Makita Cut-Out Tools
Makita Cut-Out Tools for Drywall and Panels
Makita cut-out tools make fast openings for outlets, boxes, and vents in drywall and sheet goods. This collection includes the 18V LXT XOC01 cut-out tool, the brushless XOC02Z with AWS wireless dust extraction pairing, the corded 3706 drywall cut-out tool, and the XDS01Z cordless cut-out saw. It also carries the XCM01Z 3" cut-off tool and StarlockMax oscillating multi-tools like the GMT01Z and XMT04R1B for plunge cuts.
What to Look For
- Rotary vs. oscillating. Rotary cut-out tools trace openings with a spiral bit. Oscillating tools plunge straight in for trim and notches.
- Dust control. AWS capable models can start a compatible Makita extractor automatically.
- Brushless or brushed. The XOC02Z adds a brushless motor over the XOC01.
- Kit or tool only. Kits like the XOC01T include a 5.0Ah battery and charger.

Makita Cut-Out Tools FAQ
Does Makita make a dust attachment for cut-out tools?
Yes. Makita offers a dust extracting attachment for its cut-out tools that connects to a vacuum hose. Paired with an AWS capable tool like the XOC02Z and a compatible extractor, the vacuum can start and stop with the tool.
Is there a warranty on Makita cordless cut-out tools?
Makita's lithium-ion cordless tools, batteries and chargers carry a 3-year limited warranty. Corded drywall cut-out tools fall under the 1-year limited warranty that applies to most other Makita products. Bits and blades are wear items and are excluded.
