About Makita DGA463 18V LXT Cordless Brushless Angle Grinder 115mm

The Makita DGA463 (359541) is an 18V LXT cordless brushless angle grinder built for professional trade use. It takes 115mm discs and runs at variable speeds between 3,000 and 8,500 rpm via a dial on the body. It's available as a bare unit or as a complete kit with batteries, charger and case.

Active Feedback Sensing Technology (AFT) shuts the tool down instantly if the disc suddenly slows a serious safety feature for trade use. It also has soft start, an electronic brake for rapid disc stopping, an anti-restart function and Automatic Torque Drive Technology (ADT) that adjusts speed and torque automatically. The slim-line body with ergonomic soft grip handles well during long sessions.

The DGA463 suits grinding, cutting and polishing across a wide range of materials. The wire mesh intake cover protects the motor from debris. For a cordless 115mm grinder with genuine trade-grade safety tech, this is a strong performer on the Makita LXT platform.

The Technology Explained

The DGA463 uses an 18V brushless motor, which means no carbon brushes to replace and better energy transfer from battery to disc. Variable speed runs from 3,000 to 8,500 rpm via a dial, giving real control over different materials. Automatic Torque Drive Technology (ADT) adjusts speed and torque automatically under load. Active Feedback Sensing Technology (AFT) cuts power if the disc suddenly slows a key safety feature. The electronic brake stops the disc fast. The wire mesh intake cover keeps debris out of the motor housing during heavy use.

Using It Safely

Always fit the correct guard a grinding guard for grinding discs and a cutting guard for cutting discs. Check every disc is rated above 8,500 rpm before fitting. Use the side handle at all times for control. Wear eye protection, gloves and hearing protection. The DGA463's AFT technology will shut down if the disc stalls but do not rely on it as a substitute for correct technique. Always wait for the electronic brake to fully stop the disc before setting the tool down.
