M18 FUEL™ 4-1/2" / 5" Braking Grinder Paddle Switch, No-Lock Kit

The Milwaukee M18 FUEL 4-1/2" / 5" Braking Grinder (model 2880-22) is a cordless angle grinder kit built on the M18 battery system, pairing a POWERSTATE brushless motor with a RAPID STOP brake that stops accessories in 2 seconds or less. Because this is a Kit, it ships with an M18 REDLITHIUM HIGH OUTPUT XC6.0 (6.0Ah) battery and charger — no separate battery purchase needed to get running.

What it does well

• POWERSTATE brushless motor spins to 8,500 RPM and delivers the equivalent of 11A corded power for demanding grinding and cutting.
• RAPID STOP brake halts the wheel in 2 seconds or less, and an electronic clutch adds kickback protection.
• Paddle switch with no-lock design plus an anti-vibration side handle for control across working positions.
• Tool-free guard adjustment and a 5/8"-11 spindle for fast changes with common grinding accessories.

Is this the right grinder for you?

This is a good fit for pros already on the M18 platform who want a full-size 4-1/2" to 5" grinder without a cord, and who value the added safety of a brake and no-lock paddle switch. If you need lock-on operation for extended runs, look at a different switch configuration; otherwise the included HIGH OUTPUT battery and charger make this a ready-to-work kit.
