The Metabo HPT WEV 17-125 Quick Inox 5 in. 14.5 Amp Variable Speed Angle Grinder is engineered and manufactured in Germany for high-torque industrial grinding, cutting, beveling, deburring, brushing, finishing, and polishing applications. Optimized for specialty materials such as stainless steel, this grinder pairs a 14.5 Amp AC LongLife motor with specialized high-torque gearing and an adjustable speed range of 2,000 to 7,600 RPM to prevent overheating and discoloration on heat-sensitive metals.

Integrated Vario-Tacho-Constamatic (VTC) full-wave electronics maintain constant wheel speed under load, ensuring consistent material removal rates and uniform surface finishes. For motor longevity in harsh environments, the motor architecture features epoxy-coated copper windings, an unobstructed rear air intake, and optimized internal airflow to dissipate heat and protect against abrasive dust. Operational safety and productivity are supported by the S-Automatic mechanical safety slip clutch to reduce kickback during wheel jams, an M-Quick system for tool-free disc changes, and a Metabo VibraTech (MVT) anti-vibration side handle that reduces vibration transfer by up to 60%.

Features & Benefits

• High-Torque Gearing: Delivers high torque at lower operating speeds to prevent burning or bluing on stainless steel and heat-sensitive alloys.
• 14.5 Amp LongLife Motor: Provides up to 20% higher overload capacity and maximum torque for demanding metalworking jobs.
• VTC Full-Wave Electronics: Maintains constant rotational speed under load and enables precise thumbwheel speed adjustments from 2,000 to 7,600 RPM.
• M-Quick Toolless Wheel Change: Allows fast disc changes at the touch of the spindle lock button without requiring wrenches.
• S-Automatic Mechanical Safety Clutch: Decouples the drive if an accessory jams, minimizing kickback to help the user retain control.
• Metabo VibraTech (MVT) Side Handle: Designed with a bulb-shaped grip and a 15-degree offset to reduce vibration transfer by up to 60%.
• 7-Position Toolless Guard: Delivers burst-proof spark protection with fast, tool-free position adjustments.
• Advanced Dust Protection: Epoxy-coated windings and optimized air circulation safeguard internal motor components from metallic grit.
• Soft Start & Overload Protection: Smooths power delivery during startup and prevents thermal damage during sustained high-load grinding.
• Lock-On Slide Switch: Holds the power state for comfortable continuous operation during long finishing passes.
