Milwaukee® Provides Improved Performance with Second Generation Die Grinders
MILWAUKEE, WI – (Trailer Technician) Milwaukee Tool unveils the next generation in cordless die grinding with the new M18 FUEL™ Variable Speed Braking Die Grinder, Paddle Switch w/ ONE-KEY™ and M18 FUEL™ Braking Die Grinder, Slide Switch. Delivering the next advancement in power, performance, and versatility, these new die grinders feature enhanced safety, precision, and control. Providing 11A corded performance without the frustrations of hoses, cords, and compressors, they are designed to help cut the cord of AC and pneumatic die grinding to drive more productivity.
“When faced with a situation that requires grinding in tight spaces or irregular surfaces, mechanical and metal fabrication professionals will most often turn to a die grinder to get the job done.” said Brian Alves, Director of Product Management at Milwaukee Tool. “We are committed to providing users dedicated solutions for each application. These new die grinders round out Milwaukee’s grinder offering and are a great addition to our current grinding options for those harder-to-reach applications.”
Both new die grinders feature RAPIDSTOP™ Brake for enhanced user safety, stopping most accessories in less than two seconds. Combining three exclusive innovations – the POWERSTATE™ brushless motor, REDLITHIUM™ battery pack, and REDLINK PLUS™ intelligence- these new die grinders provide users with the versatility and performance needed to remove material faster than a corded die grinder.
