Makita SD100D 12v Max CXT Cordless Drywall Cutter

The Makita SD100D is a cordless drywall cutter designed for precision cutting in plasterboard and light timber applications. Powered by Makita's compact 12V Max CXT lithium-ion battery system, this drywall saw delivers up to 6,000 strokes per minute with a 6mm stroke length, making it ideal for cutting openings for electrical boxes, service penetrations, and trimming boards to size. Built for site productivity, the SD100D features variable speed control for matched cutting pace across different materials, plus an integrated LED job light for improved visibility in poorly lit areas. The orbital cutting mechanism and specialised blade design enable straight, accurate cuts without the blade wandering, whilst the adjustable cutting depth setting provides control for different board thicknesses up to 30mm in drywall and 15mm in wood. Designed with overhead work in mind, the tool weighs just 1.4-1.6kg and incorporates excellent balance for reduced user fatigue during extended use. The protective base cover prevents surface scratching and damage to finished plasterboard, whilst the integrated dust box captures debris during ceiling installations. For dust-sensitive environments, the cutter connects directly to vacuum extraction systems. Practical features include on-tool hex key storage and a trigger lock for safety.
