I have a 6 year old 5 amp Makita that I moved to cut off wheel duty after I got my bigger Makita. Model 9523nbh that I've absolutely abused and neglected, and it still works like the day I bought it. It was right around $50.
The main grinding duties go to my 3 year old 7.5 amp Makita 9557pb. I love this thing. It came in the box with my chop saw, both tools for $199.00
I had a Dewalt 7amp around the garage for a little while, and I would take my Makita over it any day.
