Angle Grinder Makita BL 18V LXT 11 cm 2200 RPM 4 kg

The Makita BL 18V LXT angle grinder is a high-performance power tool engineered for precision and reliability in professional and DIY grinding tasks. Equipped with an advanced brushless motor, this tool provides superior efficiency and an extended service life compared to traditional brushed models. Its compact design and 11 cm grinding disc make it an ideal choice for maneuvering in tight spaces while maintaining consistent power output.

Advantages

This angle grinder stands out due to its cordless 18V LXT battery system, which eliminates the need for power cords and allows for complete freedom of movement on any job site. The brushless motor technology ensures that the tool runs cooler and lasts longer under heavy workloads. With a weight of only 4 kg, the device is ergonomically balanced to reduce operator fatigue during prolonged use, while the 78 dB sound pressure level ensures a more comfortable working environment.

Suitable for

• Metal grinding and surface preparation
• Cutting small metal components
• Deburring edges in tight workspaces
• General maintenance and repair tasks

When it may not be suitable

This tool is not intended for heavy-duty industrial grinding of large-scale steel structures or deep concrete cutting, as its 11 cm disc size and speed are optimized for precision rather than high-volume material removal. It may also be less effective for tasks requiring continuous operation over many hours without access to spare batteries.

Key specifications

• Battery voltage: 18V
• Disc diameter: 11 cm
• Maximum idle speed: 2200 RPM
• Weight: 4 kg
• Sound pressure level: 78 dB

How to use

To operate the grinder, ensure a fully charged 18V LXT battery is securely clicked into the base of the tool. Select the appropriate grinding disc for your material and ensure it is tightened correctly using the provided flange nut. Hold the tool firmly with both hands using the integrated grips, position the disc against the workpiece at the correct angle, and activate the trigger switch. Maintain steady pressure and allow the tool to reach its operating speed before making contact with the surface.

What to consider before purchase

• Compatibility with existing 18V LXT battery packs
• The specific disc size requirements for your intended tasks
• The need for additional batteries for extended work sessions

Usage recommendations

Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including safety glasses and gloves, when operating the grinder. Regularly inspect the grinding disc for cracks or wear before each use to ensure safe operation.
