Metabo's 6-inch angle grinder pairs a 12.0 A, 120V AC/DC motor running at 10,000 RPM with a die-cast aluminum housing built for demanding grinding, cutting, deburring, brushing, and beveling work. The patented M-Quick System allows tool-free disc changes through a large spindle lock button, while the tool-free adjustable guard and rotatable gear housing (in 90° steps) make it easy to adapt the grinder to left-handed use or different working positions. Safety is addressed through a mechanical slip clutch that helps the user keep control if the accessory jams, along with a burst-proof guard and auto-stop carbon brushes that protect the motor. The LongLife motor, with epoxy-coated copper windings, unobstructed rear air intake, and patented dust protection, is rated for up to 20% higher overload capacity and 50% more torque, and the Mvt anti-vibration side handle reduces vibration by up to 60%.
