Brushless Cordless Angle Grinder Makita DGA517ZJ 18V LXT 125mm ADT/AFT in a system case

The cordless angle grinder Makita DGA517ZJ 18V LXT® is a high-performance tool designed for professionals who demand power, safety, and complete control during work. This model, also known as Makita 18V 125 mm angle grinder or brushless cordless grinder for demanding tasks, offers an adjustable rotational speed of 3000–8500 RPM and a disc diameter of 125 mm.

Thanks to the BLDC brushless motor, the device provides greater durability, stable power, and lower energy consumption. The ADT – Automatic Torque Drive technology automatically adjusts the speed and torque to the load, while the AFT – Active Feedback Sensing system shuts off the tool in case of sudden disc blockage, protecting the user from kick-back.

The grinder is equipped with an anti-restart function, soft start, electric brake, and a battery charge level indicator. The ergonomic housing covered with vibration-absorbing rubber ensures a secure grip and comfort during work. The ZJ version is supplied in a Makpac Type 3 case, without batteries and charger.
