DEWALT Angle Grinder Review

The DEWALT DWE4559CN Angle Grinder is perfect for heavy-duty material removal tasks, with a high-powered 4.7 HP motor and 6,500 rpm operating speed. This angle grinder features a Gear case grip for pipeliners, allowing the gear case of the metal grinder to be gripped as a handle, as well as an Anti-vibe trigger handle that reduces user fatigue caused by vibration. It also has a low-profile gearcase that allows for work in tight areas, and an automatic turn-off feature to shut down the tool when brushes need to be changed to avoid tool damage.

Another standout feature of the DEWALT DWE4559CN Angle Grinder is its Dust Ejection System, which prevents harmful dirt from entering the motor of the grinder tool. This feature increases brush life and protects the motor from damaging particles entering the air intake that would otherwise abrade the motor, making it a vital component of any heavy grinding or smoothing project.

However, some reviewers have noted some drawbacks to this angle grinder. Some have reported that the unit was missing critical parts such as the disc sleeve and tightening nut, as well as the wrench, rendering the grinder useless until replacement parts can be acquired. Additionally, some customers have had problems locating the specific type 27 guard required to attach a cutting wheel to the grinder, making it more difficult to accomplish heavy-duty cutting tasks. Despite these issues, the DEWALT DWE4559CN Angle Grinder remains a popular tool for contractors and DIY enthusiasts alike.
