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.
