- Is this grinder powerful enough for cutting steel?
- It handles thin sheet, rebar and bolts, but it cuts slower than a corded 4.5-inch grinder. For thick plate or long continuous cuts, a corded or brushless model is better.
- Does it come with a battery and charger?
- That depends on the listing. Some are sold as bare tools, so check the box contents before buying if you do not already own Avid Power 18V batteries.
- What size discs does it take?
- It takes standard 4.5-inch (115 mm) grinding and cutting discs with a 7/8-inch arbor. That is the most common size, so wheels are easy to find.
- How does it compare with a corded angle grinder?
- A corded 4.5-inch grinder spins at 10,000-11,000 rpm and runs all day. This one tops out at 8,500 rpm and depends on battery charge, but it works anywhere.
- Can it be used for sanding and polishing?
- Yes, with the right 4.5-inch flap discs or sanding pads. It is not a substitute for a dedicated polisher for fine finishes.
- Where is the Avid Power Cordless Angle Grinder Motor cheapest?
- At Lowe's, for $55.99, as of our latest check.
