18V Large Angle Grinder for Tough Heavy Steel Fabrication Jobs

The powerhouse M18™ Fuel™ 7 in/9 in Large Angle Grinder from Milwaukee® Electric Tool Corporation (Brookfield, WI) is an 18V large angle grinder that generates the power of a 15 amp-corded LAG, is up to 2 lb lighter than the leading corded unit, and features 9 in grinding capacity. “Through a total redesign of the electronics, the manufacture of a powerful new motor, and the brand-new M18 RedLithium™ High Output™ HD12.0 battery, users don’t need equip two batteries or move up to higher voltage for grinding,” said Kevin Gee, a senior product manager for Milwaukee Tool. “It’s the ultimate boost to productivity.” The 7 in/9 in Large Angle Grinder combines three exclusive innovations: the Powerstate™ brushless motor, RedLithium™ battery pack, and Redlink Plus™ intelligence. Milwaukee reengineered these critical cordless components to deliver the very best performance catered to this tool and its applications.

The newly-created Powerstate brushless motor delivers the speed and capacity to grind and cut through tough applications without bogging down. The Redesigned Redlink Plus intelligence package utilizes electronics never used before in power tools and ensures maximum performance of the tool under load, preventing overload and overheat. Equipped with the HD12.0 battery, the tool eliminates the hassle of cords or constant switching-out of multiple battery packs while exceeding the performance of higher voltage systems in the industry. This battery provides 50 percent more power, runs 50 percent cooler, and delivers 33 percent more run-time than an HD9.0 battery. All of these functions combine to allow users to push the grinder hard and work all day, delivering more work-per-charge than any other professional power tool system.
