Makita XAG16Z 18V LXT® Lithium-Ion Brushless Cordless 4-1/2” / 5" Cut-Off/Angle Grinder, with Electric Brake, Tool Only with E-23260 4-1/2" Thin Kerf Diamond Blade, Segmented, General Purpose

Makita delivers corded grinding performance without the cord with the 18V LXT® Lithium-Ion Brushless 4-1/2" / 5” Cut-Off/Angle Grinder with Electric Brake (tool only, battery and charger sold separately). It's powered by a Makita brushless motor for longer run time, increased power and speed, and longer tool life. For the most demanding applications, Makita’s exclusive Automatic Speed Change™ technology automatically adjusts speed and torque during operation for optimal performance. The XAG16Z is ideal for grinding and cutting a wide range of materials including tile, concrete, pipe, conduit, and more. Additional features include an electric brake that stops the grinding or cut-off wheel in 2 seconds or less, and Electronic Torque Control that turns the motor off if rotation speed suddenly slows or the wheel is forced to a stop. The variable speed control dial allows manual RPM adjustment (3,000 – 8,500), allowing the user to match the speed to the application. The Makita 4-1/2" Thin Kerf Diamond Blade, Segmented, General Purpose (E-23260) is for use with Makita 4-1/2" battery angle grinders and saws as well as competitor 4-1/2" models (sold separately). The thin kerf blade reduces drag on the tool motor to optimize battery run time. The Thin Kerf Diamond Blade delivers up to 80% more cuts per charge than competitive blades, and up to two times faster cutting when compared to standard blades. The E-23260 features a u-shaped notch in each segment that efficiently ejects dust from the work area for a smoother and faster cutting experience. It features an optimum bond matrix that provides a faster, longer-lasting, and smoother cutting diamond blade with a max RPM of 12,200. It is engineered with high-quality diamonds and is ideal for dry or wet cutting for added versatility. The Thin Kerf Diamond Blade is engineered for a smoother and faster cutting experience while cutting masonry materials including concrete, reinforced concrete, block, pavers, and brick.
