Makita 18V Cordless Angle Grinder

Experience corded grinding performance without the constraints of a cord with Makita's 18V LXT® Lithium-Ion Brushless 4-1/2"/ 5” Cut-Off/Angle Grinder with Electric Brake (tool only, battery and charger sold separately). Powered by a Makita Brushless motor, this grinder offers longer run time, increased power, speed, and tool life. Makita's exclusive Automatic Speed Change™ technology adjusts speed and torque during operation for optimal performance, making it ideal for even the most demanding applications such as grinding and cutting materials like tile, concrete, pipe, and conduit.

In addition to its Electric Brake feature, which stops the grinding or cut-off wheel in 2 seconds or less, the grinder also has Electronic Torque Control that shuts down the motor if rotation speed suddenly slows or the wheel is forced to a stop. The Variable Speed Control Dial allows for manual RPM adjustment ranging from 3,000 to 8,500, giving users the flexibility to match the speed to the specific application at hand.

Part of Makita's ever-expanding 18V Lithium-Ion system, this tool is compatible with 18V Lithium-Ion slide-style batteries, which are known for their fast charge times, ensuring minimal downtime and maximum productivity. To enhance tool performance and prolong battery life, Makita has integrated Star Protection Computer Controls™, a communication technology that enables real-time data exchange between the tool and battery to prevent overloading, over-discharging, and overheating.

For added versatility, the grinder can also be powered by Makita 18V LXT® and compact Lithium-Ion batteries with the Star symbol indicating the presence of Star protection. The BL Brushless motor, which eliminates carbon brushes, allows the motor to run cooler and more efficiently, ensuring longer life. Additionally, the grinder features Active Feedback-Sensing Technology (AFT) for enhanced safety, automatically turning off the motor if wheel rotation is suddenly obstructed.

With Makita's Electric Brake Technology, users can expect maximum productivity, efficient performance, and extended tool life.
