Milwaukee’s New Grinder Provides Optimal Comfort and Operator Control
Brookfield, WI Milwaukee Electric Tool Corporation introduces a new 6-inch Right Angle Grinder with a powerful 1.9 max horsepower 11.0 amp motor for mechanical contractors, boiler makers, pipe/steam fitters, welders and metal fabricators and general and heavy contractors. The new grinder is durable yet lightweight, weighing only 6.6 pounds, and has tachometer feedback that provides constant speed and power under load to optimize cutting and grinding. The model 6160-20 6-inch Right Angle Grinder has overload protection that helps prevent overheating and motor failure. It is also designed with soft start which reduces start-up torque and provides improved gear life. The tool’s paddle style switch provides optimal comfort and operator control. Grinder users prefer a paddle style switch and it is often required on major job sites. Milwaukee is the only company to offer a 6-inch Right Angle Grinder with a paddle style switch.
In addition, Milwaukee has included an easily adjustable, tool-free, five-position guard allowing for fast guard adjustments. It also has a three-position side handle for maximum control and comfort during cutting and grinding applications. The tool features high air flow directed through four exhaust vents for cooler running and longer motor life and comes with one Type 27 6-inch x 0.45-inch abrasive cut-of wheel and side handle.
