Where it sits among 230mm angle grinders

Scaled against the 26 angle grinders with a 230mm disc we list, so other sizes aren't in the mix. Not a score: bigger isn't always better for your job.

The verdictOur take

Makita's 230mm grinder on the twin-18V system: two LXT batteries combined to 36V to drive a 9in disc without leaving the 18V platform. Brushless, with an electric brake, soft start and AFT, geared down to 6,000 rpm for the larger wheel. It is a big tool, 5.9 kg with two 4.0Ah batteries and 7.0 m/s² vibration, so it earns its place on serious cutting and chasing rather than handheld finishing.

Tool weight worked out by adding each pack's weight to the bare tool, using the makers' figures. It takes two batteries, so each figure includes two packs. The maker's own with-battery figure can differ slightly. We may earn a commission on retailer links.
