Bosch Cuts Vibration by 60% With New Large Angle Grinders
New 7-Inch 8,500 RPM Unit Proves Heavy-Duty, Versatile and Durable
Mount Prospect, Ill., February 1, 2005 - The world's grinder leader, Bosch Power Tools and Accessories, a division of the Robert Bosch Tool Corporation, made another leap forward in ergonomics and durability with its new line of heavy duty and versatile 1800 series 7 and 9 -inch large angle grinders and sanders. By integrating patented Bosch vibration-reduction technology, the new Bosch grinders cut vibration by 60%, the first answer to an issue plaguing grinder users every day.
Vibration Reduction
Over-exposure to vibration is fast becoming recognized as an occupational health issue by government and independent health organizations. Though professional grinder users understood years ago, the lack of a solution forced them to tolerate hand fatigue generated from long grinding applications.
In direct response to this issue, Bosch developed its innovative vibration reduction handle system. First offered in its small angle grinders and now throughout its complete line, the system incorporates special vibration absorbing rings into its three position side-assist handle and between the main trigger handle and grinder motor housing. Together, the system reduces vibration by an astounding 60%, offering professionals uncompromising comfort in all grinding applications.
New Bosch Large Angle Grinders
Six models complete the Bosch grinder line specifically designed to meet and exceed the needs of professionals in the metal and concrete construction industries. A worldwide dominance in grinder development and manufacturing led Bosch to provide grinders with the best possible balance between horsepower, RPM and weight, not to mention the world's most durable tool.
The model 1873-8, an entirely new grinder from Bosch, is the manufacturer's first 7-inch 8,500 RPM and 3-HP large angle grinder offering in North America. Truly designed for professionals, the grinder's speed optimizes the removal rate of any 7-inch wheel accessory. When time is money, only the most efficient tools will do. And while the 1873-8 offers the best overall performance, Bosch offers three other models to meet the varying needs of industry professionals: the 1873-6, 1893-6 and 1894-6.
The 1873-6 is a 3-HP 7-inch 6,000 RPM grinder, an industry standard. For those looking for larger diameter wheels, both the 1893-6 and 1894-6 tools offer 9-inch wheels. The former, at 6,000 RPM and 3-HP offers the best power-to-weight ratio available, while the latter is the champ at 4.5-HP and barely over 13-pounds. The 1894-6's rotating D-handle also distinguishes the two, offering users the ability to position the handle for optimal comfort and control in any job.
Rounding out the line are 7 and 9-inch large angle sanders; 1853-5 and 1853-6. Both reflect the same solid Bosch design and construction as their large angle grinder cousins. At 5,000 and 6,000 RPM, respectively, professionals can choose the sander that best serves their work.
Across the line, enhancements in usability and durability include the addition of a tool-free adjustable guard and a metal gear cover for working in the most demanding applications. Epoxy coated field windings provide the ultimate protection against abrasive dust and debris while precision spiral bevel gears offer quality engineering and construction for smooth power transmission. Each unit is also AC/DC compatible for use with welders or generators.
