I have had my Makita for over 20 years. I know when I was younger, I ground it down to a dead stop a few times, but it kicked like a mule when I let it up and it kept growling and pulling down to the wood while it was stuck. It's a 7 abouts. What I want next is that little crocodile saw. High RPMs, and seems to be very versatile. Sounds like something that could cut out tongue and grove pannelling where necessary. I wonder how tight it turns with the right blade?
