Makita XAG20Z 18V Lxt Lithiumion Brushless Cordless 41/2 / 5″ Paddle Switch Cutoff/Angle Grinder, With Electric Brake, Tool Only

Makita delivers corded grinding performance without the cord with the 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Brushless 4-1/2″ / 5 Paddle Switch 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 exclusive Automatic Speed Change technology automatically adjusts speed and torque during operation for optimal performance. The XAG20Z 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.

Key Features:

• PRODUCTIVITY : Electric Brake stops the grinding or cut-off wheel in 2 seconds or less for maximum productivity
• CONTROL : AFT turns the motor off if rotation of the wheel is suddenly forced to stop
• TECHNOLOGY : The Brushless Motor eliminates carbon brushes, enabling the Motor to run cooler and more efficiently
• VERSATILITY : Variable speed control dial allows manual RPM adjustment (3,000-8,500)
• INCLUDES : Grinding wheel, wheel guard and cut-off wheel guard (battery and charger not included)
