The new 4-1/2″ Small Angle Grinder seems ideal for mechanical contractors, concrete repair contractors and fabricators who need to perform a variety of applications in tight spaces such as grinding and beveling steel, grinding welds, cutting pipe and steel plate and concrete surface prep.

DeWalt DWE4011 Features
The new grinder uses a 7 amp 12,000 RPM motor which runs at low temperatures to help keep the grinder cool during extended use applications. The body is nice and slim and looks easy to grip as well as small enough to maneuver into tight quarters.
Whether or not more people will keep the guard on during casual use remains to be seen, but in the commercial world, guards are a necessary safety feature and having something that’s easily adjustable seems like a very convenient feature that will save time and energy. The two-position, side-handle can switch for both right- and left-handed users and the 5/8″-11 spindle thread accepts a wide range of 4-1/2″ accessories.
The DWE4011 4-1/2″ Angle Grinder is expected to retail for $59 and includes DeWalt’s 3-year limited warranty, one-year free service contract and 90-day money-back guarantee.
