at work one of our customers returned this the other day broken and wanted a brand new one instead of having it repaired..

so we sent it back to the factory to be refurbished and now have my very own badass die grinder.

makitia GD0800C

it has a variable speed switch
7-28k rpms

this isnt my first die grinder by any means... just my first nice one.
ive had several cheapie harbor freight style..

i just had to tell someone... i only had to pay the refurb fee's which were less than 1/3rd of what the tool cost new @ my cost

Very cool! I have a Makita GEO600 and an electrician friend wired a control knob from a baseboard heater next to the plug so I can vary the speed.
