Makita GD0601 1/4-Inch Die Grinder

The Makita GD0601 1/4-Inch Die Grinder combines a powerful 3.5-amp motor with a slim-body design for grinding in a range of applications. The Makita-built industrial motor delivers 25,000 RPM, while the small-diameter barrel grip and conveniently positioned slide switch support comfortable handling and operation.

Front and rear air vents help the motor run cooler during continuous use and direct airflow away from the operator's face. Labyrinth construction and protective zig-zag varnish help shield the motor, bearings and armature coil from dust and debris.

The solid aluminum housing features a stepped-neck design for working in tight spaces and is protected by a removable rubber boot. An AC/DC switch allows the grinder to be used with alternative power sources.
