Metabo's 4.5-inch angle grinder pairs an 11 A, 120V AC/DC motor with a 11,000 RPM spindle speed, making it suited to grinding, finishing, cutting, brushing, beveling, and deburring. Its LongLife motor features patented dust protection, up to 20% higher overload capacity, and 50% more torque, while the S-Automatic mechanical slip clutch helps reduce kickback risk by supporting user control when an accessory jams. The M-Quick System allows tool-free disc changes via a large spindle lock button, and the gear housing rotates in 90° steps to accommodate left-handed use or cutting positions. A tool-free adjustable, burst-proof guard, an integrated non-locking paddle switch, and auto-stop carbon brushes that protect the motor round out a German-engineered tool with a slim handle designed to reduce operator fatigue.
