Makita Cordless LXT® Die Grinders and Straight Grinders bring portability and efficiency to professional grinding tasks. As part of the 18V LXT® series – the world’s largest cordless tool lineup powered by 18V Lithium-Ion slide-style batteries – these grinders combine power and precision with the convenience of cordless operation.

Die grinders are versatile tools designed for grinding, sanding, and cutting on a variety of materials. Makita’s LXT® Die Grinders are compact and lightweight, perfect for reaching tight areas or complex tasks. They often feature variable speed control for matching speed to the application, and an anti-restart function for safety.

Straight grinders, on the other hand, are designed for more heavy-duty tasks. They are typically larger and more powerful than die grinders and are often used for grinding, cutting, and polishing on materials like metal or concrete. Makita’s LXT® Straight Grinders typically include features like soft-start for smoother startups, and “constant speed control” to maintain speed under load for consistent performance.
