The 20V MAX XR Angle Grinder features a brake, E-Clutch System, and Kickback Brake. When the trigger is released, the brake quickly brings the wheel to a stop in two seconds or less. The E-Clutch System automatically shuts down the motor when a wheel pinch is detected. The Kickback Brake incorporates both of these features, activating in the event that a pinch or stall occurs, engaging the brake at maximum force and shutting the tool down effectively reducing the force towards the user.
Additionally, the grinder features a One-Touch Guard, which allows single-action adjustments to change guard position. The grinder also comes with two removable mesh screens that help to block debris from entering the tool during use. Finally, the grinder features an on/off trigger switch that has a no-volt release function, to stop accidental turn-on. In the event of a power outage or other unexpected shut down, the trigger switch will need to be turned off and then on to restart tool. In addition to the DCG413R2, there is also a flathead version, which offers similar features to the unit above, but incorporates a thin gear case that allows users to grinder in tighter spaces.
Each of the tools mentioned above is part of the DEWALT PERFORM AND PROTECT line of tools designed to provide a high level of one or more of the following: control, dust containment or low vibration, without sacrificing performance.
The new 20V MAX XR Variable Speed Die Grinder features a three-speed selector switch allowing users to choose 0-10,000 RPM, 0-17,500 RPM, and 0-25,000 RPM. Each speed selection starts with zero as the unit also has a variable speed rocker switch that allows the user to control speed within those ranges based on the pressure applied to the selector. The unit also has three LED light ring that helps to illuminate the work surface during use.
