MAKITA diamond cutting discs meet the highest demands 
in working safety, ease of operation, and economical cut-
ting performance. They can be used for cutting all materials 
except metal.

The high durability of the diamond grains ensures low wear 
and thereby a very long service life with almost no change in 
disc diameter over the lifetime of the disc. This gives consistent 
cutting performance and thus high economy. The outstanding 
cutting qualities of the discs make cutting easier.

The metal disc plates give highly concentric running for minimal 
vibration during use.

The use of diamond cutting discs reduces cutting time sig-
niÞ cantly. This in turn leads to lower operating costs (fuel 
consumption, wear on parts, repairs, and last but not least 
environmental damage).

To keep down dust and for better cutting-disc cooling, MAKITA 
offers several options for wetting the disc during operation.

The pressurized water tank is connected to the Power Cut by 
the water set on the protective hood.
