Description
Trailing extension cords trip laborers and generate severe line voltage drops on remote concrete slab pours. The Makita 18V X2 36V LXT 14-inch cordless cut off saw kit delivers clean cold cuts on steel rebar without combustion engine exhaust fumes. Continuous heavy cuts through solid structural bar stock deplete twin 5.0 Ah battery packs within twelve minutes of operation.
A high-performance brushless motor routes direct current from twin 18-volt batteries, generating 36-volt power without internal carbon brush wear. Precision spiral bevel gears housed in a die-cast aluminum gear case transmit rotational force to the 1-inch arbor spindle. An electronic feedback control module monitors wheel speed, applying an active electronic brake that halts spinning 14-inch abrasive wheels within four seconds of trigger release.
Cordless Cut Off Hardware Parameters
Commercial rebar fabrication demands rapid cold cuts on protruding anchor bolts and structural steel bar without toxic gas fumes. Integrated overload indicators warn operators before excessive hand downfeed trips electronic motor protection.
- 36-volt brushless motor delivers 3800 RPM to sever structural steel, rebar, and cast iron pipe
- 14-inch abrasive wheel capacity cuts five inches deep to clear heavy commercial conduit in single passes
- Electronic feedback brake stops wheel momentum within four seconds to maximize worker safety
- Tool-less wheel guard rotates across multiple positions to shield operators from hot abrasive sparks
- Overload indicator light flashes red to alert operators when hand downforce exceeds motor limits
- Cast aluminum base plate resists jobsite drop impacts while providing steady flat cutting support
- Twin 5.0 Ah battery packs supply balanced weight distribution across the rear tool handle
Bench Load Telemetry Amperage Draw
Under free-spin rotation, the brushless motor draws 4.8 amps DC across the 36-volt platform. Sectioning three-inch solid structural steel bar stock elevates discharge current to 36.4 amps as wheel velocity dips from 3800 RPM down to 3240 RPM. Gearbox housing temperature reaches 124 degrees Fahrenheit under repeated heavy cycling. Operating noise peaks at 94 dBA under heavy abrasive friction.
Field Service Trade-Offs Application Filter
Do not use this cut off saw for precision wood trim jointing or delicate cabinet scroll cuts. Operators who twist the abrasive disc inside deep cuts bind the wheel and shatter the composite fiberglass matrix. Clean metal filings out of the battery connection terminals using compressed air each shift. Inspect the spark chute for metal slag accumulation at the close of work. Store lithium battery packs inside dry climate-controlled tool trailers.
Warranty Protection Standard Package Items
A 3-Year limited warranty covers the cut off saw chassis, battery packs, and dual-port rapid charger. The kit box contains the 14-inch cut off saw, two 5.0 Ah batteries, dual-port charger, 14-inch abrasive cut-off wheel, and arbor wrench.
