I believe if you are a digital shop, you shouldn't be needing a grinder on site :shock:
Maybe double check your template. Then cut to size :grin:

The makita var speed (12 amp) 4.5" & 5" grinder are the exact same grinder. Only difference is the blade guard diameter.

This is true, I've used makita for years with great success. If you have an issue with one then call or email them and they will take care of you.
