Makita Power Cutter XEC01Z 9 Inch 36V LXT Brushless Bare Tool (6600 RPM 3-1/2 Inch Cut Depth AFT Brake Integrated Water Concrete Metal Saw)

Makita XEC01Z 36V (18V X2) LXT Brushless 9-Inch Cordless Concrete Power Cutter - Bare Tool

The Makita XEC01Z 36V (18V X2) LXT Brushless 9-Inch Power Cutter delivers zero-emission masonry sawing across cured concrete slabs, steel rebar, corrugated decking, ductile iron pipe, and masonry block. Driven by a high-torque brushless motor spinning at 6,600 RPM, this cordless cut-off tool achieves a full 3-1/2-inch (3.50 in) cutting depth to slice standard residential concrete slabs in a single continuous pass. Active Feedback-sensing Technology (AFT) shuts off motor power instantly if wheel binding occurs, while an integrated water delivery system ensures OSHA Table 1 silica dust compliance, and an electronic safety brake arrests abrasive wheels in under 4 seconds during heavy indoor renovation and municipal utility cuts.

**Battery and charger sold separately.

Best Used For:

• Single-Pass Concrete Slab Trenching: Slicing 3-1/2-inch deep plumbing trenches and expansion joints in basement slabs and interior commercial buildings without engine exhaust.
• Structural Steel & Rebar Cutting: Severing heavy #5 and #6 grade 60 rebar cages, structural square tubing, and metal deck sheets cleanly on elevated framing decks.
• Utility Pipe & Masonry Block Sizing: Scoring concrete retaining wall pavers, ductile iron water mains, and clay sewer pipes with integrated water dust suppression.

Key Performance & Safety Features

• Active Feedback-Sensing Technology (AFT): Monitors rotational speed and shuts the brushless motor down immediately if the blade binds in deep slab cuts.
• Integrated Water Delivery System: Built-in wet-cutting manifold with water flow adjustment knob provides OSHA Table 1 crystalline silica compliance.
• Rapid Electric Blade Brake: Stops spinning 9-inch diamond or abrasive wheels in 4.0 seconds or less upon trigger release for fast set-down.
• Smooth Belt-Drive Transmission: Dampens rotational vibration and provides smoother power transfer to the arbor than traditional direct-drive gas saws.
• Extreme Protection Technology (XPT): Internal protective seals channel water droplets and abrasive concrete slurry away from sensitive electronics.
• Enclosed Battery Compartment: Latching protective cover isolates dual 18V LXT battery packs from dust, vibration, and liquid ingress.

Technical Specifications

Pro-Tip: Connect a pressurized water feed bottle to the integrated brass inlet and dial the valve knob just until a steady mist covers the 9-inch blade; this provides complete OSHA Table 1 silica compliance while preventing slurry splashback inside the motor housing.
