Overview

A LongLife motor with dust protection and epoxy coated copper windings drives this Metabo grinder, while a mechanical slip clutch helps the user stay in control if a disc jams. A spindle lock button and the M-Quick flange nut allow disc changes without a wrench.

Safety and durability features are the reason to buy: the slip clutch, auto-stop brushes and a burst-proof guard each protect the user or the motor. The die-cast aluminum gear housing helps shed heat. The slim handle suits long sessions, though cord length is not given.

Who it's for

Welders, fabricators and masons get a corded grinder whose guard adjusts without tools for both grinding and cutting. Left-handed users can rotate the gear housing. Someone wanting a battery tool for roaming work should look at cordless models.

Performance notes

Removal rate depends on torque under load, which Metabo raises with its LongLife motor and overload capacity. Cooling comes from an unobstructed rear air intake, optimized internal air flow and the aluminum gear housing. If the disc binds, the slip clutch slips to cut the reaction reaching your hands.
