Metabo 4-1/2-Inch / 5-Inch Angle Grinder with Variable Speed and Safety Features
Category: metabo grinder
The Metabo WEV 17-125 Quick Inox, a part of the Pro Series, is a high-performing angle grinder engineered and manufactured in Germany, designed for enhanced durability, safety, and productivity in various industrial applications. This powerful tool excels in grinding, cutting, beveling, deburring, brushing, finishing, and polishing tasks, particularly on specialty materials like stainless steel.
Equipped with a LongLife 14.5 Amp AC motor, this angle grinder boasts a variable speed range of 2,000 to 7,600 RPM. It delivers twice the torque of standard grinders, enabling quicker material removal and polishing, while also offering up to 20% greater overload capacity, ensuring superior durability. The grinder features a range of electronic enhancements, including Soft Start, the VTC (Vario Tacho Constamatic) Speed Stabilization for consistent performance, and electronic overload protection, all aimed at maximizing productivity.
For extended longevity, especially in challenging working environments, the patented motor design includes an unobstructed rear air intake and optimized internal air flow, along with epoxy-coated copper windings that extend beyond the field coil for better heat dissipation and abrasion protection. Furthermore, the winding protection grid is engineered to increase the armature's lifespan by up to five times in harsh conditions.
Safety is a significant focus of the Metabo WEV 17-125. It incorporates the patented S-Automatic mechanical safety slip clutch, which minimizes the risk of kickback by assisting users in maintaining control when accessories get jammed. Ergonomically designed for user comfort, the handle reduces fatigue significantly, and the lock-on slide switch adds comfort during prolonged use.
To further enhance control, the angle grinder is fitted with a Metabo MVT Anti-Vibration Side Handle, featuring a bulb-shaped grip and a 15-degree offset that effectively lessens vibrations by as much as 60%. This design provides excellent ergonomics and mitigates the risks associated with long-term, repetitive use, thereby reducing potential work-related disorders of the hand, wrist, and arm.
Furthermore, the M-Quick System allows for the quickest tool-free disc changes with just a touch of the large spindle lock button, thus streamlining workflow. The adjustable guard can be modified without the need for tools for added safety during both grinding and cutting tasks. The die-cast aluminum gear housing not only dissipates motor heat efficiently but also features oversized bearings and heavy-duty gearing, providing durability and ensuring that it can rotate, allowing for multiple switch positions.
In summary, the Metabo WEV 17-125 Quick Inox represents a fusion of advanced engineering, powerful performance, and thoughtful design, making it an unparalleled choice for professionals who require a reliable and efficient tool for industrial grinding and cutting needs. With features specifically tailored for demanding applications and a focus on user safety and comfort, this angle grinder stands as a leading option in its category.
