Makita 40V Max XGT Brushless Cordless 4‑1/2” / 5" Angle Grinder Kit, with Electric Brake
The Makita 40V Max XGT Brushless Cordless 4-1/2" / 5" Angle Grinder Kit delivers the power of a corded tool with the convenience and mobility of a cordless system. Designed for the most demanding applications, this grinder is equipped with a Makita-built brushless motor that provides 8,500 RPM, ensuring fast and efficient cutting and grinding. The 40V Max XGT® battery delivers up to 60% faster cutting speeds when compared to previous models, making it ideal for heavy-duty tasks such as cutting rebar, tile, concrete, and other materials.
For enhanced safety, the Makita grinder features an electric brake that stops the grinding or cut-off wheel in two seconds or less, maximizing productivity and reducing downtime. Additionally, the grinder is equipped with Makita's Active Feedback-sensing Technology (AFT®), which automatically turns off the motor if the wheel's rotation is forced to a stop, protecting the user from potential kickback. The grinder also includes an electric current limiter, which helps to protect the motor from overload during high-torque applications.
The 40V XGT system not only delivers power but also incorporates intelligent features such as anti-restart protection, which prevents the tool from starting if the battery is inserted while the switch is locked on. The soft start feature provides smoother start-ups and extends the tool's gear life. For added durability, the grinder is built with Makita’s Extreme Protection Technology (XPT™), which safeguards the internal components from dust and water, making it perfect for use in harsh job site conditions.
This kit comes complete with a 40V Max XGT® Lithium-Ion 4.0Ah battery, charger, grinding wheel, wheel guard, side handle, and bag, ensuring you have everything you need for your grinding and cutting tasks. Whether you’re a contractor working in construction or a professional tradesperson, this powerful and reliable cordless angle grinder will help you tackle any job with ease.
