This water fed Makita polisher is ideal for use with all Ø 100 mm wet diamond polishing pads and water fed drums. It has variable speed control that is useful for traditional abrasives and is both lightweight and powerful. The PW5000C has a quick release hose connection at the back and feeds water through the spindle. The spindle has a splitter which forces water out radially, ensuring that the surface of the pad does not overheat or clog. The machine is double insulated for safety. It has Soft Start which accelerates the pad gradually up to speed and eliminates any kick when the machine is switched on. It also has Electronic Power Control which maintains the selected speed under load. Please note this machine is not supplied with a blade guard or with flanges as it is not designed for cutting. A rubber spray guard is an ideal accessory for this machine. The guard stops water from spraying up your sleeve!
