Metabo's Improved Angle Grinders
Metabo Corporation has upgraded seven angle grinders that provide up to 15% more power and improved performance.
The WEP14-150 Quick's new non-locking paddle-switch increases user safety by automatically turning the grinder off when dropped, and its safe design positions the user's hand far from the grinding wheel.
In addition to user safety, the electronic grinder also amplifies user productivity with Metabo's Tacho-Constamatic (TC) speed stabilization.
TC electronics enable the grinder to work at nearly 100 percent of the no-load speed (9,000 RPM) right up to the grinder's full rated amp load (12 amps).
The angle grinder/cut-off machine is also equipped with Metabo's "Quick" wheel change system, which allows tool-less wheel changes; a safety clutch, which allows the operator to maintain control of the tool in the event of a jam; a Vibratech anti-vibration handle that reduces vibration by 60 percent; and overload protection, which shuts the tool down when it detects overheating.
Maximum torque for the grinder is 31 inch-lbs and it weighs 5.6 lbs.
The WEP14-150 Quick features current interruption protection, a user friendly spindle lock, a low-profile aluminum die cast gear housing, an electronic winding temperature monitor with LED display, and auto-stop carbon brushes.
