The XAG11 has been equipped with Makita’s brushless motor for increased power, speed, and longer tool life. For maximum productivity the added paddle switch and electric break stops the grinding or cut-off wheel in 2 seconds or less. Matched with Makita’s Automatic Speed Change Technology which adjusts speed and torque for optimal performance, this grinder is made for a wide range of applications.
 
Electric brake stops the grinding or cut-off wheel in 2 seconds or less for maximum productivity
Active Feedback-sensing Technology (AFT®) 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
The BL™ Brushless Motor eliminates carbon brushes, enabling the BL™ Motor to run cooler and more efficiently for longer life; delivers 8,500 RPM
Efficient BL™ Brushless motor is electronically controlled to optimize battery energy use for up to 50% longer run time per charge
The electronically-controlled BL™ Brushless Motor efficiently uses energy to match torque and RPM to the changing demands of the application
Compact and ergonomic design at only 14-1/4" long
Weighs only 5.8 lbs. with battery for reduced operator fatigue
