The 6151 4-1/2 inch 8.5 amp grinder incorporates all of the same great features as the 6148-6 with the exception of the lock-on continuous use feature. Its low profile and light weight make it perfect for those medium duty sanding and grinding projects. An integrated lock-off button is featured in the paddle switch. The tool is double insulated (two prong cord) and incorporates the industry standard 5/8-11 threaded arbor. Like its heavy duty big brothers, it also has spiral bevel gears for optimum transmission of torque to the work piece. The comfortable body grip style is easy to hold onto, and in conjunction with the supplied side handle, allows for maximum operator control. The side handle can be attached in three locations. The wheel guard can be moved around the spindle (without the use of tools) for greatest operator protection. Sold as a grinder with guard, this tool can be used as a sander when a 4-1/2 inch backing pad and disc are attached.
