The Makita 18V LXT cordless angle grinder 125 mm is a professional battery-powered tool designed for cutting, grinding and surface preparation in construction, metalworking, installation and renovation. Equipped with a brushless motor, variable speed control and Automatic Torque Drive Technology (ADT), it adapts its performance to different working conditions.

The grinder operates with a 125 mm disc and offers an adjustable no-load speed of 3,000–8,500 rpm. Its cordless design provides mobility when working on construction sites, in workshops and in locations where a mains power connection is inconvenient.

Automatic Torque Drive Technology (ADT)

Makita's Automatic Torque Drive Technology (ADT) automatically adjusts rotational speed and torque during operation according to the working load.

This technology helps maintain efficient cutting and grinding performance when the resistance of the material changes.

The adjustable speed range allows users to select suitable operating parameters for different applications and compatible accessories.

Brushless Motor and Electronic Protection

The brushless motor provides efficient power delivery without requiring carbon brush replacement.

An electronic current limiter with an indicator light helps protect the motor when excessive load is applied.

The integrated battery protection system provides protection against overload, excessive discharge and overheating.

125 mm Disc and Adjustable Speed

The angle grinder is designed for 125 mm cutting and grinding discs with a 22.23 mm bore and an M14 spindle thread.

The maximum specified cutting depth is 29 mm. Actual cutting capability depends on the accessory and working conditions.

The adjustable speed range of 3,000–8,500 rpm supports applications requiring different operating speeds. Always use accessories suitable for the selected speed and intended material.

Restart Protection and Comfortable Handling

The No-Voltage Release (NVR) restart protection helps prevent unexpected restarting after an interruption in power supply.

The grinder features an easy-grip housing for improved handling and control during cutting and grinding operations.

With dimensions of 382 × 140 × 145 mm, the tool is suitable for professional handheld applications.

18V LXT Battery Operation
