Review: A professionals favorite. - I purchased this for a friend who is a professional tile setter/anything tile or stone installer. He was doing countertops for a luxury home. It was a huge 200 linear feet of counter tops in a massive kitchen with back splashes and window sills. His faithful Makita stone polisher needed a new cord and he had an improvised hook up for the water feed. I wanted to surprise him before the job was done, he was cutting everything and hadn't started polishing all the granite parts yet. The tool arrived a day after he started the polishing and he was almost in tears he was so happy to get it. He went on an on about the quality and durability of the tool. His was the third he had purchased and this was the fourth. He always has two on his job sites for two people to use to polish the raw granite. I have helped him polish before and I can tell you, this single tool gets a lot of use on just one job. It is so powerful, my learning curve was to keep it steady and not make a gauge in the surface I was polishing. He just had to know what it cost and when I told him, he said it was a bargain compared to the big box stores. We searched the Makita web page to see if they made a cordless model, but did not see one. None on desertcart either. Review: Makita PW5001C Wet Stone Polisher - I had the polisher for a while now. I use it for all sorts of work from taking scratches out of stone to finishing up stone edges/bullnose. Let's be realistic the tool might not come with the little coupling but here's what you do: Get a hose ... it could be a garden hose ... cut 3 to five feet of garden hose with the female end attached, use two clamps to attach the hose to the machine and connect the female end to a standard garden hose which hopefully is attached to a water bibb. Turn on water. Control flow at the valve on the machine. Get working. I say cut a garden hose because you probably have a beat up one laying around. If not, make your own, nice metal fittings are sold at home depot. Don't buy plastic... crappy. In all this time I haven't had much issue with wear on the unit. It will last because most of the work doesn't require a huge amount of pressure ... maybe one or two case... at least from my perspective. Additionally, get some safety gear, apron and good pads ... Lastly, if you are going to spend this much cash on this machine, make sure you will take care of it. Otherwise, start with a cheapy one and see if that will be enough to get you by. Update 111014: Just finished working on a quartz countertop for a bathroom. As usual, excellent work from PW5001C unit, it is worth every penny and more for the results it delivers. I had a bit of time to play around so I upgraded the water line on the polisher. First I removed the hose attachment I had on it then, removed the male quick connect replacing it with a 1/4 in OD x 1/8 in FIP which was then connected to a 20 ft stainless steel braided icemaker line. The icemaker line was then connected to a 1/4 in OD x 3/4 in HC (hose connector). I would advice to disassemble the shut off valve and take it to the store with you, that way you can ascertain the right fitting will be purchased. Update 070715: I added another water line (look at added pic) to the polisher ... I was using drums which are better served with the additional water line. As usual the results are excellent as I just finished another kitchen sink opening. Also, as you will notice I removed the quick connector fitting that came with the original valve/water line as it was bulky and didn't work for me. Folks, lastly I'd like to remind you to keep on improving and tinkering ... the tool is great, no need to get upset about what is not or it doesn't have, we can always improve, I'd say. Keep moving forward. ## Features - Variable speed control dial enables user to match the speed to the application - Soft start feature for smooth start-ups - Electronic speed control maintains constant speed under load - Common fitting accepts the most popular water hose connections - Powerful 7.9 AMP motor with less weight (5.1 lbs.) ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0002HC2HU | | Amperage | 7.9 Amps | | Best Sellers Rank | #91,276 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #41 in Power Polishers & Buffers | | Brand | Makita | | Brand Name | Makita | | Color | Teal | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 357 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00088381054454 | | Included Components | 4" Rubber Pad (743079-5), Dust Cover (194233-8), Front Grip (418507-6), Head Cover (417322-5), Hex Wrench (783204-6), Side Handle (153489-2), Spanner Wrench (781008-0) Included Components 4" Rubber Pad (743079-5), Dust Cover (194233-8), Front Grip (418507-6), Head Cover (417322-5), Hex Wrench (783204-6), Side Handle (153489-2), Spanner Wrench (781008-0) See more | | Item Type Name | Makita PW5001C 4" Electronic Stone Polisher | | Item Weight | 3.8 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | Makita | | Manufacturer Part Number | PW5001C | | Manufacturer Warranty Description | 1 year | | Material | Alloy Steel | | Material Type | Alloy Steel | | Model Number | PW5001C | | Power Source | ac | | Specific Uses For Product | Polisher | | Speed | 4000 RPM | | UPC | 088381054454 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Voltage | 127 Volts | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Makita - **Color:** Teal - **Material:** Alloy Steel - **Power Source:** ac ## Images ![Makita PW5001C 4" Electronic Stone Polisher - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61ypve8QV4L.jpg) ![Makita PW5001C 4" Electronic Stone Polisher - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61catgHcnCL.jpg) ![Makita PW5001C 4" Electronic Stone Polisher - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61oFBXK81kL.jpg) ![Makita PW5001C 4" Electronic Stone Polisher - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71qjVRyYikL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: I couldnt find the hose connector for this tool, can you search and give me alink? its kind of inconvinient that Makita doesnt include the connector,** A: Not happy with the water design, as others stated. the quick connect fitting is not something you can find at local stores (Home depot, Lowes, Ferguson & Others) I spent a few days trying to find the correct fitting, no luck... What i did find is that it is a British 1/8th Thread "BSP 1/8th" Found an Adapter on amazon that will adapt to a 1/4" NSP... Not happy with the time i have spent searching for the right piece.... Good Luck! **Q: Can you put a 5" backer pad and discs on this wet polisher? Are the threads 5/8"?** A: yes you can and yes it is 5/8 **Q: How much does the tool vibrate as you are using it? Some of the smaller, basic grinders I have tried vibrate so much don't get an even grind.** A: It is very smooth and well balanced. I didn't use actual grinding wheels. I only used the hook and loop granite polishing pads. It is quieter than my other grinder. **Q: Can this be used for grinding on concrete?** A: I grinded about 600 square feet of edge areas in my basement back in 2010 when I bought it. Ok had to be careful or it would eat the concrete really fast. Still using it today, for grinding and for polishing. No signs of wear or issues after hundreds of hours of use. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A professionals favorite. *by J***I on July 5, 2025* I purchased this for a friend who is a professional tile setter/anything tile or stone installer.

You can see from the images what the polish looks like. I left two of the sides "Natural", so you can se in the images what it started off looking like. (I also had to use a wet saw to cut it before polishing). The images do not do it justice. It really is as smooth as glass and shines really nicely. I bought a set of polishing pads (With center hole for water) that went from 50 grit, down to 6000 grit. It really wasn't until I got to the 3000 - 6000 grit range that it started to shine. If you go to the PRINTABLES site, I created a 3D printable desk clamp for it that you can print on a 3D printer (See images). It it is an adaptor that allows you to mount the unit to a table so you can polish rocks easier. Search PW5001C on there and you should find it. ## Frequently Bought Together - Makita PW5001C 4" Electronic Stone Polisher - Diamond Polishing Pads 4 inch Wet/Dry Set of 11+1 Backer Pad for Granite Concrete Marble Polishing Plus eBook - Polishing Process Best Practices by POLISHSURF - 4 Inch Diamond Polishing Pads with 5/8’’-11 Backer Pad, 12PCS Wet/Dry Granite Stone Polish Pad Kit for Drill, Grinder, Polisher, 50-6000 Grit Polishing Pad for Concrete Marble Rock Countertop Quartz --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/2998072-makita-pw5001c-4-electronic-stone-polisher](https://www.desertcart.us/products/2998072-makita-pw5001c-4-electronic-stone-polisher) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-05-16*
