Milwaukee 2888-20 M18 FUEL™ 4-1/2" / 5" Variable Speed Braking Angle Grinder

Power to Grind. Precision to Finish.

The Milwaukee 2888-20 M18 FUEL™ 4-1/2" / 5" Variable Speed Braking Grinder is the industry’s most versatile cordless grinder. Delivering the power of an 11-amp corded grinder, this tool is powered by the POWERSTATE™ Brushless Motor, providing 8,500 RPM to tackle the toughest grinding and cutting applications. Unlike standard grinders, the 2888-20 features a 5-step variable speed dial (3,500 – 8,500 RPM), allowing you to slow the tool down for stainless steel finishing, paint removal, and polishing without overheating the workpiece.

Safety is paramount on the modern jobsite, and the 2888-20 delivers with an integrated RAPID STOP™ Brake, which stops most wheels in under 2 seconds. The Paddle Switch design ensures the tool shuts off immediately if dropped, while REDLINK PLUS™ Intelligence protects the motor from overload during high-torque stalls. This is the ultimate "one-tool" solution for welders, fabricators, and mechanical contractors.
