excellent as always - definitely way of the future - as is starlock .Waiting for excuse to replace my multi and my grinder.Looking forward also to a brushless cordless track saw from bosch. Having used Makita all my life I have become a bosch fanboy of late - now have a collection strictly for home use , not site work getting trashed as do my makitas - as everyone will have experienced , coworkers grab the nearest

I have multiple grinders that I use with a flap disk, cutoff wheel, and grinding disk. While I will stay with that setup at the shop, this would be a great option when going mobile. That's 2 less tools to pack out. The brake is a big bonus. No more waiting for it to coast to a stop. Good stuff!

Got the Makita x-Lock, just cos I’m on their 18v platform. Really neat innovation from Bosch, the days of the regular grinder discs are numbered!

X lock would make running flap discs down to the fibre even easier

Bosch is one of my favorite brands amongst makita which makita has just realised it on fb

All my tools are BOSCH....I love it

In the metalworking area it is common to have multiple grinders. One with a cut-off, one with a wire brush, flapdisk.. because it's faster and less annoying to change disks than tools.

Not that im going to rush out and buy a new grinder but this is great. I often run 2 grinders if im going between cutting and grinding a bunch to save changing disks. Also whenever i grab my big 18x2 9" makita and put a disk on it i always have to double and tripple check to make sure i got all the flanges right and all that.

Your right about the mental annoyance when you get your grinder out and it has the wrong blade on it you tend to roll your eyes and say f#*k sake 😂

Good review guys. From EU 🇪🇺🇬🇧.

That's the best thing since sliced bread

Good stuff here! I hope it gets adopted sooner.

Great idea.

Great video!

Great video, great info! Hopefully it will become standard soon.

Bosch owns Freud Diablo, so I'd expect them to put premium x-lock wheels on the market.

2 years later, never heard of it! Flixtec is good enough!

Haven't found an answer to this, but...

Hey guys, how would this work with the threaded spin on Walter flap discs
