Description
Makita GA5040C 125mm Variable Speed Angle Grinder — 1,400W
The GA5040C is the 125mm grinder you reach for when the job demands control. A 1,400W motor gives you enough grunt for heavy grinding and cutting, but the real difference is the variable speed dial — you can drop the RPM right down to 2,800 for polishing or fine work, then wind it up to 11,000 when you need to chew through steel.
At 2.5 kg it sits nicely in the hand without wearing out your wrists on long jobs. The slim body and side handle keep it balanced, and the 2.5-metre cord means you’re not hunting for extension leads every time you move across the site.
What you get out of the box
- 125mm depressed centre grinding wheel
- Tool-less adjustable guard
- Side handle
- Lock nut wrench and inner flange
- 2.5m power cord

Who’s it for?
If you’re welding, fabricating, or doing restoration work and you need one grinder that handles both aggressive stock removal and controlled finishing, the GA5040C fills that gap. The variable speed is especially handy on stainless or aluminium where too much heat ruins the finish.
Worth adding
Grab the Makita dust collection cover (199710-5) if you’re cutting concrete or masonry — it clips straight on and keeps the mess down.
