DEWALT® Launches Cordless Brushless Grinders

TOWSON, MD - (September 28, 2017) – DEWALT® announces the launch of cordless brushless grinders, including the 20V MAX* XR® 4.5” Angle Grinder (DCG413R2), the 20V MAX* XR® 5” Flathead Grinder (DCG413FR2), and the 20V MAX* XR® 1-1/2” Die Grinder (DCG426M2). The new cordless grinders feature efficient, brushless motors that are durable, don’t require brush changes, and offer long runtime.

The new 20V MAX XR® Angle Grinder (DCG413R2) from DEWALT features a brake, E-Clutch® System, and Kickback Brake. The brake quickly brings the wheel to a stop in two seconds or less when the trigger is released. The E-Clutch® System automatically shuts down the motor when a wheel pinch is detected. The Kickback Brake incorporates both of these features, activating in the event that a pinch or stall occurs, engaging the brake at maximum force and shutting the tool down; effectively reducing the force towards the user.

Additionally, the grinder features a One-Touch™ Guard, which allows for single-action adjustments to change guard position. The grinder also comes with two removable mesh screens that help to block debris from entering the tool during use. Finally, the grinder features an on/off trigger switch that has a no-volt release function, to stop accidental turn-on. In the event of a power outage or other unexpected shut down, the trigger switch will need to be cycled (turned off and then on) to restart tool. At only 3.75 lbs. (tool only) and 12.2" long, the tool achieves up to 850 MWO and is part of the 20V MAX* system of tools. In addition to the DCG413R2, there is also a flathead version of the unit DCG413FR2 which offers similar features to the unit above, but incorporates a thin gear case that allows users to grinder in tighter spaces.

Each of the tools mentioned above is part of the DEWALT PERFORM AND PROTECT™ line of tools designed to provide a high level of one or more of the following: control, dust containment or low vibration, without sacrificing performance. For a list of the DEWALT PERFORM AND PROTECT™ drilling and grinding solutions that adhere to the new OSHA ruling on protections for workers exposed to respirable silica dust, go to DEWALT.com.

The new 20V MAX* XR® Variable Speed Die Grinder (DCG426M2) features a three speed selector switch allowing users to choose 0-10,000 RPM, 0-17,500 RPM, and 0-25,000 RPM. Each speed selection starts with 0 as the unit also has a variable speed rocker switch that allows the user to control speed within those ranges based on the pressure applied to the selector. The unit has also been outfitted with a 3 LED light ring that helps to illuminate the work surface during use.

DEWALT offers a variety of grinding solutions at various power levels and cost options. Available where DEWALT products are sold in fall 2017, the grinders will come standard with a three-year limited warranty, one-year free service contract and 90-day money-back guarantee.

*Maximum initial battery voltage (measured without a workload) is 20 volts. Nominal voltage is 18.
