The GA5040X1 is equipped with SJS II, a mechanical gear drive system to help prevent motor and gear damage by dampening the force on the gear when the wheel is forced to stop. SJS II is also features a leaf spring and cam gear drive mechanism that is engineered to reduce vibration for increased operator comfort during extended use. The 10.5 Amp motor delivers 11,000 RPM for maximum productivity. Labyrinth construction protects the motor with a complex set of channels, prohibiting dust and contamination from entering the motor. Additional protection features include a Zig-Zag epoxy applied to both sides of the armature coil and a powder-coating to the field. This forms a barrier under rotation and is engineered to protect from dust and debris penetration for longer tool life.

When mounted to the dust shroud the grinder switch is awkwardly placed. The ability to quickly shut it off and on is compromised; I believe this is a problem with the Bosch tuck pointer as well. The dust shroud window could be larger and line guides better engineered for ease of alignment and accuracy. Otherwise, smooth operation and powerful with the plunge feature and dust ejector a welcome aid in tuck pointing. Whatever happened to the clear, well written, and adequately imaged instructions that used to come with all machinery and tools??

The idea of cutting/grinding concrete indoors gives me nightmares just from the amount of dust that is produced…however this little gem turns those nightmares into rainbows! I have just a basic shop vac, and was amazed how well this works. Zero dust. Zero. Life Changer.
