MACHINERY: Angle Grinders
Click to enlarge• Robert Bosch Tool Corp., Mt. Pleasant, Ill., rolls out a lineup of corded and cordless small angle grinders with new motors and improved ergonomics.
The new models are:
- GWS13-60 – 6” angle grinder featuring 13-amps and 9,300-rpm;
- GWS13-50 – 5” angle grinder featuring 13-amps and 11,500-rpm;
- GWS10-45 – 4.5” angle grinder featuring 10-amps and 11,500-rpm;
- GWS18V-50 – Cordless 18V 5” angle grinder featuring 10,000-rpm and four-pole motor; and
- GWS18V-45 – Cordless 18V 4.5” angle grinder featuring 10,000-rpm and four-pole motor.
All of the grinders in this series feature advanced performance and durability. Powerful new motors, extending from 10- and 13-amp models to 18V, deliver more amperage than predecessors for faster work and greater productivity. In addition, many of the grinders offer improved durability, combining longer carbon brush lifetimes, stronger motors, direct cooling and unparalleled motor overload protection.
In addition, longer multi-grip paddle switches allow users to grip the grinders in virtually any position along the ergonomic barrel. While convenient for the operator, this design change also ensures the tool’s air inlets aren’t obstructed by hands. This innovation is both a benefit to the user and an industry first.
The 18V cordless grinders (GWS18V-50 and GWS18V-45) models bring an extra level of performance and mobility to the jobsite with their powerful four-pole motors.
“We believe these new tools are some of the most versatile and cost-effective grinders on the market, delivering tool innovations unique to this class,” said Mike Iezzi, product manager, grinders for Robert Bosch. “We designed productivity and safety features based on input from individual users. So virtually every trade professional, from steel workers to contractors, contributed to development of these products.”
