Key Features & Benefits
- 25,000 RPM no-load speed — high speed for fine grinding, deburring cast edges, and polishing weld seams on metal components.
- Short-nose design (307mm) — nearly 100mm shorter than the long-nose DGD800Z, providing better balance and manoeuvrability for close-quarters work.
- Dual collet sizes (1/4″ and 1/8″) — accepts both standard 6.35mm burrs and smaller 3.175mm engraving and detailing accessories without adapters.
- 43mm aluminium bearing box — solid aluminium neck accepts accessories and provides excellent heat dissipation during sustained grinding.
- Ultra-lightweight at 1.1 kg — the lightest in the Makita cordless die grinder range, reducing fatigue during extended precision work.
- Anti-restart function — prevents accidental startup when inserting a battery with the switch locked on.
When to Use This Die Grinder
The DGD801Z is the compact, close-quarters option where the longer DGD800Z would be unwieldy. Choose this model for deburring small castings, grinding in engine bays, polishing jewellery-scale work, and any task where the shorter body and lighter weight improve control. The dual collet (1/4″ and 1/8″) gives access to smaller accessories that the long-nose model cannot use.
