Bosch GWX18V-50PCN 18V Max EC Brushless 5-Inch X-LOCK Angle Grinder Bare Tool
The Bosch GWX18V-50PCN 18V Max Cordless 5-Inch Angle Grinder is a heavy-duty metalworking tool engineered for high-speed weld grinding, structural steel rebar cutting, and masonry surface preparation. Driven by an EC Brushless motor, this cordless unit incorporates the keyless X-LOCK mount mechanism allowing wheel changes up to five times faster than traditional spanner wrench systems. Equipped with an emergency non-locking paddle switch, X-Brake safety stopping, sensor-based Drop Control, and KickBack Protection electronics, this connected-ready angle grinder maintains operational control during demanding structural fabrication tasks.
**Battery and charger sold separately.
Best Used For:
- Structural Steel & Rebar Cutting: Slicing through thick steel angle iron, structural rebar, and conduit tubing on commercial building sites.
- Weld Seam Grinding & Beveling: Smoothing thick metal weld beads, cleaning slag, and beveling heavy plate edges prior to welding.
- Concrete & Masonry Tuckpointing: Slotting concrete block joints, tile cutting, and scoring masonry using continuous-rim diamond blades.
Key Performance & Safety Features
- X-LOCK Keyless Mount Mechanism: Click-on wheel mount and lever release system allows instant tool-free accessory swaps without spanner wrenches.
- EC Brushless Motor Efficiency: High-efficiency motor delivers corded-equivalent power output and maximizes battery runtime under heavy load.
- X-Brake Rapid Stopping System: Electronic braking rapidly stops wheel rotation within seconds of releasing the paddle switch.
- Sensor-Based Drop Control: Integrated sensor shuts off electrical power immediately if the tool is accidentally dropped onto the floor.
- KickBack & Restart Protection: Acceleration sensors shut down the motor during severe wheel bind-up and prevent accidental restarts after battery swaps.
- Vibration Control Auxiliary Handle: Two-position side handle dampens hand-arm vibration during continuous heavy grinding applications.
