18V Brushless 125 mm Diamond Cutter — Wet and Dry, Bevel Cut to 45°
Part No: DCC501ZX1 | Barcode: 88381738446
The Makita DCC501ZX1 is a cordless 18V brushless diamond cutter that cuts tile, masonry, and concrete up to 40 mm deep at 90° and 27 mm at 45°. Supplied with both wet and dry cutting guards and a 125 mm diamond wheel, it switches between dust-extracted dry cutting and water-fed wet cutting by swapping a single screw — giving one tool full flexibility across tiling, block work, and concrete chasing tasks.

Key Features & Benefits
- Brushless motor at 8,800 rpm — delivers rapid cutting speed through dense material while extending motor life and reducing maintenance.
- Automatic Torque Drive (ADT) — automatically increases torque under load, powering through hard spots in concrete and masonry without the motor bogging down.
- Wet and dry cutting guards included — swap between water-fed wet cutting for clean, dust-free tile work and dry cutting with dust extraction for indoor masonry chasing, using a single screw changeover.
- 40 mm cutting depth at 90° — deep enough for standard brick, block, and concrete chasing in a single pass, eliminating the need for multiple shallow cuts.
- 0°–45° adjustable bevel — enables angled cuts for mitred tile edges, drainage falls, and stone detailing directly on site.
- XPT (Extreme Protection Technology) — seals and channels inside the tool divert dust and moisture away from critical components, extending durability in harsh cutting environments.
- AWS (Auto-start Wireless System) compatible — pairs with a Makita wireless transmitter (sold separately) to auto-start a connected dust extractor when the cutter is triggered, keeping hands free.
- Electric brake — stops the blade rapidly after the trigger is released, reducing wait time between cuts and improving safety.
- Lightweight at 3.0 kg (with battery) — reduces fatigue during extended overhead or vertical cutting tasks compared to corded alternatives.
When to Use This Diamond Cutter
Reach for the DCC501ZX1 when you need to cut tile, pavers, brick, or concrete on site without running power leads or water lines to a fixed saw. The wet guard and water tank let you make clean, dust-free cuts on porcelain and ceramic, while the dry guard and dust bag handle quick chasing jobs in masonry. The 45° bevel capacity makes it especially useful for tilers who need mitred edges. If you are already on the Makita 18V LXT platform, this cutter shares batteries with your existing kit.
Pro Tip: Always use the wet cutting guard and water supply when cutting porcelain or natural stone — it extends diamond wheel life dramatically and prevents micro-cracking from heat. For dry concrete chasing, connect a Makita AWS-compatible dust extractor via the wireless transmitter to keep silica dust under control and comply with workplace exposure standards.
