Follow up post to my earlier one on the new right angle die grinder. I was excited as myself and others have been talking about it for months, so I wanted to get that out there right away. Here are all 4 of the new models with their respective Max Watts Out rating, they don't list any RPM speeds at the moment:
DCG400 4" Angle Grinder - 755 MWO, 9,000 RPM not variable speed
DCG402 4.5" Angle Grinder - 760 MWO, 9,000 RPM not variable speed
DCG420 - Die Grinder - 450 MWO, 24,500 RPM with variable speed trigger and 4 speed modes
DCG422 - Right Angle Die Grinder - 455 MWO, 24,500 RPM with variable speed trigger and 4 speed modes
All of them feature their ANTI-ROTATION System electronic brake, and the die grinders have LED lights and multiple speeds through button control. I'm hoping they all have variable speed triggers (edit: the die grinders are confirmed to have variable speed triggers, unsure on the angle grinders). They also went with the "pneumatic style" paddle switch on all of them. I would have loved to see the die grinders on 12v, but as we know DeWalt is sorta sunsetting the 12v system. The mini angle grinders are something I never thought I would want, but now I kinda do.
The 1.7Ah PS battery is going to be the battery of choice for the die grinders, and that is what they are kitted with. While the grinders looks like they will get the 3.5Ah PS, which will be cherry on them. The 4Ah PP would also be solid if you don't mind the extra length/width for a bit more runtime.
Here's hoping they are available for the holidays, and maybe even some good deals.
Edit: Pictures didn't load, must be too big or something. Check out all the pics on DeWalt's website.
As a diesel mechanic I use my air die grinder quite often cleaning off gasket surfaces and such things. But the damn thing is just so loud and the air line reduces the mobility of it in smaller spaces. I know Milwaukee makes one but I don’t like mixing power tool brands. Just cause for every different brand you buy you have get new batteries and chargers. I guess there’s probably no chance of it happening until dewalt makes the small batteries that Milwaukee makes but it would be nice to see
