Built in Germany, this Metabo angle grinder pairs an 11 A, 120V motor running at 11,000 RPM with 4-1/2 in and 5 in disc compatibility for cutting, grinding, brushing, beveling, and finishing work. The LongLife motor features epoxy-coated copper windings, an unobstructed rear air intake, and patented dust protection, delivering up to 50% more torque and 20% higher overload capacity. Safety is addressed through the S-Automatic mechanical slip clutch, which helps the user maintain control if an accessory jams, and a tool-free, burst-proof guard. The gear housing rotates in 90° steps for left-handed use or changing cutting angles, while the patented M-Quick system allows discs to be changed quickly at the press of a large spindle lock button.
