Specialty Grinders for Tough Grinding and Cutting Applications



Milwaukee Tool has expanded its cordless specialty angle grinder lineup with the M18 FUEL 5" Flathead Braking Grinders and the M18 FUEL 4-1/2"-5" Variable Speed Grinders. Milwaukee offers a full grinder lineup on a single battery platform.

Generating 11 amp corded power, the M18 FUEL 5" Flathead Braking Grinders deliver 8,500 RPM for maximum sustained power. Its low-profile flathead design provides greater accessibility to tight spaces to complete a cut or grind an edge where a traditional 5" grinder may not be able to reach.

The M18 FUEL 4-1/2"-5" Variable Speed Grinders generate 11 amp corded power and feature five speed settings between 3,500 RPM and 8,500 RPM, allowing the user to slow down or speed up the accessory during grinding and cutting applications.

Both grinders feature a RAPIDSTOP Brake for enhanced user safety, stopping most wheels in less than two seconds. The grinders are available with either a paddle switch designed for increased comfort and ease-of-use, or a slide switch designed to reduce user fatigue. Tool-free guard adjustments provide faster guard installations and adjustments to keep users productive on the job.

Like all M18 FUEL products, these grinders combine three exclusive innovations: the POWERSTATE brushless motor, REDLITHIUM battery pack and REDLINK PLUS intelligence.

The POWERSTATE Brushless Motor provides maximum sustained power, allowing users to complete tough grinding and cutting applications. REDLINK PLUS Intelligence offers enhanced performance, protection and compatibility. "When equipped with a REDLITHIUM HIGH OUTPUT XC 6.0 Battery, which delivers 50% more power and runs 50% cooler than standard XC REDLITHIUM Batteries, the grinders allow users to get more done on a single charge," said a company spokesperson.
