Metabo 600468420 Corded Angle Grinder 5 in 13.5A

Product Description

The METABO 600468420 is a corded angle grinder built for demanding trade applications where consistent performance and operator protection matter. Powered by a 13.5-amp motor at 120 volts, it delivers a variable speed range of 2,800 to 11,000 RPM through a 5/8-11 spindle, accepting standard 5-inch grinding and cutting wheels. The slide switch with lock-on capability reduces operator fatigue during extended runs. Auto-stop carbon brushes shut the tool down when brushes wear out, protecting the armature. S-Automatic torque control and electronic overload protection keep the motor from bogging under load. At 6.6 pounds, it balances power and manageability for all-day use on metal fabrication, weld prep, and surface work.

This grinder suits residential and commercial job sites where electricians, pipefitters, ironworkers, and general contractors need a reliable 5-inch grinder for cutting, grinding, and surface preparation on steel and other metals. The gear housing can be unscrewed and remounted to accommodate left-handed operation or dedicated cutting setups, making it adaptable to varied work orientations. The 8-foot cord provides adequate reach at most workstations and panel setups without requiring an extension in typical bay or shop configurations.
