Weighing just 4.7 pounds, this lightweight grinder is ideal for overhead applications or ones that require the operator to reach. Its slim motor housing design and ergonomic 15 degree offset side handle make this grinder more comfortable to use than other grinders on the market. The WP780 includes a non-locking paddle switch and auto-stop carbon brushes.
Additionally, the WP780 includes a burst-proof wheel guard meeting the latest international standards.
The new grinder comes standard with an inner flange, face spanner and outer nut. Optional equipment for the WP780 includes a Type 1 cut-off wheel guard and carrying case, as well as Metabo's wide range of abrasives. The WP780 is also covered by Metabo's XXL warranty.
