CATERPILLAR

lol thanks man (shh dont tell the milwaukee fans )

damn lol i wont tell i am a makita fan too

hell ya good lookin piece are you a big fan of makita or whats u like

idk i wouldn't want to open it after that long all nice and new lol

They are very durable I own two of the 9.6v drills that are close to that model.I also own two older 12v that are older and are very durable and nothing has broken on them its just eventually the batteries die if you don't have them fully charged and leave them for a long time,overcharge them and run them completely down a lot . Like I said before they are very durable.On black Friday at my local home depot, i am hoping those batteries will go on sale I will buy them. I have a 9.6v jigsaw that is old that runs off of the same battery.

so hitachi bought metabo? and makita is its own company

I never thought of that . That is so crazy who owns them Makita or Metabo seriously I though Metabo bought them.

wow, what the hell is going on the stuff looks almost exact like makitaś products from the impact driver to the angle grinders. I guess Hitachi is a wanna be making

Hey guys i was wondering if any of you have or have seen a makita 9308 bench grinder.it looks like a killer machine

My makita 10inch mitersaw that i recently got at a publicsurplus auction for 27.35 and it was in a little bit of ruff shape and cord was very bad and needed to be greased and cleaned very well.I have included only two before and the rest are after i was done with it. i also made a base so i dont ruin the cast iron one. i tore the saw completly apart and clean everything .There are some a couple videos on my youtube channel which ishttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCv5UsmoaOKv06LfOdEE91kA if you would like to check them out. i repainted the base and the arm parts and the guard .also on the guard was a crack from somebody tightened the screw down to hard.So i got jb weld and a pair of vise grips and fixed it . Then i painted the guard after the glue dry and put a new makita sticker on it. This saw is anywhere from 1983 to 87 this model was made .total time spent cleaning the parts and painting i would say 12 to 15 hours.

I went downstairs to my shop opened the door turned on the light and all of my makita and bosch were replaced with dewalt and i was heart broken

i was wondering your guys opinion on the Makita 2414NB 14-Inch Portable Cut-Off Saw and theMakita LW1401 Cut-Off Saw, 14" and if any of you guys owned ethier of them thanks for stoping by have a good one

thanks kornomaniac

yea i think they made the parts and that in japan and had china put them together but idk

Looks Hella amazin man did you restore it ?

I was wondering if makita was makiing som things in japan again i found these couple pictures.

Welcome to the forum

the rubber piece on top so it doesnt move just like you said thanks for stoping by have a good one

Here is an update for the 9 inch bosch grinder i asked for yalls help and you gave it and i thank each and everyone of you that commented on my other Bosch post. i edited up being one lucky duck and finding a tool repair guy 30 mins away and offered to do it for $30.00 to take the old one out and give me a new one and put it in.The grinder its self is running hella good havent had time to buy a wheel for it and i still need to build a guard for it and i decided to include some pictures of it and will post a video on my youtube channel when the guard is finished.A Little background on this grinder my grandfather worked for a cement company years ago and they were going to throw it away but he saved it and used it for different things and years latter i take it home to clean little did i know he was going to give it to me and i did offer him money but he wouldn't take it and all together in this restoration i have around 25 hours and i am glad nothing is broke because i can't find this model anywhere i even email and talked to Bosch and looked all over .i am guessing this grinder is about 35 to 40 years old and proudly made in Germany

Thanks Everyone For Your Imput Monday I Will Try To Go to a local bearing shop and talk to them

Hi Guys I have a Older Bosch Grinder That I Was In The process of putting back together .As I was I was Spinned the bearing and it fell apart. I need Your guys help to know what should i do . i have alright talked to bosch about it and they dont carry the part and i have tryed to take off the middle of the bearing as u can see in the picture it is infront of the fan and i am not able to take it off and have tryed some to put the bearing balls and outer bearing housing back on but can never get all of the balls back in. i was wondering if there is a way that i can shove all the bearings back in at once .

If you haven't tryed these bits yet you are missing out . They are $20.00 at home depot and they were on sale on Christmas time for $10.00 . But any way I have used them a lot with my makita impact driver , 1/2 corded makita drill and cordless 1/2 makita drill and they are amazing.They have the numbers painted white on them but also it is carved in them to so when it wears out you can still tell . The bit extender has two alan key screws and the set comes with a Alan key too ! The most heavy duty work I have done was a railroad tie to 1/2 pine and all sorts of thickness. Starting to sound like a salesman lol anyway highly recommended bits 10 piece set (: Here is the link to them on home depot http://www.homedepot.com/p/Bosch-Daredevil-Spade-Bit-Set-10-Pieces-DSB5010/203274429 I can't find the exact same set but here is closest without the bit extender it is extra for it you have to buy it alone.
