Makita 21" Replacement Lawn Mower Blade — 21-inch One-Bolt Mulch/Side-Discharge, Forward-Tilt for XML07/XML08/XML09/CML01

Makita 191D52-7 is a 21-inch one-bolt replacement mower blade engineered for clean cutting, mulching, bagging or side discharge on compatible Makita 36V (18V X2) cordless mowers.

This heavy-duty replacement blade fits Makita cordless lawn mower models XML07, XML08, XML09 and the CML01 deck to restore slicing performance and produce fine clippings that decompose quickly. Designed to tilt forward when installed, the blade minimizes double-cutting and helps the mower run more efficiently. Installation is straightforward: a single bolt secures the blade to the spindle so you can swap it out in minutes and get back to mowing.

How does this blade improve cut quality and lawn health?

The 21" profile and cutting geometry are tuned to produce smaller, more uniform clippings that settle into the turf rather than choking it. Fine clippings return nutrients to the soil as they break down, which supports healthier grass without added inputs. The blade’s sharpening and edge design focus on clean shearing rather than tearing.

• 21-inch length for wider cutting swath and even distribution
• Edge geometry optimized for clean, uniform clippings
• Mulch-capable design reduces visible clippings on the lawn
• Promotes faster decomposition of clippings into the turf

This replacement is built to match Makita mower spindles and fits models CML01, XML07, XML08 and XML09. It uses the mower’s standard single-bolt mounting system, so you won’t need special adapters. Follow the mower manufacturer’s torque and safety instructions when changing blades to ensure correct seating and secure attachment.

• Refer to mower manual for torque specs and safety steps

How does the forward tilt feature affect mower performance?

The blade is designed to tilt slightly toward the front of the mower deck once installed to avoid cutting the same grass twice in one pass. That forward tilt reduces redundant cutting, which lowers energy draw and can extend battery run time on cordless models. It also helps maintain a consistent cut height and finish across the lawn.

• Frontward tilt prevents double-cutting during a single pass
• Improves energy efficiency and battery run time on cordless mowers
• Contributes to a consistent, even cut across the deck
• Helps maintain mower blade clearance and deck airflow patterns

It’s ideal for anyone seeking a versatile 3-in-1 blade (mulch, bag, side discharge) that’s quick to install and tuned to produce fine clippings for healthier turf. Choose this blade when you want straightforward compatibility with Makita mower models and a practical upgrade to restore cutting performance without modifying your deck.
