I agree with John. Can't kill the Makitas.
My oldest one is about five years old and it is still like new.
I flattened a marble floor this summer down in Niantic. Brand-new install with a horrible lippage. 300 ft.² and every grout line needed to be flattened. I ended up using my Makitas to remove the lippage because I was limited on time and it was a two hour ride each way.
We rotated three machines with two technicians and ran them for 8 to 10 hours a day dry grinding. I thought for sure we would burn at least a few of them out but they are still like new.

Caution, I have had problem burning up the speed control on the flex machine. My techs like that machine but they burn up too fast. Even the one flex gave me to use in training only lasted 3 classes and the speed control burned up. the mikita keeps going and going .

I use flex 1503 for sanding because its lightweight. Then i switch to the flex variable speed for polishing

Hey Pros, for polishing marble walls & small counter tops we use the Dewalt DW849. Variable speed polisher. It works great and is very light weight but my guys seem to burn them up about every year & half. Does any one know of one as light weight that last longer?
I have a Milwaukee that has lasted over 7yrs & still run strong but it's too heavy.
Any ideas?
