Our take on the Dewalt DCG408B 20V Max Brushless Cordless Paddle-Switch Grinder 4.5 in (Tool Only)

The DeWalt DCG408B is a 20V Max brushless 4.5 in angle grinder with a paddle switch. It holds speed under load, spins up to 9,000 RPM, and adds a kickback brake and E-CLUTCH anti-rotation to cut the risk of a bind-up kick. It accepts 4 to 5 in wheels and swaps guards without a wrench. It is a tool-only purchase, so you need a 20V Max battery and charger. Against corded grinders it trades constant mains power for portability; against other cordless grinders its safety electronics and brushless motor are the draw. Owners like the control and the brake, and note it is heavy and thirsty on batteries.

Questions and answers

Does the DCG408B come with a battery and charger?
No. It is sold as a tool only, so you need a DeWalt 20V Max battery and charger, which are sold separately.
What size wheels does it take?
It accepts common 4 in to 5 in wheels, with 4.5 in being the typical size. A Type B guard and a clip-on guard are included.
How does it compare with a corded 4.5 in grinder?
It gives you the same wheel size without a cord, but a corded grinder runs at full power indefinitely. This one holds speed well under load but depends on the battery.
What safety features does it have?
It has a paddle switch, overload protection, a kickback brake and E-CLUTCH anti-rotation, which stops the tool if it kicks back.
How many cuts can it make on one battery?
DeWalt rates it at up to 56 cuts of 1/2 in rebar with a DCB205 battery and DW8062 cutting wheel. Real results vary with the material and battery.
Is it good for grinding welds?
Yes. The brushless motor holds speed under load and the 4.5 in wheel suits weld blending. Expect it to be heavy for long overhead sessions.
