Leading power tool manufacturer Makita UK has expanded its XGT 40VMax range of machines with the launch of the DK0014G two-piece combo kit, DK0172G XGT two-piece combo kit, KP001G planer, HS011G circular saw and VC005GL, VC002GL and VC004GL dust extractors.

DK0014G & DK0172G XGT 40VMax two-piece combo kits

A must-have for any tradesperson, the DK0014G and DK0172G combo kits both feature two of Makita’s most popular professional cordless power tools in a convenient storage solution. The DK0014G includes the TD001GZ XGT 40VMax impact driver and HP001GZ XGT 40VMax combi drill. The DK0172G includes the TD001GZ XGT 40VMax impact driver and HP002GZ XGT 40VMax combi drill.

Both kits also include two 2.5Ah XGT batteries and the DC40RA Fast Charger, and everything is helpfully packed into a type 3 Makpac case for easy storage and transportation. The kits also come supplied with the 191C10-7 ADP10 charger adaptor, so the DC40RA can be used to charge existing LXT batteries, making it even easier to switch between tools and tasks.

With the TD001GZ close at hand, users can easily remove or drive screws into harder materials, and the HP001GZ and HP002GZ make screwdriving and drilling applications a breeze.

KP001G XGT 40VMax planer

The incredibly powerful KP001G is perfect for smooth, rough and thin planing. It has a planing width of 82mm and an impressive cutting depth of 4mm, and can deliver a no-load speed of 15,000rpm for maximum efficiency and rapid cutting. With left and right chip ejection, the brushless KP001G also features a foot on the baseplate, allowing the base of the machine to be raised off the bench or material when not in use, which protects the workpiece from scratches and damage.

To ensure user safety, this machine has an electric brake, which works to quickly stop the blade once the tool is powered down. It also includes Makita’s soft start technology, and an anti-restart function to prevent accidental start up. Thanks to the inclusion of Makita’s Auto-start Wireless System (AWS), the KP001G can also be wirelessly connected to a compatible dust extractor via Bluetooth, enabling it to start up automatically when the tool’s trigger is engaged.

HS011G XGT 40VMax (270mm) circular saw

Compatible with a guide rail, this powerful circular saw is designed for precision rip cutting and delivers output equivalent to corded alternatives. It has a no-load speed of 3,500rpm, can achieve bevel cuts up to 1° (left) and 60° (right) and has a maximum cutting capacity of 101mm at 0°, 71mm at 45° and 51mm at 60°.

The HS011G features constant speed control, which works to maintain the blade speed and ensure optimum cutting performance. To ensure user safety, this machine includes AWS technology for efficient dust extraction and includes an electric brake to quickly slow down the wheel rotation.

VC005GL, VC002GL & VC004GL XGT 40VMax dust extractors

The VC005GL, VC002GL and VC004GL dust extractors have been developed to offer tradespeople a powerful solution for quickly and effortlessly cleaning up at the end of the workday. All machines deliver a maximum sealed suction of 23kPa and have large tank capacities - VC005GL (8l); VC002GL (8l); VC004GL (15l) – which allows for less frequent emptying of the tank. The VC002GL and VC004GL also include an automatic self-cleaning filter to prevent blockages and ensure optimum efficiency.

The VC005GL can be used for dry vacuuming and the VC002GL and VC004GL are both suitable for vacuuming finer, airborne particles.
