The Makita XCS04ZK is the tool-only version of the 18V LXT brushless rebar cutter. The BL Brushless Motor cuts up to #5 (5/8 in.) rebar in 2.8 seconds. The 360-degree rotating cutting head and built-in LED support precise positioning in tight rebar layouts. Accepts any 18V LXT battery.
What rebar sizes does the XCS04ZK handle?
The XCS04ZK cuts rebar from #3 (3/8 in.) up to #5 (5/8 in.). It completes a #5 rebar cut in approximately 2.8 seconds and delivers roughly 233 cuts per 5.0Ah charge.
Does the XCS04ZK come with blades?
As a tool-only model, the XCS04ZK does not include a blade set. Replacement cutter blades (SC09002470) are available separately from Makita.
Which battery provides the best runtime with the XCS04ZK?
A 5.0Ah LXT battery (BL1850B) is recommended for production use, yielding approximately 233 cuts of #5 rebar. A 6.0Ah BL1860B will provide additional runtime between charges.
Is the XCS04ZK motor brushless?
Yes. The BL Brushless Motor eliminates brush wear and heat buildup, resulting in lower maintenance requirements and longer motor life compared to the brushed XCS01Z.
Can the XCS04ZK cut Grade 60 rebar?
Yes. The XCS04ZK is rated for Grade 60 rebar up to #5. For heavier #6 rebar, the brushed XCS01Z covers that size range.
What angle can the cutting head be set to?
The cutting head rotates a full 360 degrees around the tool body, giving the operator complete flexibility to orient the blade for any approach angle in congested reinforcement layouts.
