Milwaukee has expanded its M18 FUEL grinder lineup with four new models designed to enhance performance, safety, and versatility. The new 4-1/2″ / 5″ Variable Speed Braking Grinder and 4-1/2″-5″ Flathead Braking Grinder are available in both paddle switch and slide switch configurations, offering flexibility for a wide range of applications.
Key Features of the New Grinders
Flathead Design for Tight Spaces
The 4-1/2″-5″ Flathead Braking Grinders feature a low-profile design, making them ideal for accessing tight spaces under ledges, in corners, and other confined areas.
The narrow front of the tool allows for better maneuverability in challenging work environments.
Variable Speed Control
The 4-1/2″-5″ Variable Speed Grinders offer 5 speed settings ranging from 3,500 RPM to 8,500 RPM, providing greater control for different materials and applications.
This versatility ensures optimal performance for both grinding and cutting tasks.
RAPIDSTOP Brake for Enhanced Safety
Both grinder models feature Milwaukee’s RAPIDSTOP Brake, which shuts off the tool in under 2 seconds, significantly reducing the risk of injury or damage to your workpiece.
This feature is especially useful in high-risk environments where quick stopping is critical.
Paddle Switch vs. Slide Switch
Paddle Switch Models: The grinder only runs when the trigger is pressed, ensuring immediate shutdown if the tool is dropped or loses control. This enhances safety during operation.
Slide Switch Models: Ideal for larger projects, the slide switch allows the grinder to stay on without continuous pressure on the switch, reducing fatigue during extended use.
Maximum Power and Efficiency
Both grinder models generate 11A corded power with Milwaukee’s POWERSTATE brushless motor, delivering maximum versatility and efficiency for cordless tools.
Compatible with both 4-1/2″ and 5″ cutting discs, these grinders are designed to handle a wide range of materials and applications.
Applications
Flathead Grinders: Perfect for tight spaces, such as under ledges or in corners, where traditional grinders may struggle to reach.
Variable Speed Grinders: Ideal for tasks requiring precise control over speed and torque, such as grinding, cutting, and finishing.
Why Choose Milwaukee’s New Grinders?
Enhanced Safety: RAPIDSTOP Brake and paddle switch options ensure greater protection for operators and workpieces.
Versatility: Variable speed settings and compatibility with multiple disc sizes make these grinders suitable for a wide range of applications.
Efficiency: POWERSTATE brushless motor delivers maximum power and efficiency for demanding tasks.
Compact Design: The flathead design allows for better access to tight spaces, improving productivity in challenging environments.
