Makita 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Brushless Cordless Angle Grinder 7 Cutter - Tool Only

Makita is a leader in brushless motor technology and battery innovation, and they have combined both in their 18V X2 LXT (36V) Lithium-Ion Brushless 7” Paddle Switch/Angle Grinder with Electric Brake. This powerful tool is driven by two 18V Lithium-Ion batteries (sold separately) to provide 36V power and performance. The electronically-controlled BL Brushless motor adjusts torque and RPM to suit the specific application, ensuring efficient operation.

With the Makita 18V X2 system, users can enjoy cordless freedom even for tough tasks like grinding and cut-off applications that typically require a corded grinder. What's even better is that the same fast-charging 18V batteries used with the XAG12PT can also be used across the entire Makita 18V LXT cordless tool system.

The XAG12PT is packed with efficiency features for optimal performance. The electric brake can stop the grinding or cut-off wheel in 4.5 seconds or less, maximizing productivity. The Electronic Torque Control automatically shuts off the motor if the wheel rotation speed slows abruptly or if the wheel is forcibly halted. To ensure consistent performance, the Automatic Speed Change technology adjusts speed and torque during operation.

For user comfort, the tool is equipped with a vibration-absorbing back handle that is isolated from the motor housing to reduce vibration. The soft start feature suppresses start-up reactions for smoother operation and longer gear life. The tool also features a no lock-on rear handle paddle switch, and anti-restart protection to prevent accidental motor start-up when the battery is inserted with the switch locked on.

As part of Makita’s expanding 18V Lithium-Ion system, this tool is compatible with the world's largest cordless tool system powered by 18V Lithium-Ion slide-style batteries. The Makita 18V batteries have the fastest charge times in their categories, allowing users to spend more time working and less time waiting for the batteries to recharge.

To enhance tool performance and extend battery life, Makita has developed Star Protection Computer Controls, a communication technology that enables real-time data exchange between the tool and battery. This monitoring system protects against overloading, over-discharging, and overheating. The BL Brushless motor in the XAG12PT runs cooler and more efficiently without carbon brushes, offering longer life and delivering an impressive 7,800 RPM.

Overall, the Makita 18V X2 LXT Lithium-Ion Brushless Angle Grinder with Electric Brake is a versatile and powerful tool that provides corded power without compromising on the convenience of a cordless system.
