Makita CE001GL401 80V (40VX2) MAX XGT Brushless Cordless 14″ Power Cutter Kit w/ AFT & XPT (4) 8Ah

The Makita CE001GL401 80V (40VX2) MAX XGT Brushless Cordless 14″ Power Cutter is Makita’s first 14-inch cordless cut-off saw, built to handle demanding wet or dry cutting applications without the limitations of gas engines or power cords. Powered by two 40V MAX XGT lithium-ion batteries, this cutter delivers high output performance with a maximum cutting depth of 5 inches, making it suitable for concrete, masonry, metal, and asphalt cutting on jobsites where mobility and control matter.

The brushless DC motor provides a strong power-to-weight ratio while limiting heat buildup during prolonged cutting tasks. A high no-load speed of 5,300 RPM supports fast, clean cuts across a wide range of materials. Safety and control are central to the design, with features such as an electric brake that stops the blade within seconds, an electronic current limiter to protect the motor, and an anti-restart function that prevents accidental startup after battery changes.

Designed for professional use, the CE001GL401 includes Automatic Feedback-sensing Technology (AFT) to shut down the tool during sudden rotation loss, helping reduce kickback risk. eXtreme Protection Technology (XPT) helps guard internal components against dust, debris, and moisture. An integrated water supply kit allows quick setup for wet cutting, while the anti-vibration housing and guide roller wheels improve comfort and accuracy during extended cutting operations.
