- Is the 6142-30 good for cutting metal?
- Yes. The 11-amp motor and 11,000 RPM speed handle cutoff wheels in steel, rebar and pipe well. Use the correct wheel and guard for the material.
- Does it have a lock-on switch?
- Yes. The paddle switch has a lock-on so the grinder keeps running during long cuts and grinds without holding the paddle.
- Can I use it for concrete or masonry?
- Yes, with a masonry grinding or cutting wheel and the guard in place. It is a dry grinder, so dust control matters.
- Does it have variable speed?
- No. It runs at a single speed, so polishing and delicate work are better suited to a variable-speed grinder.
- What wheels fit it?
- It takes 4-1/2 inch wheels with a 5/8-11 arbor, the common size for US angle grinders.
- Is it a good choice over a cordless grinder?
- If you work near power, the corded motor gives constant power with no battery swaps. Cordless models are better for remote sites.
