Why This Makita Angle Grinder Stands Out
This model focuses on real-world jobsite efficiency. The X-LOCK system minimizes downtime, the brushless motor maintains steady power under load, and the tool-only format offers better value for professionals already invested in the Makita 18V LXT ecosystem.
Quick accessory changes reduce interruptions during cutting and grinding tasks.
Brushless technology provides steady performance without cords.
Integrates seamlessly with Makita 18V LXT batteries already on hand.
Designed to withstand demanding professional environments.
This angle grinder is a strong fit if you:
- ✔ Already use Makita 18V LXT batteries
- ✔ Need a cordless grinder for professional work
- ✔ Want faster wheel changes on the jobsite
- ✔ Prefer tool-only value over bundled kits
- ✔ Work in construction, metal, or fabrication trades
Attach a compatible X-LOCK accessory, insert a fully charged Makita 18V LXT battery, and operate the grinder using steady, controlled pressure. Let the tool maintain speed rather than forcing it through material for cleaner results and longer tool life.
Safety & Usage Considerations
Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment, use accessories rated for the grinder’s speed, and follow Makita’s safety guidelines. Inspect wheels before use and avoid operating the tool in unsafe conditions.
