical, but the price is high, the bare machine price of the rechargeable angle grinder is as high as 1,000 yuan, and the price of lithium batteries of different specifications is calculated separately.
Makita angle grinders have a number of technologies, among which the most outstanding ones are XPT dustproof and waterproof drip technology, as well as SJS and SJSII. connection systems. XPT dustproof and waterproof drip technology is applied in DGA504 and 506 models, and SJS and SJSII. are less used in the two connection systems, only GA6020, GA9061 and GA9062 are available.
XPT dustproof and waterproof drip technology, through the inside of the machine to set up a ventilation wall, at the same time the outside of the motor to set a protective wall or sealed with rubber, so that dust and water droplets are not easy to soak, even if there are water droplets immersed can be discharged through the ventilation wall. Compared with the automatic slag removal system of the Dewalt Thor series angle grinders, Makita XPT technology is slightly less dust-resistant, but it can protect the motor well, and the defense capability is still much higher than that of many brands. It should be noted that this technology only improves the resistance of the machine, and does not mean that the machine will not fail when water droplets, dust, etc. invade.
Both SJS and SJSII. super-coupling systems improve the transmission system, but serve different purposes. The essence of the SJS coupling system is an anti-jamming rebound protection, a locking spring is added to the gear part to connect the spindle and the helical gear, when the grinding wheel is stuck, the locking spring becomes relaxed, so that the helical gear and the motor are separated, and rapid braking is realized. The SJSII. coupling system is characterized by the addition of leaf springs that can absorb vibrations in the middle of the helical gears and bearings, so that Makita's machines are superior to many brands in terms of vibration and noise.
Because Makita entered the Chinese market relatively early, and there are also OEM processing in China, so there are many counterfeit and shoddy products on the market, and you need to carefully screen and check the anti-counterfeiting mark when purchasing.
