Metabo, a German international manufacturer of professional-grade cordless and corded handheld power tools and accessories in the U.S., has introduced the W11 Series of 18V Angle Grinders.
“Metabo is excited to welcome in the next generation of 18V small angle grinders, manufactured in Germany. The new grinders are packed with Metabo’s industry leading safety features and offer outstanding overload protection for non-stop performance," said Joseph Masters, Metabo’s senior product manager.
The new W11 series of 18V small angle grinders include the 4 ½-in. to 5-in. WPB 18 LTX BL 11-125 Quick, available as a bare tool or kit (613059830 bare or 613059520 5.5 kit). The grinder features a powerful and fully encapsulated 10,000 rpm, 1,100-watt/11-amp equivalent brushless motor for performance. Metabo offers a 6-in. version, the WPB 18 LTX BL 11-150 Quick, available as either a bare tool or kit (601737830 bare or 601737620 5.5 kit). The 6-in. kit includes both 6-in. guards for cutting and 4-½-in. guards for grinding applications. The third grinder, the 4 ½-in. to 5-in. WVPB 18 LT BL 11-125 Quick (601738830 bare) is a variable speed grinder with a no-load speed of 2,800-10,000 rpm.
The W11 series features soft start, Metabo’s M-Quick tool free wheel change system, mechanical safety clutch, safety brake, non-locking paddle switch and overload protection. Other highlights include Metabo’s TC (Tacho-Constamatic) electronics for speed stabilization. The W11 series grinders are made for weld cleaning and removal, beveling and chamfering, as well as fabricating metal, when working on metal stairs and railings.
The new grinders have an upgraded body style and a four-position, lock-on rotatable battery foot. The newly designed flange and guard enable the W11 series grinders to be compatible with all Metabo accessories that fit the corded range of grinders (Metabo’s GED dustless guard for concrete surface grinding or Metabo’s tuckpointing guard).
