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.
