The Makita XAG12PT1 is the complete kit version of the XAG12Z1, pairing the 36V (18V X2) brushless 7 in. paddle-switch grinder with two BL1850B 5.0Ah batteries and a dual-port DC18RD charger for ready-to-work heavy-duty grinding. The electric brake stops the 7 in. disc in 4.5 seconds or less, and 7,800 no-load RPM powers through thick metal, large welds, and concrete surface preparation. Two 5.0Ah batteries ensure extended runtime on demanding jobsites.
Does the XAG12PT1 kit include both batteries needed to run the 36V grinder?
Yes, the XAG12PT1 includes two BL1850B 18V LXT 5.0Ah batteries. The 36V output is created by inserting both batteries into the tool's dual battery slots, which wires them in series automatically. No special 36V pack is required.
What charger is included with the XAG12PT1?
The kit includes a DC18RD dual-port rapid charger, which charges two 18V LXT batteries simultaneously. This means you can recharge both batteries at the same time and have a full set ready quickly — critical when running a heavy-duty 36V tool for extended periods.
How heavy is the XAG12PT1 in operation?
The grinder body alone weighs 11.4 lbs with batteries — substantially heavier than 4-1/2 in. / 5 in. grinders. This is expected for a 7 in. professional grinder. A side handle and proper two-handed technique are essential for control and operator safety.
What applications is the 7 in. disc size best suited for?
A 7 in. disc excels at surface preparation on large concrete and masonry surfaces, heavy weld grinding, thick steel plate work, and stock removal tasks where the wider coverage of a 7 in. wheel dramatically reduces time compared to a 4-1/2 in. disc.
Is the XAG12PT1 compatible with angle grinder accessories designed for corded 7 in. grinders?
Yes, any 7 in. accessory with a 5/8 in.-11 arbor and an RPM rating at or above 7,800 RPM is compatible. Standard grinding wheels, flap discs, diamond blades, and wire wheels in 7 in. size all work.
