The Makits maintains the speed better. The milwalkee slows down under pressure. You have to be very careful to blow out the dust, dry grinding is what kills them.

I have found the Makita is the best machine, I have machines that are 6 years old and running fine. Most of the time when I hear guys going through machines it caused by placing too much pressure on the machine, let the diamond do the work or they are placing their hand over the air vents causing an over heating problem.
I never put the handles on the machine, this helps from applying too much pressure onto the machine thus causing it to work too hard.
I use to have this problem with Flex machines and that why I don’t recommend a flex machine. Lighten up on the machine.
