Makita 18V LXT Brushless Cordless Angle Grinder, Tool Only

The 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Brushless 4-1/2"/ 5” Cut-Off/angle Grinder from Makita delivers corded grinding performance without the need for a cord. The tool is powered by a Makita Brushless motor, providing 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 grinding, cutting, and sanding a variety of materials such as tile, concrete, pipe, and conduit.

This grinder is part of Makita's expanding 18V Lithium-Ion system, which is the world's largest cordless tool system powered by 18V Lithium-Ion slide-style batteries. The 18V Lithium-Ion batteries have the fastest charge times in their categories, ensuring that users spend more time working and less time waiting for the battery to charge. To improve tool performance and extend battery life, Makita developed Star protection Computer controls, which allow the tool and battery to exchange real-time data and monitor conditions during use to prevent overloading, over-discharging, and overheating.

For enhanced versatility, the tool can also be powered by Makita 18V LXT and compact Lithium-Ion batteries with the Star symbol, indicating Star protection inside. Additionally, the grinder features Automatic Speed Change technology that automatically adjusts speed and torque for optimum performance, as well as Active Feedback-sensing Technology (AFT) that turns the motor off if the wheel rotation is suddenly forced to stop.

The BL Brushless Motor eliminates carbon brushes, allowing it to run cooler and more efficiently for longer life. The efficient BL Brushless motor is electronically controlled to optimize battery energy use, providing up to 50% longer run time per charge. Furthermore, the BL Brushless Motor adjusts torque and RPM to match the changing demands of the application, ensuring efficient energy use at all times.
