Heavy DUTY
I've had this unit for over a year which is used quite often at my shop. It's use is for cutting plastics and metal, basically needed a REAL duty tool to get away from wasting time with the dremel. This unit has a lot of torque and really grinds, combined with the proper cutting bits and you've got a really strong tool. Its pretty unforgiving so if you mess up, the unit can yank you around.. real important that you are cautious when using this tool.
Only thing thats a bit weird, not sure if its only my unit or how these work in general, but it takes about half a second from when you flick to the switch to when the rotary starts turning, almost like a slight delay. Overall its a very smooth and reliable tool.
A serious tool!
I also purchased this tool for use with "Kutzall" carbide bits, specifically for use with their "Wood Blaster" 2" domed bit since it has a limitation of 10K RPMs. The adjustable speed of the GD0800C fit the purpose beautifully, allowing amazing control for scribing branches into beautiful Adirondack style railings. Call me a bit cynical, but not every Makita tool has been a winner in my 30-year carpentry career. This one sure is.
Yes, it's a large tool, but the extra weight and leverage helps to keep it from deflecting off your workpiece. It runs very smoothly on ball bearings, has excellent ergonomics and enough power to not bog down or overheat even in hard daily commercial use. I expect it to last for decades. Sure, it takes two wrenches to change a bit, but if you've ever had a router bit slip and ruin a piece of work, you'll appreciate the security and safety this gives. If you have small (or large) hands, you can still choke up on the metal shaft for precise control.
The one downside I see with this tool is that it could use an optional ringed handguard to keep precious flesh away from more aggressive bits and the collet when choking up. A bit of plastic would make this a superior tool Makita.
It's got power
It's a great die grinder plenty of power but a bit on the large size. It's hard to get in to tight corners. I am a cabinet maker and I use it for cutting off stray staples and nails. In this application it is definitely overkill
