My big Makita grinder has always had a problem with the switch where it occasionally just would not start. When it started it produced such a startup surge that it often tripped the braker.
Quite annoying. To solve the issue, I replaced the switch and retrofitted a soft starter in an epic, adventurous journey. So come with me! Let's learn together!

    The "I got myself a Makita repair shop license" was a good one. Nice repair.
  • I love those kind of safety shoes. Real leather is always the best protection.

    Thats a real man grinder . I have that 7 inch and the 9 ga9040s. On that model it just have a big resistor to soft start .

    One good tip is that if you do more cutting then grinding, you can rotate the handle the hold it more comfortably
