Metabo Corp. now offers the 6-inch WEPA14-150 Quick small angle grinder, featuring a unique autobalance system that extends tool and wheel life while making it safer and more comfortable to use.
Metabo’s new auto-balance technology replaces a traditional backing flange with an auto-balancing flange pressed onto the spindle. Ball bearings automatically offset out-of-balance conditions present in the grinding accessory while the tool is in use, reducing vibration significantly.
The new grinder also decreases the risk of cumulative work-related disorders such as white-finger syndrome, minimizes operator fatigue, and can potentially increase the life of a grinding disc by 50 percent. The WEPA14-150 Quick is ideal for heavy-duty cutting and grinding applications, and it features a long-lasting 12.2- amp motor.
An improved and sonically balanced fan paired with improved venting and more efficient internal ducting has increased air flow over the motor by 15 percent. The Vibratech side handle also reduces vibration. Weighing just 6.1 pounds, the grinder delivers 1,400 watts of power, 31 inch-pounds of torque and a no-load speed of 9,000 rpm.
