It is ideal for grinding and cutting a wide range of materials including tile, concrete, pipe, conduit, and more. An electric current limiter helps protect the motor from overload in high-torque applications. Additional features include an electric brake that stops the grinding or cut-off wheel in 2 seconds or less and Active Feedback-sensing Technology (AFT) that turns the motor off if rotation of the wheel is forced to a stop. A paddle switch with no lock-on is convenient, while quick guard rotation provides tool-less adjustments for increased productivity. Anti-restart protection is engineered to prevent motor start-up when the battery is inserted while the switch is locked on. A soft start suppresses start-up reaction and provides smooth start-ups. Wire mesh intake covers are engineered to prevent debris from entering the motor. The GAG08Z is also equipped with Makita's Extreme Protection Technology (XPT™), a series of protective seals inside the tool. XPT is designed to improve a tool’s operation in harsh conditions by channeling water and dust from key internal components. Reinforced metal gear housing provides additional durability on the job site. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"flex max-w-full flex-col grow\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-message-author-role=\"assistant\" data-message-id=\"9e20ff0b-bece-43ec-a8fa-ba457c195e17\" dir=\"auto\" class=\"min-h-8 text-message relative flex w-full flex-col items-end gap-2 text-start break-words whitespace-normal [.text-message+\u0026amp;]:mt-1\" data-message-model-slug=\"gpt-5-mini\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"flex w-full flex-col gap-1 empty:hidden first:pt-[1px]\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"markdown prose dark:prose-invert w-full break-words light markdown-new-styling\"\u003e\n\u003ch5 data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"30\"\u003eWhat Our Experts Think\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul data-start=\"31\" data-end=\"558\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"31\" data-end=\"158\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"33\" data-end=\"158\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"33\" data-end=\"68\"\u003ePro‑level grinding performance:\u003c\/strong\u003e 40V Max XGT brushless motor delivers strong, consistent power for cutting and grinding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"159\" data-end=\"261\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"161\" data-end=\"261\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"161\" data-end=\"179\"\u003e6″ wheel size:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ideal balance of control and cutting capacity for metal, concrete, and masonry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"262\" data-end=\"346\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"264\" data-end=\"346\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"264\" data-end=\"283\"\u003eElectric brake:\u003c\/strong\u003e Enhances safety with quick wheel stop after trigger release.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"347\" data-end=\"466\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"349\" data-end=\"466\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"349\" data-end=\"375\"\u003eBare tool flexibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e Perfect for users with existing 40V Max XGT batteries (battery\/charger sold separately).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"467\" data-end=\"558\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"469\" data-end=\"558\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"469\" data-end=\"494\"\u003eDurable construction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Designed for rugged jobsite use with reliable Makita quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch5 data-start=\"560\" data-end=\"571\"\u003eQ\u0026amp;A\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul data-start=\"572\" data-end=\"1132\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"572\" data-end=\"712\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"574\" data-end=\"712\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"574\" data-end=\"580\"\u003eQ:\u003c\/strong\u003e Does this include a battery?\u003cbr data-start=\"609\" data-end=\"612\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"614\" data-end=\"620\"\u003eA:\u003c\/strong\u003e No — this is a bare tool;
