Makita Angle Grinder Range

A Makita Angle Grinder offers professional-level cutting, grinding, and surface preparation for metalworkers, builders, and contractors who require cordless power.

Makita Cordless Angle Grinder Information

The Makita Cordless Angle Grinder is an excellent choice for powerful, portable, dependable tools on the jobsite, and is designed to meet the needs of professional tradespeople in the UK. Makita's cordless angle grinders eliminate the inconvenience and risk associated with trailing cables while still providing the power and performance of a regular tool. Fortunately, Bell Tools provides a diverse range of 115 mm and 230 mm grinders to fit a variety of applications, including small-scale maintenance and significant steel and masonry cutting.

Choosing your Makita Brushless Angle Grinder

By choosing a Makita Brushless Angle Grinder, you can be sure it will keep delivering top performance, last longer, and maintain control over speed even when working hard. Thanks to the innovative BL™ motor that doesn't use carbon brushes, the motor stays cooler and is up to 50% more efficient with each charge. Makita's newest angle grinders, including the Makita 18V DGA463Z 115mm Brushless Grinder and the Makita 18V DGA504Z 125mm Brushless Grinder Body, come with Automatic Torque Drive Technology (ADT).This technology ensures maximum torque at lower speeds by adjusting the motor's output based on how dense the material being cut is. ActiveFeedback sensing technology detects any sudden stop in rotation and immediately stops the motor to prevent harmful kickback.

The Diverse Functionality of the Makita 18v Angle Grinder

For everyday adaptability on the job site, professionals in the UK tend to favor the Makita 18v Angle Grinder from the LXT® lithium-ion series. Whether opting for a classic slide switch version like the budget-friendly Makita 18V DGA452Z 115mm Angle Grinder Body or the variable speed option of the Makita 18V DGA513Z 125MM Variable Speed Grinder, the 18V model strikes a perfect balance between power and light weight for overhead tasks or one-handed use. In environments where health and safety are top priorities, a paddle switch version such as the Makita 18V DGA467Z 115mm Variable Paddle Switch Grinder Body guarantees that the motor ceases operation instantly if the tool is unintentionally dropped.

Heavy-duty XGT vs the 18v Makita Grinder

The Makita 18V grinder setup works well with standard 115mm (4 1/2") and 125mm (5") metal slitting discs. However, for more challenging tasks, Makita suggests using their 40V Max XGT® battery system. For tasks like heavy demolition or cutting through thick concrete slabs, you'll be happy to have tools like the Makita 40V GA012GZ 115mm, Makita 40V GA013GZ 125mm, and the large Makita 40V GA038GZ 230mm, which provides power equivalent to 2,000W from a mains supply. If you need to do detailed cutting on tile, conduit, and drywall sheet metal, along with using a main grinder like an angle grinder, then a smaller, specialised tool like the Makita DMC300Z Compact Multi Cutter Saw Body might be exactly what you need.

Frequently Asked Questions About the Makita Grinder Range

Which Makita angle grinder is the best?

For regular trade work, the Makita 18V DGA504Z 125mm Brushless Grinder Body is our top choice due to its long runtime, 125mm cutting depth, and Automatic Torque Drive. If you undertake a lot of heavy masonry or slab cutting, the 40V MAKITA GA038GZ 230mm is the best cordless device we've tried.

Which brand of angle grinder is best?

Makita, alongside DeWalt and Milwaukee, is one of the world's most popular professional power tool brands. The company is well-known for its high-quality motors, modern brushless batteries, and innovative security features such as an electrical mechanism that prevents kickback (AFT).

Are Makita angle grinders any good?

Yes, Makita angle grinders are tools that are specifically built for on-site use; the internal bearings and motor windings are protected by labyrinth-style dust seals, preventing harm from swarf or concrete dust entering them.

Which angle grinder is better, DeWalt or Makita?

Both firms produce high-end tools, but Makita typically outperforms DeWalt in terms of ergonomics, vibration control, and digital motor protection. Makita offers one of the world's largest battery systems, the 18V LXT battery.

I have an 18v Makita Grinder, should I go for 4.5" or 5"?

A 5" (125mm) grinder, such as the Makita 18V DGA513Z 125mm Variable Speed Grinder, is commonly recommended. The 125mm cutting discs have approximately 25% deeper penetration, last longer, and are nearly the same price as the 4.5" (115mm).

What is the plastic cover for on the Makita Angle Grinder?

The transparent or black clip-on plastic protective cover protects against cutting attachments. It attaches to the metal grinding guard to completely cover the back of the wheel, in accordance with UK HSE rules, preventing the projection of broken disc material and directing sparks downward when cutting metal.

I just ordered a Makita angle grinder. Can I make do with my 3Ah batteries or do I really need a 5Ah?

You can use a 3AH battery to operate your 18V Makita DGA452Z, but if you use an angle grinder that takes a lot of current, the battery will quickly drain. To avoid having to replace your batteries frequently when using a demanding instrument, we recommend using a 5AH or 6AH LXT battery.

I need help choosing a 9-inch grinder, what do you recommend?

Consider the Makita 40V GA038GZ 230MM Angle Grinder Body if you need a cordless grinder that measures 9 inches (230mm). This tool, powered by the XGT 40V brushless motor, has a lightweight, compact design and delivers the power of a 2,000W mains unit with less vibration, an automatic brake, and increased portability without a wire.
