A new versatile, variable speed 3in die grinder that offers a torque three times higher (27 inch lb.) than similar units, making it ideal for grinding internal surfaces in polishing and finishing applications, has been introduced by Metabo. The new GE900 Plus is geared to run at a lower rpm range than similar grinders, which increases the number and type of usable accessories for sanding, polishing or buffing, such as flap wheels and non-woven abrasive finishing wheels. The new grinder is designed for ease-of-use, featuring a side handle for increased user control and a spindle lock-one wrench feature that enables users to change accessories using only one wrench instead of two.

The switch is ergonomically located on the top of the tool, making it easy to operate with either the right or left hand.

Metabo's Vario-Constamatic (VC) full-wave electronic speed control allows users to vary speed to accommodate a variety of accessories, making the GE900 Plus useful for grinding and cutting a wide range of materials, from hard to soft, including plastic.

The GE900 Plus has a hardened and ground 1/4in collet for accurate balance of fitted attachments, and auto-stop carbon brushes that increase brush life while preventing motor damage that can be caused by worn brushes.

The grinder has a no-load speed of 2,500 - 6,000 rpm and is rated at 7.5 amps, 900 watts.

A collet wrench, spindle wrench, the 1/4in collet, and the side handle are all offered as standard with the GE900 Plus.
