Thanks for posting. I am so happy that Makita has changed to a sensible collet system and will get my tool suppliers to let me know when they are available here in the UK on 18v grinders. They are so much better than the 'old' system, and you will learn to appreciate them with time ;) I moved to 18v Makita system a couple of years ago due to the considerably lower vibrations from battery tools, and always wear anti-vibe gloves, not thin ones! (Something else you will learn with time). Happy carving and have a good week.
Great comprehensive review Ryan. Points to note for UK buyers, the machine is supplied with a 6mm collet. It will NOT accept the 1/8” burrs from Kutzall etc. You can change the collet to 3mm, 6.35mm (1/4) and even 8mm, but you’re looking at £20-30 per collet. Also, the ‘engine’ is an electric motor 😅.
What's the difference between the gd0800c and the gd0801? Im looking to buy but I found mini differences online and im not sure what one to get! Thanks
Hay Ryan another great video, I to have just got the GD0800C its a great machine, I also got a Kutzall extreme flame burr for it but was very disappointed to find it didn't fit the collette, it only went in about 10mm and was very unstable, any tips on how to get it to fit better ? And do Makita do a 1/8 collette so you can use smaller burrs, have you personally, or know anyone who has tried an 1/8 burr in a GD0800C, if so how successful was it, any links would be greatly appreciated thank you. 😊😉👍
Hey Bro 🤘 The GD800 is a BEAST ! I use the GD600 n its great so I can imagine how much better the 800 is. Makita make great tool end off 💪. Hope your good 🤟
Ryan, excited to take my carving to the next level with this tool! But…when I put the sand-o-flex on the die grinder, my grinder smokes. What am I doing wrong?
I've always wanted to carve an eagle trying to take a fish from a momma bear and cub?do you think it could be carved from a single skinny log? It would be cool to see the transformation! You are one of the masters! At least my sensi!thanks brother!keep on carvin!
Good video thanks, i to like the Old collet system why do they have to change something that worked great. the spanners should come with pre drilled holes in the ends so we can tie them together. Also agree they should paint the spanners bright red .
Die grinders are primarily used in metalwork shops and factories. They are basically a huge, powerful Dremel or rotary tool. Uses are for cleaning out holes / gaps in rough castings or drilled areas, removing burrs etc. Once you buy one you start looking for uses for it lol. 😊
Got rid of all my cords. Got all Dewalt cordless tools for compatibility reasons but I have no brand loyalty. Once you go cordless you will never go back
i wish you could do my dead dog she passed away days after giving birth she was a blonde toy poodle she was kinda mean and i loved her dearly but shes gone now only ones left :[
I hate the collet system on this die grinder. Hate it! Hate it! Hate it! I don’t like Makita anyway but I thought I’d try this die grinder. Just got it and I am reminded why I don’t like Makita. It’s like the people who design their tools have never made anything. At the moment, I can’t get the collet loosened no matter how hard I turn the wrenches. Grrrrrrrrrr

I just placed an order for this tool after watching your review. Just what I needed to make an informed decision. Thanks for this video.

You bet! more an more to come
The paddle-switch model is the GD0801C……the new one you demonstrated with (out of the box) was model GD0800C. GREAT VIDEO like all of them! Yew!

they do have other collets
The new collet setup should prevent the situation where the collet binds on the tool shaft.

Welcome
When did Nick Swardson start doing carving?

@@RyanCookCarvin okay

i have the cordless die grinder for makita it doesnt have the power neither does the DeWald or the air ones in my opinion
@@RyanCookCarvin I agree. The corded has more power. But I def don't miss tripping over cords.

On expensive side $500 Canadian.

Wow. $300 here in Connecticut
