High-Performance 5-Inch Grinding Solution

The Metabo WE 17-125 Quick RT 5" Angle Grinder (SKU: 601086420) is engineered for industrial environments requiring maximum productivity and longevity. This tool distinguishes itself with a high power-to-weight ratio, delivering the performance of a large grinder in a compact, ergonomic frame. At the heart of the machine is the Metabo LongLife Motor, which features an advanced cooling system and optimized carbon brush geometry, effectively doubling the service life compared to standard motors. With a robust 14.6 Amp rating and 1700 Watts of input power (1030 Watts output), this grinder maintains high torque levels of 34 in-lbs, ensuring consistent material removal even under heavy load.

Technological precision is a hallmark of the WE 17-125 Quick RT. It utilizes Tacho-Constamatic (TC) Full Wave Electronics to monitor and adjust power delivery, ensuring that the 10,000 RPM no-load speed remains constant during operation. This feature is critical for achieving uniform finishes and rapid work progress. The unit also incorporates the innovative M-Quick System, allowing operators to change discs tool-free at the simple push of a button, significantly reducing downtime between accessory changes. The gear housing is designed for versatility, capable of being rotated in 90-degree steps to accommodate left-handed users or specific cutting orientations.

Safety and durability are paramount in the design. The Metabo S-automatic Torque Limiting Clutch provides mechanical decoupling of the drive if the disc jams, minimizing kickback to the lowest level in the market for superior user protection. Additionally, the tool features electronic soft start for smooth startups and restart protection to prevent accidental activation after power interruptions. The auto-stop carbon brushes protect the motor from damage when worn, further extending the tool's operational life. Weighing in at 2.72 kg with a slim grip area, it offers excellent control for overhead work and prolonged use.
