The DEWALT DWE4214 4-1/2-inch angle grinder is built for fast material removal and extended tool life. Its 11-Amp motor spins at 11,000 RPM, and the Quick-Change wheel release lets you swap wheels without a wrench.
DEWALT DWE4214 Angle Grinder: Quick-Change Wheel Release and One-Touch Guard
Changing a grinding wheel on most grinders requires a spindle wrench. The DWE4214 eliminates that step: press the spindle lock, flip the Quick-Change lever, and the wheel comes off. The One-Touch guard rotates 360 degrees with a single action, so you can reposition it on the fly.
Dust Ejection System and Comfort
Damaging dust and debris are forced out through the air vents instead of building up inside. The low-profile gear case gets into tight spaces, and the lock-on slide switch keeps the grinder running comfortably during long jobs.

Good for the price
Used it for cutting tile and metal. The slide switch is convenient and the dust ejection helps. No complaints.

Everyday tool
I do metal fabrication and this grinder is my everyday tool. The 11 amp motor doesn't bog down on 1/4 inch steel. The one-touch guard makes adjustments quick. Changing wheels is a snap with the quick release. The only downside is the spindle lock button is a bit stiff. Overall, excellent value.

Great starter
My dad got this for me. It cuts through rebar easily. I'm a newbie but it feels safe with the slide switch.
