The DeWALT FlexVOLT 60V MAX 4-1/2 in. - 6 in. Cordless Grinder with Kickback Brake Kit (DCG418X2) delivers serious cordless cutting and grinding performance for demanding jobsite applications. Engineered with up to 30% more power than the DCG414 60V MAX Grinder, this brushless cordless angle grinder produces 2300 max watts out - equivalent to a 13 Amp corded motor - giving tradespeople and contractors the freedom of battery-powered operation without sacrificing the muscle needed for heavy material removal, surface prep, and metal grinding tasks. Part of the PERFORM and PROTECT product line, this grinder pairs raw power with active safety systems to keep operators in control on every cut.

Key Features

• Up to 30% more power than the DCG414 60V MAX Grinder with 2300 max watts out - delivers significantly greater cutting and grinding capacity, letting you work faster through thick metal, masonry, and other tough materials without bogging down.
• 13 Amp motor equivalent power - matches the performance of a full-size corded grinder while running entirely on battery, eliminating cord management and allowing use in locations without power outlets.
• 9000 RPM no-load speed - optimized for 6 in. grinder wheel applications, generating the surface speed needed for aggressive material removal and smooth finishing across a wide range of abrasive wheels.
• Kickback Brake safety system - actively detects and responds to dangerous kickback events, engaging the brake to help protect the operator from loss-of-control situations during grinding or cutting.
• Anti-Rotation E-CLUTCH System - provides an additional layer of protection by limiting rotation in the event of a wheel bind, reducing the risk of injury and tool damage on difficult cuts.
• Brake engages when trigger is released with a stopping time of 1.5 seconds (when using a standard 4-1/2 in. x 1/4 in. bonded abrasive wheel, non-hubbed) - means the wheel stops almost immediately after you let go, reducing the window for accidental contact injuries between cuts.
• Compatible with both 4-1/2 in. and 6 in. wheel sizes - gives you versatility across a broader range of grinding, cutting, and surface preparation tasks with a single tool.
• Includes 2x DCB609 FlexVOLT 9.0Ah batteries - provides extended run time per charge so you can complete longer tasks without stopping to swap batteries, maximizing on-the-job productivity.

Why This Product

• For professionals who need corded-grinder power without being tethered to an outlet, the 2300 max watts out and 13 Amp motor equivalent output make this cordless grinder a legitimate replacement for plug-in models on most jobsite grinding and cutting tasks.
• The combination of Kickback Brake and Anti-Rotation E-CLUTCH addresses two of the most common causes of angle grinder injuries - uncontrolled kickback and wheel bind - making this tool a strong choice for safety-conscious work environments and applications involving aggressive cuts.
• Accepting both 4-1/2 in. and 6 in. guard and wheel configurations, this grinder handles a wide range of abrasive wheel tasks from a single platform, reducing the need to own multiple tools for different disc sizes.
• Bundled with two high-capacity 9.0Ah FlexVOLT batteries and a charger in a kit bag, this package gives you everything needed to go to work immediately - no additional battery purchases required to get started.
