Makita - 18V LXT® Lithium‑Ion Brushless Cordless Steel Rod Flush‑Cutter Kit (5.0Ah)

The Makita 18V LXT® Brushless Steel Rod Flush-Cutter Kit (XCS06T1) delivers professional-grade precision and power for cutting rebar, threaded rod, and steel materials flush to the surface — all without cords or sparks. The advanced BL™ Brushless Motor spins at up to 2,200 RPM, providing fast, burr-free, and low-spark cuts ideal for structural, electrical, and mechanical trades.

Makita’s Automatic Speed Change™ Technology adjusts torque and speed for optimal performance during cutting, while spiral-bevel gears ensure smooth rotation and efficient power transfer. The integrated stopper guide secures rod at a 90° angle to the blade, ensuring precise, repeatable results.

For maximum usability, the tool features a three-position adjustable side handle, a rubberized soft grip, and compatibility with the Makita 18V LXT® System—the world’s largest 18V cordless tool lineup. The included Rapid Optimum Charger and 5.0 Ah battery ensure reduced downtime on every jobsite.
