- What wheels fit the DWE4012?
- It takes 4-1/2 inch wheels with a 5/8-11 arbor, the most common size for small angle grinders. That covers most grinding discs and cutting wheels sold for this class.
- Is it good for cutting rebar and pipe?
- Yes, for light and occasional cutting. The 12,000 RPM speed cuts metal quickly, but heavy continuous cutting is better suited to a higher-amp grinder.
- Does it have variable speed?
- No. It runs at a single 12,000 RPM. Variable-speed grinders are a separate model if you need to slow the wheel for polishing or delicate work.
- What is the trigger lock for?
- It holds the paddle switch on so you don't have to keep squeezing during long cuts. Release the paddle to stop the tool.
- Corded or cordless for a home shop?
- Corded suits a bench or outlet nearby and never needs charging. Cordless is better for work away from power, at the cost of battery weight and runtime.
