Overview

The DEWALT DWE4120N is a corded electric angle grinder running on 120 volts, with a 1140 watt motor spinning up to 12000 RPM. It weighs 5 pounds bare.

A 1140 watt motor and 12000 RPM no load speed put this in the small angle grinder class, the kind used for cutting, grinding, and surface prep with 4 to 5 inch discs. Being corded means constant power without battery runtime limits, at the cost of needing an outlet nearby. At 5 pounds, it is light enough for one handed overhead or awkward angle work.

  • 12000 RPM no-load speed
  • 1140 watt motor, 120V corded

Who it's for

Metalworkers, welders, and DIYers doing grinding, cutting, or deburring who want continuous power without battery swaps. Less suited to cordless only job sites or anyone prioritizing portability over runtime.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • High 12000 RPM motor speed
  • Consistent corded power, no battery runtime limit
  • Light at 5 pounds bare
Cons
  • Requires an outlet or extension cord
  • Not usable on cordless-only job sites

Performance notes

The 1140 watt motor driving 12000 RPM gives this grinder enough speed to move through cutting and grinding discs efficiently, which is the main driver of how fast it clears material. Running on a 120 volt cord means output does not fade as a battery drains, a real advantage during long grinding sessions. At 5 pounds bare, fatigue during overhead or extended use should be lower than with heavier grinders.
