The Makita XDG01Z is an 18V LXT cordless die grinder delivering 26,000 no-load RPM for grinding, deburring, and surface prep on metal, welds, and composite materials. The standard full-size barrel grip provides a secure hold, and the lock-on switch maintains speed during extended use. A 1/4 in. collet accepts standard die grinder bits, carbide burrs, and mounted abrasives. At 4.4 lbs. with battery, it is heavier than the compact XDG02Z but provides a more familiar ergonomic grip. Tool only — battery and charger sold separately.
What is the no-load RPM of the XDG01Z?
The XDG01Z runs at 26,000 no-load RPM — fast enough for most die grinding, burring, and surface finishing applications on steel, aluminum, and welds.
Is the XDG01Z brushless?
No. The XDG01Z uses a brushed motor. For a brushless cordless die grinder with longer runtime and reduced heat, check the newer brushless models in Makita's XGT (40V) or multi-volt lines.
What accessories fit the XDG01Z?
The 1/4 in. collet accepts standard die grinder accessories: carbide burrs, mounted grinding points, flap wheels, and drum sanders with 1/4 in. shanks. Most aftermarket grinding accessories for pneumatic die grinders will also fit.
How does the XDG01Z compare to the XDG02Z?
Both run at 26,000 RPM with a 1/4 in. collet. The XDG01Z uses a full-length barrel grip (15-3/4 in.) and weighs 4.4 lbs. with battery, while the XDG02Z is a compact short-neck design at 12-1/8 in. and 3.8 lbs. The compact XDG02Z is better for tight spaces; the full-size XDG01Z is more comfortable for extended use.
What batteries are compatible with the XDG01Z?
All Makita 18V LXT slide-style batteries with the Star symbol are compatible. Higher-capacity batteries like the BL1850B (5.0Ah) extend runtime for demanding grinding tasks.
Is the kit version (XDG01T) still available?
The XDG01T kit has been discontinued by Makita. If you need a kit, pair the XDG01Z tool-only with any 18V LXT batteries and charger you already own, or purchase a separate starter pack.
