Todd the Tinkerer Posted January 7, 2017 Report Share Posted January 7, 2017 Out of curiosity has anyone had a chance to try the new kobalt 24v angle grinder that came out recently? I was curious about it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Obvious Posted January 7, 2017 Report Share Posted January 7, 2017 All I have is a corded Genesis angle grinder I picked up from Sutherlands. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggie Posted January 7, 2017 Report Share Posted January 7, 2017 My personal collection -flexvolt 60v dcg414 -m18 fuel 2780 -m18 2680 -bosch 18v CAG180 My construction company Cordless -m18 fuel 2780 -m18 2680 3 -20v dewalt dcg414 2-18v dewalt dc411 Corded - milwaukee 11 amp 4.5in. 6146 2- dewalt 13 amp 4.5in. d28114 - dewalt 15 amp 7in./9in. Not sure what model, just know you better be hanging on tight. Next on the list is metabo being that they're supposed to be the grinders to have, but we use the corded models less and less and it's another battery platform to have to get into. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildroamer Posted January 8, 2017 Report Share Posted January 8, 2017 If you decide to make the leap, you won't be disappointed. The Metabo battery tech is very impressive. Charging the 6.2 on its air cooled charger, battery doesn't warm up even the slightest bit. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like you said you can get a good finish out of a flap disk especially if you are making a metal sculpture and just want some texture. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kato Posted January 8, 2017 Report Share Posted January 8, 2017 I love a new flap disc in the morning...smells like...victory. Admit it, you guys put a new disc on the grinder and stand there for a few minutes, looking for anything in sight to grind the shit out of. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that grinding wheels remove more but just my 2¢ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to normalize it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
