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 flagship cordless cutter: a 230mm grinder on the 40V XGT platform with AWS, the wireless system that starts a paired Makita dust extractor automatically when you pull the trigger. Brushless, with an electric brake, soft start and AFT bind-sensing, spinning a 9in disc at 6,600 rpm. It is a heavy, powerful tool at 4.9 kg with a 4.0Ah battery and 7.0 m/s² vibration, built for serious cutting and chasing where you would otherwise reach for a corded 9in.
