Makita PW5001C 4-Inch Wet Polisher

The Makita PW5001C Wet Stone Polisher combines a 7.9-amp motor with variable-speed control for professional stone polishing applications. Its speed dial allows the operator to select settings from 2,000 to 4,000 RPM, while electronic speed control helps maintain a consistent speed under load.

A soft-start feature supports smooth startups, and the included Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter plug provides electrical protection during wet operation. An overload switch helps protect the armature from failure.

Three holes at the top of the spindle distribute water evenly to the polishing pad and help prevent clogging. The common water fitting accepts popular water-hose connections, while the included side handle supports operator control.

The polisher weighs 5.1 pounds and features a housing cover that protects the industrial die-cast aluminum gear housing.
