| Metabo introduces new angle grinder  Metabo Corporation offers a new 6" angle grinder/cut-off machine with a non-locking paddle switch. Typical users of the WEP14-150 Quick include welders, sprinkler fitters, pipe fitters, plumbers, steam fitters, mechanical contractors and those involved in metal fabrication and the mechanical trades. 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% of the no-load speed right up to the grinder's full rated amp load. 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%; 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. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Construction News :: home page |
