Product Details

Makita delivers corded grinding performance without the cord with the 18-Volt LXT Lithium-Ion Brushless 4-1/2 in. / 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.

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. Its part of Makita expanding 18-Volt Lithium-Ion system, the worlds largest cordless tool system powered by 18-Volt Lithium-Ion slide-style batteries. Makita 18-Volt Lithium-Ion batteries have the fastest charge times in their categories, so they spend more time working and less time sitting on the charger.

        Q:can I use spin on 36 grit grinding wheels on this unit XAG20Z
        by|Dec 26, 2022
        1 Answer
        Answer This Question

        A:  When using depressed center grinding wheels, be sure to use only fiberglass-reinforced wheels. NEVER USE Stone Cup type wheels with this grinder. This grinder is not designed for these types of wheels and the use of such a product may result in serious personal injury.

            Works great. the slower speed actually helps cutting tile without breaking it. Less heat, less vibration. Very impressive.

            My favorite of the battery powered grinders
            Outstanding in the family of grinders. It will do what the manufacture claims. I like the balance, the power and ease of battery drain. And they will look pretty in action and on your grinder shelf.
