MILWAUKEE, WI – Unwavering in their dedication to delivering productivity-enhancing solutions that provide the right blend of power, run-time, and performance, Milwaukee Tool is proud to round out its cordless grinding lineup with the addition of new small-angle grinders that generate the power of 13 amp corded. Featuring a full 6” grinding capacity, the M18 FUEL™ 4-1/2” - 6” Braking Grinders include Rapid Stop to automatically stop all accessories in less than 3 seconds. With the addition of these new tools, Milwaukee® is now the only power tool manufacturer to offer a full range of cordless grinders that outperform corded on one battery.

The M18 FUEL™ 4-1/2” - 6” Braking Grinders feature a kickback-reducing clutch and a Rapid Stop brake that stops all accessories in under 3 seconds. This feature ensures that the accessory comes to a quick and complete stop, allowing the user to set down the tool and move on to the next task without having to wait for the wheel to stop. The new grinder will be offered with a no-lock paddle switch configuration and a lock-on slide switch configuration to accommodate user preferences.

Equipped with Milwaukee’s M18™ REDLITHIUM™ HIGH OUTPUT™ XC6.0 Battery, the tool eliminates the hassle of cords or constant switching-out of multiple battery packs, while exceeding the performance of higher voltage solutions in the industry. In conjunction with REDLINK PLUS™ Intelligence and the POWERSTATE™ Brushless Motor, the HIGH OUTPUT™ Battery allows users to remove more material on a single pass using any 6” accessory.

This is also a 100% tool-free product. Whether the user is adjusting the guard or replacing accessories, all changes can easily be made without a wrench, utilizing a FIXTEC nut.

Milwaukee® is committed to improving productivity by providing performance-driven and trade-focused solutions so users can perform an entire day’s work on one battery system. The M18 FUEL™ 4-1/2”- 6” Braking Grinders are part of the M18™ System, now offering more than 175 power tool solutions.

* M18 FUEL™ is engineered for the most demanding tradesmen in the world. Delivering unrivaled performance, all M18 FUEL™ products feature three Milwaukee®-exclusive innovations—The POWERSTATE™ Brushless Motor, REDLITHIUM™ Battery Pack and REDLINK PLUS™ Intelligence Hardware and Software—that deliver unmatched power, run-time and durability on the jobsite. Simply put, M18 FUEL™ tools are the most powerful 18V cordless tools in their class.
