## Description

Makita delivers grinding performance with the 18V LXT® Brushless 4-1/2” / 5” Paddle Switch X-LOCK Angle Grinder with AFT®, tool only (XAG26Z). The unique feature with this angle grinder is the X-LOCK Technology, which is a quick-change system for tool-free wheel changes. A click-mount and pull release lever make changing wheels easy. The XAG26Z is ideal for grinding and cutting a wide range of materials including tile, concrete, pipe, conduit, and more.It's powered by a Makita-built brushless motor for longer run time, increased power and speed, and longer tool life. The BL™ Brushless Motor eliminates carbon brushes, enabling the motor to run cooler and more efficiently for longer life. Active Feedback-sensing Technology (AFT®) turns the motor off if rotation speed suddenly slows or the wheel is forced to a stop.The XAG26Z also includes a large no lock-on flush-mount paddle switch with two-stage lock-off. In the event that a battery is installed while pulling the paddle switch into the ON position, the anti-restart function prevents the grinder from starting.It’s part of Makita’s expanding 18V LXT System, the world’s largest cordless tool system powered by 18V lithium-ion slide-style batteries. Makita® 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Batteries have the fastest charge times in their categories, so they spend more time working and less time sitting on the charger.For improved tool performance and extended battery life, Makita created Star Protection Computer Controls™. Star Protection is communication technology that allows the Star Protection-equipped tool and battery to exchange data in real time and monitor conditions during use to protect against overloading, over-discharging and overheating. For increased versatility, the tool can also be powered by Makita 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Batteries with the star symbol on the battery indicating Star Protection inside.

Review: Another quality tool from Makita. Slightly heavy but in a good way. I haven't put a lot of hours on it but so far so good.
Review: Long time user of Makita tools, and this grinder is another great product. I can’t tell the difference in power between my corded grinder and this one. So much nicer not having to worry about a cord while cutting or grinding. The Xlok is really nice, quick and convenient. I can switch from a cut wheel to grinder or wire wheel in a fraction of the time and no wrench needed.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: does any blade come with this?**
A: Yes mine came with 1 ultra thin cutting blade and a 1/4 inch thick heavy duty makita grinding disk. I use this for my work, it's an amazing upgrade to any corded device. I also love the break and not to mention the Xlock both decrease the amount of time you must have the tool on your hands. Makeing them free for other fun tasks.

**Q: Makita is running a free-battery promotion with purchase of this tool-only model. How do you obtain that free battery?**
A: This listing is tool only.

**Q: Does this take the makita 18v lithium ion with the star on the sticker?**
A: Yes

**Q: Does the grinder have variable speed options?**
A: Automatic Speed Change™ technology adjusts speed and torque during operation for optimum performance. The XAG24 is the model that has a speed adjusting dial. I haven’t used my XAG26 without the speed dial to be sure that the automatic system works well in most situations.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by J***H on 6 February 2024*

Theres not much in an angle grinder. It’s spins things fast and they grind, polish, or cut things. So it really comes down to how well it does those things and how safely it does those things. The makita is safer because 1) the easy guard installation and adjustment means you’re more likely to use it, 2) the x lock wheels cannot be installed off center, and 3) the brake stops the disc almost instantly. It’s well-balanced and one-hand usable, which is important to me. I need to be able to grind with one hand and secure the work with the other sometimes. This tool allows that with good control. Power wise, it’s not is powerful as a 9a or higher corded grinder, but it does have enough power to do anything I need done at reasonable speed. To stall the wheel it took about all the force I could muster. Since I cannot apply that much load, the grinder has plenty of torque for my uses. You notice the slower RPM when cutting, so it’s not the fastest cutting tool around. But it will cut and do it without stalling or complaining. 9/10 would buy again.
