Makita has launched six new heavy-duty mains angle grinders in 110V and 240V formats, each with a 2,000W motor. Three machines have 180mm diameter wheels and the others have 230mm wheels.

The tools have a more rigid motor housing for robustness, and they have a flat top surface for stability when the wheel is being changed. They also have a new style of side-grip for better control and operator comfort

The 180mm grinders, namely the GA7060, GA7060R and the GA7061RX02 models, are designed to accommodate wheels up to 6.5mm thick and to run up to 8,500rpm. The 230mm grinders, the GA9060, GA9060R and GA9061RX02, will run at speeds up to 6,600rpm. For more details visit www.makitauk.com
