Hand-held 7-inch angle grinder with a 4.9 HP motor and overload protection. The tool runs at up to 8,500 rpm for material removal with 7-inch grinding wheels. It includes a dust ejection system intended to reduce particle ingestion into the motor and several safety and restart‑protection features.
Project Ideas
Business
Sidewalk Trip-Hazard Grinding
Offer fast removal of 1/4–1 in. sidewalk uplifts to reduce liability and meet ADA guidelines. Use 7 in. diamond cups with a shroud and vac to create smooth, feathered transitions. Bill per hazard or per linear inch; the high‑power motor speeds throughput, and overload protection keeps production steady on tough aggregate.
Mobile Weld Cleanup and Beveling
Serve small fab shops and job sites with on‑call post‑weld grinding, edge prep, and mill scale removal. Provide bevels for plate/pipe, smooth fillets, and prep for paint or galvanizing. Charge hourly plus consumables; the E‑Clutch and quick‑change guard reduce downtime when switching between cutoff, grinding, and flap wheels.
Garage/Basement Floor Prep for Coatings
Prep concrete for epoxy or polyaspartic by removing old paint, mastic, and laitance, and profiling to CSP‑2/3 with diamond cups. Bundle crack chasing and edge grinding where large grinders can’t reach. Price per square foot with add‑ons for repairs; dust ejection and power‑off overload protection keep the tool running in abrasive environments.
On‑Site Metal Cut‑and‑Cap Service
Cut fence posts, anchor bolts, rebar tails, and protruding fasteners flush, then grind smooth and apply caps or cold‑galv as needed. Ideal for property managers, fence installers, and remodelers. Charge a call‑out fee plus per cut; the 7 in. wheel diameter and 4.9 HP motor make quick work of thicker stock.
Stone/Concrete Edge Chamfer and Polish
Offer clean chamfers and eased edges on countertops, steps, and pavers. Use segmented diamond wheels for shaping and resin pads for a uniform finish. Target landscapers and small countertop shops that lack field equipment. The anti‑vibe handles improve control on delicate edge work and reduce operator fatigue.
Creative
Brutalist Terrazzo Side Table
Cast a round or square concrete top seeded with marble or recycled glass, then use a 7 in. diamond cup and polishing pads on the grinder to expose aggregate and bring it to a satin sheen. Chamfer edges and flatten high spots quickly with the 4.9 HP motor. The anti‑vibe handles help on long passes, and the quick‑change guard lets you swap from cup wheel to flap disc for edge finishing.
Geometric Steel Fire Pit
Cut triangles or hexagons from 3/16–1/4 in. plate with cutoff wheels, then bevel joints for strong welds and clean up seams with 60–120 grit flap discs. Add decorative kerfs and softened edges for a professional look. The E‑Clutch is useful when a wheel pinches on thicker plate, while the low‑profile gearcase helps get inside corners.
Sculpted Stone Garden Steppers
Shape and texture limestone or granite pavers into organic steppers. Use a diamond cup to flatten, then a turbo cup to carve channels and a resin pad to soften foot-contact areas. The dust ejection system helps protect the motor during extended stone work, and the 7 in. reach makes quick work of wide faces.
Reclaimed Metal Wall Art Panel
Arrange scrap steel (gears, chain, plate offcuts) on a backing, tack weld, then use the grinder to blend welds, add surface textures, and create contrasting finishes with flap discs and conditioning wheels. Highlight high spots and leave mill scale in recesses for depth. Finish with a clear coat for an industrial art piece.
Chef Knife From Bar Stock (Coarse Grind Build)
Profile a chef knife blank from 1084 or 5160 using cutoff wheels, then rough in bevels with 36–60 grit flap discs before heat treat. Post-HT, refine with 120–220 grit flaps and a Scotch‑Brite wheel for a satin finish. The power‑loss reset is handy when working near a quench tank, and the soft‑grip, anti‑vibe handles reduce fatigue during beveling.
