Makita’s 5 in. SJSII Compact Concrete Planer with Dust Extraction Shroud (PC5010CX1) is a kit that comes complete with one 4-1/2 in. Diamond Cup Wheel, which is engineered for low vibration and fast material removal. The PC5010CX1 combines power and ease-of-use with superior handling in a compact size. It is engineered for concrete finishing, concrete material removal and surface coating removal. The PC5010C is powered by a 12 Amp motor with soft start for smooth start-ups and longer gear life. The constant speed control automatically applies additional power to the motor to maintain speed under load to complete the most challenging jobs and the electronic current limiter helps protect the motor from overloading. The PC5010C is equipped with SJSII, which is a leaf spring and cam gear mechanism that’s engineered for reduced vibration. The integrated dust extraction shroud is designed to capture dust during operation and includes a removable dust shroud cap that allows the tool to plane in corners and against walls. The shroud has soft brushes to help prevent dust from escaping and the 4-spring suspension system keeps the shroud flush with the surface during movement. The PC5010C weighs only 5.5 lbs. and has an ergonomic soft grip and slide switch with lock-on function for continuous operation, as well as an ergonomic loop handle for improved comfort.

It worked well. Good tool to have for concrete repairs.

The dust shroud is very poor. It is also very shallow. For the cost of the grinder I expected a higher quality shroud.

Worked well to take paint off concrete block walls in our basement; however its dust shroud failed miserably, falling nearly 1/2″ short of surface of diamond cup/wall, so dust flies everywhere. Had to affix foam door insulation to its outer rim – repeatedly – to meet wall & contain dust.
