The Milwaukee M18 FUEL 4-1/2" / 5" Variable Speed Braking Grinder is a cordless angle grinder with a paddle switch and no lock. It is sold as a bare tool, so the battery is not included. It has a POWERSTATE brushless motor that delivers up to 8,500 RPM for grinding and cutting.
A variable speed dial offers 5 speed settings between 3,500 and 8,500 RPM. The RAPIDSTOP brake stops most wheels in less than 2 seconds. REDLINK PLUS Intelligence lets the batteries and tool communicate for performance, protection and compatibility.
The guard adjusts without tools, and the integrated FIXTEC nut allows tool-free accessory changes. The paddle switch design is made for comfortable operation in various positions. The grinder works with all M18 batteries. M18 REDLITHIUM HIGH OUTPUT batteries provide 50% more power and run 50% cooler than standard M18 REDLITHIUM batteries.
