Does it come with grinding discs?

Yes. It ships with five grinding discs and a wrench, so it is ready to use out of the box.

Is it variable speed?

No. It runs at a single speed, so it is not the best pick for polishing or delicate work that needs slow rpm.

What size discs does it take?

It uses 4-1/2-inch discs with a 5/8-inch arbor, and the spindle thread is M14.

Is it corded or cordless?

It is corded. That means no battery to charge, but you need an outlet or extension cord.

How does it compare with a 5-inch grinder?

It is lighter and easier to control one-handed, but a 5-inch grinder cuts deeper and usually has more power.

Can I use it for cutting metal?

Yes. With a cutting disc it handles rebar, pipe and sheet metal; switch to a grinding disc for weld cleanup.

Our take on the Metabo HPT 4-1/2-In Angle Grinder Tool, 6.2-Amp, G12SR4

The Metabo HPT G12SR4 is a corded 4-1/2-inch angle grinder with a 6.2-amp motor and an M14 spindle. Its slimmed-down grip and lighter body make it easier to control one-handed than older 4-1/2-inch grinders, and the redesigned motor runs cooler for longer life. It ships with five grinding discs and a wrench, so it works out of the box. It suits home shops and light contractor work; heavy daily fabrication is better served by a larger 5-inch or higher-amp grinder.
