- Is the DWE4012 good for cutting metal?
- Yes. With a 4-1/2 inch cut-off wheel it handles rebar, bolts, sheet metal and pipe. It is best for short, controlled cuts rather than long continuous cutting.
- Does it have variable speed?
- No. It runs at a single 12,000 RPM no-load speed. If you need slow speeds for polishing or wire brushing, look at a variable-speed model.
- What size wheels does it take?
- It uses 4-1/2 inch wheels with a 5/8-11 arbor, the most common size for small angle grinders. Type 27 grinding and cut-off wheels both fit.
- Is it too powerful for a beginner?
- It is manageable for a first grinder. The 7.5 amp motor is modest for its class, and the compact body is easier to control than a large 7-inch grinder.
- Can it be used for masonry?
- Yes, with a masonry grinding or cutting wheel and the guard in place. It is suited to light tile and mortar work, not heavy concrete cutting.
