Description

Milwaukee 2486-20 M12 FUEL™ Straight Die Grinder

Cut the Hose. Keep the Power.

The Milwaukee 2486-20 M12 FUEL™ 1/4" Straight Die Grinder is the first cordless solution that delivers the performance and size professional service technicians demand. Delivering 0.3 HP output, this compact powerhouse matches the performance of traditional air-powered die grinders while providing 20% more power than leading pneumatic competitors. It eliminates the daily frustrations of air hose maintenance, compressor noise, and the lack of mobility in the shop.

Engineered for maximum control and versatility, the 2486-20 features a 3-Mode Speed Control and a responsive variable speed trigger. This allows you to match the RPM to your specific application—whether you are using carbide burrs for porting, abrasive stones for grinding, or flap wheels for surface prep. Powered by the POWERSTATE™ Brushless Motor, this tool provides consistent torque under heavy load and fits easily into tight engine bays or wheel wells.

Why the Milwaukee M12 FUEL™ Straight Die Grinder is a Shop Essential:

  • 0.3 HP Pneumatic Performance: Delivers the torque and speed of an air tool with the freedom of the M12™ cordless system.
  • 3-Mode Speed Control: Offers specialized RPM settings (10,000 / 15,000 / 21,000) for ultimate application versatility.
  • Compact 11-Inch Design: Allows for superior accessibility in confined spaces where larger tools or air hoses can't reach.
  • POWERSTATE™ Brushless Motor: Provides more power and significantly longer motor life while maintaining speed under heavy load.
  • REDLINK PLUS™ Intelligence: Advanced electronics prevent damage to the tool and battery from overloading or overheating.

Frequently Asked Questions

+ Can this really replace my air die grinder?
Yes. The 2486-20 is specifically designed to provide the 0.3 HP performance and 21,000 RPM needed for professional metalwork. It delivers the same power as most pneumatic grinders without the noise and restriction of a hose.
+ Which battery provides the best performance?
For the best balance of power and runtime, we recommend the M12™ REDLITHIUM™ HIGH OUTPUT™ CP 2.5 or the XC 5.0. These batteries provide the high current needed to maintain peak torque under heavy grinding.
+ Does it come with the wrenches for bit changes?
Yes. The bare tool includes the necessary wrenches to securely tighten and loosen the 1/4" collet for all your standard shank accessories.
+ What is the benefit of the 3-Mode Speed Control?
The mode control allows you to limit the maximum RPM to prevent burning materials or wearing out accessories too quickly. Mode 1 (10,000 RPM) is ideal for delicate surface conditioning, while Mode 3 (21,000 RPM) is best for heavy grinding.
