Makita XGT 40V 7-1/4″ Metal Cutting Saw

Additional information

The Makita 40V max XGT® Brushless 7-1/4" Metal Cutting Saw with Electric Brake and Chip Collector is a cordless solution for cutting common metal materials. The Makita-built brushless motor delivers up to two times faster cutting performance and up to 160 cuts per charge in 2-1/2" x 2-1/2' x 1/4" steel angle using a 40V max XGT® 4.0Ah battery (battery sold separately). It is engineered with Active Feedback-Sensing Technology (AFT®), a system that electronically turns off the motor if the rotation of the blade is suddenly forced to a stop. It has a large 2-5/8” cutting capacity that can handle various metal materials including pipe, stud, channel, strut, conduit, angle, square tubing, sheet metal, and more. It also has a built-in electric brake for maximum productivity.

Convenience features include an L.E.D. light that operates with pre-glow and afterglow to illuminate the workspace, a rubberized soft grip handle, and a trigger switch with a two-stage lock off that requires the user to press a button on the handle with their thumb before the tool can be activated. It has a side-load battery that provides a more compact design that is only 13-3/4" long for easier use in constrained spaces.

XGT® is a system of equipment, tools, batteries, and chargers utilizing 40V max lithium-ion batteries. XGT® is engineered to deliver high power to take on high-demand applications, allowing users to completely transition to a cordless job site. XGT is equipped with advanced brushless motor engineering, intelligent digital communication, and superior durability features to outpower, outsmart and outlast the rest.
