Makita, a pioneer in brushless motor technology and battery innovation, combines both in the 18-Volt X2 LXT (36-Volt) Lithium-Ion Brushless 7 Paddle Switch/Angle Grinder with Electric Brake. It’s powered by two 18V Lithium-Ion batteries for 36-Volt power and performance and has an electronically-controlled BL Brushless motor that matches torque and RPM to the application. Makita 18-Volt X2 means freedom from the cord, even for demanding applications like grinding and cut-off applications that often call for a corded grinder. Best of all, users can remain in one battery platform, using the same fast-charging 18-Volt batteries on the XAG12PT as they use across the Makita 18-Volt LXT cordless tool system. The XAG12PT is equipped with efficiency features for maximum performance. The electric brake stops the grinding or cut-off wheel in 4.5 second or less for maximum productivity and the Electronic Torque Control turns the motor off if rotation speed suddenly slows or the wheel is forced to a stop. For consistent performance, Automatic Speed Change technology adjust speed and torque during operation. For added comfort the vibration absorbing back handle is isolated from the motor housing for reduced vibration and the soft start feature suppresses start-up reaction for smoother start-ups and longer gear life. It has a no lock-on rear paddle trigger switch and the anti-restart protection is engineered to prevent motor start-up when the battery is inserted with the switch locked on.
- BL brushless motor eliminates carbon brushes, enabling the BL motor to run cooler and more efficiently for longer life; delivers 7,800 RPM
- 18-Volt LXT Lithium-Ion batteries deliver corded power without leaving the 18-Volt LXT battery platform
- Electric brake stops the grinding or cut-off wheel in 4.5 seconds or less for maximum productivity
- Electronic torque control turns the motor off if rotation of the wheel is suddenly forced to stop
- Automatic Speed Change technology adjusts speed and torque during operation for optimum performance
- Vibration absorbing back handle is isolated from the motor housing effectively reducing vibration to the operator’s hands
- Rear handle paddle switch with no lock-on feature
- Efficient BL brushless motor is electronically controlled to optimize battery energy use for up to 50% longer run time per charge
- Electronically-controlled BL brushless motor efficiently uses energy to match torque and RPM to the changing demands of the application
- Soft start suppresses start-up reaction for smooth start-ups and longer gear life
- Anti-restart protection engineered to prevent motor start up when battery is inserted with switch locked on
- Weighs only 11.4 lbs. with battery for reduced operator fatigue
- Rubberized soft grip handle provides increased comfort on the job
- L.E.D. battery charge indicator alerts user of drained power for each of the 2 batteries

This tool last 3 times more than other ones in the market and doesn’t over heat the grinder motor.

This is quite a grinder and cut off saw. weighing about 12 pounds it does the job quick. I so appreciate not having to haul out the portable generator to do some small jobs around the farm. Cut off an old pipe that was in the driveway after we had graded it then switched to the grinder wheel and polished it off. Got a Makita general purpose diamond blade (Store SKU #154599) to cut some bricks to fix my mail box that was hit. This come with a bag that fits everything toss it in the atv and I am ready for anything. Another thing that surprised me was on the charging base was a usb port with a nice cover to keep the dust out so you can charge your phone or in my case play some music on mp3 player while in the garage getting ready

As mentioned by others it is not deep enough when using the diamond grinding wheel for grout. Duct tape and cardboard addressed this issue and it worked great. I did not have dust until I had to remove the edging piece.

I grind down a lot of curb trip hazards. I first bought the Ridgid cupped blade, and it is total garbage. It only bounces and destroys your body with all the energy it takes to hold it down. Hours of this. Total body soreness, and I do this kind of work all the time. This Makita blade practically hugs the surface, and takes no effort to grind down the concrete. It is $14 dollars more than the Ridgid, and I will pay it all day long. You are crazy if you don’t. It is so superior to the other blades.
