What are the RPM on this machine, the last time I used a Milwaukee hand grinder the lowest rpm were 1000, this is too fast to use on counters unless you like to do a lot of clean- up. This is why I recommend the Makati, also Flex makes a machine with low RPM. I don't like cleaning up splashes. John E.

I got it at CPO Milwaukee for $219.99. It doesn't come with any attachments except a detachable handle.
