5.0 out of 5 stars Très ergonomique, bonne puissance d'aspiration, niveau de bruit acceptable
Reviewed in France on July 28, 2021
J'ai utilisé cette ponceuse pour rénover l'intégralité du bassin de ma piscine mesurant 17×7 mètres.
J'avais besoin pour cela d'un équipement robuste.
Le ponçage a représenté plusieurs jours de travail afin de faire sauter plusieurs couches d'anciennes peintures et arriver quasiment au béton pour avoir le support le plus sain possible avant d'appliquer un enduit époxy puis une peinture époxy.
Cette ponceuse Makita est allée au bout du chantier sans faillir après plusieurs jours de ponçage.
Son ergonomie est très bonne, on l'a bien en main et on contrôle ainsi bien tous ses mouvements, ce qui permet de ne pas abimer le support.
Sa puissance est toute aussi bonne ce qui m'a grandement facilité la tache.
Attention, il n'y a pas de magie, le travail restera toujours pénible mais il sera plus rapidement exécuté.
Comme vous pouvez le voir sur une des photos ou je suis recouvert de poussière, je n'ai pas utilisé le sac, travaillant en extérieur.
Je ne sais donc pas si le sac est efficace mais je peux vous assurer que l'aspiration est bonne au vu du débit de poussière à l'arrière de la machine.
J'ai posté plusieur photos des différentes étapes du chantier afin que vous puissiez vous rendre compte de son étendue et pouvoir vous montrer ainsi que cette machine est capable de réaliser des travaux de grande ampleur sans faillir.
Attention, cette ponceuse n'est pas vendue avec un filtre en tissus comme sur la photo mais avec un porte filtres papier.
Les plus:
✅ très ergonomique, très bonne prise en main
✅ bonne puissance d'aspiration
✅ niveau de bruit correct
✅ peut réaliser de gros travaux
✅ peut travailler de longues heure d'affilé sans faillir ni faiblir
✅ ultra solide et infatigable
Les moins:
❌ le prix élevé des plateaux en caoutchouc supportant les disques abrasifs qui s'usent inévitablement
❌ photo mensongère, n'est pas vendu avec un filtre en tissus comme sur la photo mais avec un porte filtres papier
