Makita GD001G 40v Max XGT Cordless Brushless Slide Switch Die Grinder

The Makita GD001G is a cordless die grinder designed for precision grinding, porting, and finishing applications across metalwork, fabrication, and automotive trades. Part of Makita's advanced 40v Max XGT cordless platform, this professional-grade tool combines the power and runtime of XGT lithium-ion technology with the convenience of cordless operation. The brushless motor delivers variable speed control from 7,000 to 29,000 RPM, providing the versatility needed for different materials and applications.

Built specifically for demanding workshop environments, the GD001G features XPT (eXtreme Protection Technology) which guards internal components against dust and liquid ingress—essential for prolonged reliability in grinding and metalworking environments. For enhanced operator safety, Active Feedback sensing Technology (AFT) monitors motor performance and instantly cuts power if rotation speed suddenly drops, preventing potentially hazardous kickback situations that can occur when accessories bind or snag.

This slide switch variant is ideal for extended grinding sessions, with a lockable switch design that reduces hand fatigue during continuous operation. The integrated LED worklight illuminates the work surface for improved visibility in confined spaces or poorly lit workshops. At just 1.6kg body weight, the tool remains manoeuvrable whilst the 6mm collet capacity accommodates standard die grinder accessories. The shaft lock mechanism simplifies accessory changes, requiring only a single spanner—the tool arrives complete with a Type 3 Makpac case for organised storage and transport.

Features and Benefits:
• Runs on any Makita XGT 40v battery for compatibility across the platform
