Makita DCO180 18v LXT Cordless Drywall Cutter

The Makita DCO180Z is an 18V cordless drywall cutter designed for creating precise outlet holes in plasterboard during construction and renovation projects. Part of Makita's LXT system, this specialist tool delivers a powerful 30,000rpm rotational speed, enabling fast, clean cuts through drywall with minimal effort required from the operator. Weighing just 1.7kg, the DCO180Z offers excellent manoeuvrability for overhead and vertical cutting tasks where fatigue can be a concern. The ergonomic barrel handle features ribbed soft-grip material for improved control and cutting precision, whilst tool-less depth adjustment allows quick changes between 11.5-31mm cutting depths without interrupting workflow. The shoe plate doubles as a bit replacement wrench, adding practical functionality on site. Safety and convenience features include an anti-restart function to prevent accidental start-up when batteries are connected, plus a slide-type on/off switch with lock-on facility for extended cutting operations. The unit is compatible with a dust cover for vacuum extraction, helping maintain cleaner working conditions and improved visibility of cutting lines. This is a body-only machine, supplied without battery, charger or carry case, allowing existing LXT users to integrate it into their current tool system.
