  • Our take on the Makita 4-1/2 in. Small Angle Grinder

    The Makita 4-1/2 in. Small Angle Grinder is a corded 6 amp grinder spinning a 4-1/2 in. wheel at 11,000 rpm. It uses a slide switch with lock-on, a 5/8 in. spindle with spindle lock, and an 8 ft. cord. Labyrinth construction and zig-zag armature varnish are meant to keep dust out of the motor and bearings. It suits light-to-medium cutting, grinding and rust removal on metal, and trades the power and smoothness of bigger grinders for a compact body.

    Questions and answers

    Is this grinder good for cutting metal?
    Yes for light-to-medium cutting with a 4-1/2 in. cut-off wheel. The 11,000 rpm speed suits thin metal, rebar and pipe; thick plate takes slow, steady passes.
    Does it come with a grinding wheel?
    Yes, a grinding wheel is included. It is sold as a bare tool, not a kit, so no case or extra discs come with it.
    Can I use it for long grinding sessions?
    It can, but the 6 amp motor and brushed design mean it warms up and vibrates over long runs. Take breaks and let it cool between heavy passes.
    What size discs does it take?
    4-1/2 in. wheels with a 5/8 in. arbor, the common US size. The spindle lock holds the shaft for changes.
    Is it safe for a beginner?
    It is a standard corded grinder with a slide switch and lock-on. Wear eye and hearing protection and keep the guard in place; the lock-on switch means it keeps running after you let go.
    Where is the Makita 4-1/2 in. Small Angle Grinder cheapest?
    At Shell Lumber and Hardware, for $89.00, as of our latest check.
