Milwaukee wants to give its users the power to get a job done and the freedom of movement. Their newest grinder has the power and cutting capability to handle any situation. In any case, when it comes to grinders, they are used to abuse and demanding jobs. But have you ever had a braking grinder that can stop on a dime, keep the user protected, and still handle all the challenging work? You get all that in one machine with the Milwaukee M18 FUEL 4-½” – 6” Braking Grinder. Thanks to the technology inside, battery, and control, productivity increases and accidents decrease.
Power to Protect
The grinder features a kickback-reducing clutch and Rapid Stop brake to protect the user from potential injuries and accidents. The Rapid Stop halts all accessories in under 3 seconds, allowing the user to set down the tool and continue to another task. Rapid Stop will increase the productivity time on a site by no longer having to wait for the disc to come to a stop gradually.
This can make fabrication faster for metalworking purposes, allowing the user to weld pieces together sooner. Removing rust and imperfections from the material becomes an easy check-as-you-go job. No more worries about wearing out the machine when you stop and check the work.
A journeyman or anyone using a grinder must have a tool that prevents kickback. You might not catch a snag in time or overestimate the machine when working. REDLINK technology will stop the grinder before causing any damage. The little feature can save you and other workers from injury.
One Powerful Battery
Running on one M18 REDLITHIUM HIGH OUTPUT XC 6.0 battery gives the grinder the same power as a 13A corded power tool. You can have a machine with the same power without unnecessary cords and cables, and you must find a plug. With the M18 battery, you can get hours of work without stopping and easily switch between other M18 tools.
You can cut through thicker material on that one battery with the grinder with no problem. You have a 6-foot grinding radius with a POWERSTATE brushless motor spinning the blade at 9,000 RPM.
Two Options
Different workers have different preferences for how they want to use their tools. The Braking Grinder offers a no-lock paddle switch configuration (2980-21) and a lock-on slide switch configuration (2981-21). The options are ideal for workers with the preference and ideology of locking a grinder while it is in use. These options are personal preference but will give your safety inspector some breathing room, knowing you can get one that doesn’t lock.
Final Thoughts
This new grinder from Milwaukee will make any metalworking easier with its size, power, and safety precautions. Improving the workflow on the job is what Milwaukee does. Any user on any job can perform an entire day’s work on one battery. With over 175 power tools in the M18 platform, the grinder is a welcome addition to Milwaukee tools and your worksite.
