Makita 4131 185mm 1100W 3500RPM Clean Cuts Metal Cutter

Key specs include: 1100W motor, 185mm (7-1/4”) blade diameter, maximum cutting depth of 63mm at 90°, no-load speed of 3,500 RPM, virtually spark-free cutting, CERMET-tipped blade, tool-less blade cover removal, integrated dust collector, stainless steel base plate, and a compact, lightweight design.

The tool uses a CERMET-tipped blade designed for heat resistance and durability, which helps deliver burr-free cuts. The integrated dust collector also reduces debris, keeping the cut line clean and reducing cleanup after cutting.

Yes. The Makita 4131 features a tool-less blade cover removal system, allowing quick blade changes on the job site without needing additional tools.

The built-in dust collector helps capture debris during cutting, keeping the workspace cleaner and reducing airborne particles around the cut line for better visibility and safety.

Key safety features include virtually spark-free cutting to minimize sparks, a stable stainless steel base plate for reduced vibration and deformation, and a guard system to shield the user from the blade during operation.

Ideal for metal fabrication, construction framing, and any application requiring fast, precise metal cuts such as steel and aluminum profiles, pipes, and sheets on site or in workshop settings.

Setup is straightforward: connect to a suitable power source, verify the blade is correctly installed with the tool-less cover in place, ensure the base plate is clean and secure, and switch on for cutting. Always wear appropriate PPE and follow standard safety practices.

Regularly inspect the blade for wear and damage, keep the base plate clean, clean the dust collection area after use, and store the tool in a dry place. Replace the blade when performance drops or there are visible signs of wear.
