The Makita XCS06T1 bundles the brushless XCS06ZK steel rod flush cutter with a 5.0Ah battery, rapid charger, carbide blade, side handle, chip bag, and tool case. The 4-5/16 in. blade spins at 2,200 RPM and cuts rebar or threaded rod up to 1 in. flush to within 1/8 in. of the surface. XPT sealing provides enhanced dust and water resistance for harsh job-site conditions.
What makes the XCS06T1 different from the XCS02T1?
The XCS06T1 is the current production model and adds Extreme Protection Technology (XPT) sealing for improved dust and water resistance. Both share the 4-5/16 in. blade, 2,200 RPM, and 1 in. cutting capacity.
What is the cutting capacity of the XCS06T1?
The XCS06T1 cuts rebar up to #8 (1 in.) and threaded rod up to 1 in. diameter, leaving the cut within 1/8 in. of the concrete surface.
Does the XCS06T1 include XPT protection?
Yes. XPT (Extreme Protection Technology) is a series of sealed components and internal baffles that protect the motor and electronics from dust and water intrusion, extending tool life in wet concrete environments.
What blade does the XCS06T1 use?
The included 4-5/16 in. 24-tooth carbide-tipped blade is optimized for mild steel rebar and threaded rod. The carbide tips minimize sparking and produce a clean, burr-free cut face.
How is the chip collection bag used?
The chip collection bag attaches to the blade guard housing and captures metal cut-offs as they are ejected. This keeps the work area clean and reduces the risk of metal fragments falling into formwork or below the pour line.
Can the side handle be removed on the XCS06T1?
Yes. The 3-position side handle can be repositioned or removed entirely depending on the job. It is recommended to keep it installed for two-handed control during standard cutting operations.
