The Makita 40V max XGT Brushless Cut-Off/Angle Grinder (GAG01M1) delivers exceptional cordless performance for the most demanding grinding and cutting applications. Powered by a high-performance Makita-built brushless motor and advanced 40V max XGT battery technology, this grinder delivers up to 8,500 RPM and cuts up to 60% faster than its predecessor when slicing through #5 (5/8in) rebar.

Engineered for durability and precision, the GAG01M1 is built to tackle a wide range of materials—from concrete and tile to pipe and conduit—without sacrificing power or control. The electric brake stops the wheel in under 2 seconds for added safety and productivity, while Active Feedback-sensing Technology (AFT) shuts down the motor if wheel rotation is abruptly interrupted.

Designed for real job site conditions, this grinder features a reinforced metal gear housing, Extreme Protection Technology (XPT) for dust and water resistance, and wire mesh intake covers to keep debris out of the motor. Additional features like soft start, quick guard rotation, and anti-restart protection make operation smoother and safer.

Key Features:

  • Outpower: Makita-built brushless motor delivers up to 8,500 RPM for heavy-duty cutting and grinding
  • Outsmart: Electric brake stops the wheel in 2 seconds or less
  • Outlast: Electronic current limiter protects against overload in high-torque situations
  • AFT Technology: Automatically turns off the motor if the wheel is forced to stop
  • Quick Guard Rotation: Tool-less guard adjustment boosts on-site efficiency
  • Anti-Restart Protection: Prevents accidental start-up when inserting the battery
  • Soft Start: Reduces start-up reaction for longer gear life and user control
  • Wire Mesh Intake Covers: Helps prevent debris from entering the motor
  • Reinforced Metal Gear Housing: Enhanced durability for jobsite use
  • Rubberized Soft Grip: Provides increased comfort and control
  • Compact Design: At just 16-1/8in long, ideal for tight spaces

XGT System Advantages:

  • Digital Communication: Optimizes performance under heavy loads and protects against overload, over-discharge, and overheating
  • Robust Battery Interface: Multi-layer contact design delivers consistent, high current power
  • Rapid Charging: Dual-fan XGT charger cools and charges the included 4.0Ah battery in 45 minutes or less
  • Impact-Resistant Construction: Rigid battery rails keep power locked in during demanding tasks

Compatible only with Makita 40V max XGT Batteries and Chargers

3-Year Limited Warranty on tool, battery, and charger
