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
- 195386-6 – soft brushes prevent dust from escaping and help move the tool over the surface
- 195386-6 – 4-spring suspension system keeps shroud flush with surface during movement
- A-96425 – low-vibration design engineered to keep the wheel planted firmly on the surface for more efficient material removal
- A-96425 – turbo rim design for faster material removal and a smooth finish

Used it on a area of 100sq ft and it’s still looks new.

It worked great for removing old thinset from concrete in preparation for installing new tile.

This is one of the best dust shroud I’ve seen. Unfortunately I can’t really rate how good it works because it doesn’t fit my Dewalt or 3M grinders. I read in the product description that it fits Makita 7 inch grinders but my thinking was the 7 inch would be the maximum grinder cup to use the dust shroud with. Apparently Makita’s 7 inch grinder has a larger wheel guard hub (2 -1/2 inches). I will have to fabricate a bushing to step-up the wheel guard hub of my two grinders. This is not the fault of Makita or the dust shroud, but rather my fault for not clearly reading the tool application specs.Other than that, this shroud is well designed. A good sturdy plastic with metal base for keeping the shroud secured. I like the benefit of being able to remove a section of the shroud to grind along edges.

Works good!

this thing is no joke, it isnt small or lightweight so it doesn’t take the place of a 4 1/2 to 5″ grinder but when the extra power and larger blade are needed this one is beyond what i expected from a cordless. the brake is awesome, usually takes less than 2 seconds to stop. i put a lenox metal max on it and nothing stands in my way. if you wNt a large grinder and dont want a cord you have found the right one. cant beat yhe deal going on right now, 4- 5.0 ah batteries dual charger grinder and bag for 399.00, best deal ive got in a long time. great job home depot

It served the purpose, once I realized I needed a different kind of disc.
