    God bless the people that appreciate old tools and keep Hitachi and Makita running in Japan. Those brands are extremely popular there. People need to look at tool restoration like this. "The tool served you a long and hard life and paid for itself 100 times over. Show some appreciation to what little good craftsmanship we have left, return the favor to the tool. Give it a rebuild."

    Machines like these one were made to resist 2 or 3 lives and, with restorations like yours, things will work for more 30 years.

One thing I like alot is that it's surprisingly quiet. I don't feel like I'm sacrificing any rpms or power for the quietness either. All in all it's a very nice machine. No vibration whatsoever.
