New Angle Grinder from Metabo Features Longest Run Time, Cooler Operation

Ideal for large area cutting and grinding applications

2011-04-14

WEST CHESTER, PA, April 14, 2011 (Press-News.org) Metabo Corporation, a leading international manufacturer of professional grade portable electric power tools and abrasives for industrial, construction and welding applications, has introduced a new large angle grinder to its Metabo Metal Masters series. The W26-230 delivers the most power and longest run time of any grinder in its class.

The grinder features a newly designed diagonal fan that pulls air across the motor for optimized air flow and cooler operation. Combined with its powerful operation, the W26-230 is ideal for the prolonged cutting and grinding large areas of metal safely and efficiently.

Equipped with a 9" wheel, the W26-230 delivers 159 inch-lbs of torque and a no-load speed of 6,600 rpm. This large angle grinder is one of the most efficient on the market, featuring a long-lasting 15 A motor with 2,400 W of power and 4.7 hp.

The W26-230 includes Metabo's VibraTech (MVT) three-position side handle that significantly reduces vibration levels up to 60%. The side handle also allows users to turn the tool 90° to cut vertically, while still having a firm grasp on the grinder. The grinder's ergonomic rear handle includes a vibration dampening system and twists into three different positions for comfort during cutting, while reducing user fatigue.

The tool includes Metabo's simplified on/off switch configuration with a safety lock-out switch, a burst-proof guard with seven positions and a spindle lock. The W26-230 features a double winding protection grid that deflects harmful airborne debris away from the armature windings as well as auto-stop "COLD" carbon brushes that increase the tool's service life.
