Makita 9237CB (179764)

Most popular among professionals

The Makita 9237CB polisher cannot be called light (it weighs 3.4 kg), because a similar tool of the same power class can be half a kilogram or even a kilogram lighter. But it has no other serious shortcomings (if you close your eyes to the price). Therefore, this model is one of the most popular among polishers with plates up to 180 mm.

Lacquer and paint — in complete safety

With such a tool it is convenient to perform delicate work that requires careful handling. The machine is equipped with a starting current limiter and electronics that maintain the speed at a constant level in case of load changes. These functions are necessary to completely eliminate flaws in the final grinding and polishing of expensive automotive paintwork. The gearbox is insulated with plastic. You can hold on to it if you need to remove the front handle. In addition, such insulation reduces the thermal effect on the treated surface, and there is less chance of overheating the varnish. At all speeds, the machine runs smoothly and quietly (no louder than 94 dB — not that loud for a device with a 1200 W motor), which is important for DIYers who use the tool for several hours at a time.

It's hard to find something better

The professional Makita 9237CB machine is worth buying if car bodywork, lacquered furniture production or stone polishing are not a hobby for you, but an everyday activity. But the price of this model "bites". Therefore, for work in the garage or home workshop, among the extensive model range of Makita polishers, you should choose something cheaper.
