Metabo WP8-115 Quick 10,000 RPM 8.0 AMP 4-1/2-Inch Non-Locking Paddle Switch Angle Grinder

This grinder is well balanced and still has an anti vibration handle that actually works.

Grasp the wheel and turn it a bit counter clockwise and the nut loosens .... then just turn nut by fingers to remove or tighten. After switch off you can also wait till before the wheel stops and press the red orange button. The lock nut will loosen automatically.

Doc, it is nicer to have vs here so you can use it for wire brush at lower speed or even a buffing wheel at speed comfortable and controlable...
I also wanted a grinder before for carving work, but I haven't the chance to get me this....

@jay,

great german tool again! ang laki ng switch for on and off ha! is it a plus?

i only have the bosch variable grinder and yes it is always a hassle changing cutting and abrasive wheels..planning to get another eh..should i get another bosch variable or just a single speed? do you need to have a variable speed when cutting? how about grinding? i bought the variable speed before with the sole intention of using the tool for sanding wood and not on metal use.

thanks

@V I think one variable speed angle grinder is a must ... more is better. Depending on application constant variable speed is a very good feature to have. I just love it for cutting.

For downright grinding I prefer single speed to save on grinder cost. For touch up grinding I prefer variable speed.

I have not tried my angle grinders on wood yet. I do have a variable speed Maxell Angle sander which I use for wood but it does take off material very quickly ... sometimes hard to control as well.

Thanks bro. I can bring the Metabo CS on the next EB if you want to try it. It seems to be a lower rpm CS. I hope Moji chimes in because he's the first one to power it on. None the less will comment again when I have chance to run it on actual cuts.

I'm very careful on hex chucks when it comes to drilling. From what I read these are great for impact drivers but lousy for drilling because of the wobble.They say it's the nature of the beast.

No it did not come with a handle thus the price break. Handles are available in ebay from time to time. Around $12 used and at times even new. Metabo Universal handle and works usually with most Metabo tools.

I think the perception of the CS lower rpm has something to do with the blade size also. No load speed as per specs is 2700 rpm.

Usually I'll make this cut using the table saw but this time I wanted to try the CS.

The CS gets a blade reload.

http://i514.photobucket.com/albums/t347/jzltraco/IMG_5919.jpg

A bit cumbersome to setup because I haven't made a sled for it yet.

http://i514.photobucket.com/albums/t347/jzltraco/IMG_5925.jpg

The saw is more convenient to use than a corded and heavier CS. The rpm is lower but somehow I feel a bit more secured using it. Soft start and very consistent speed under load. Judging from the way the saw uses and conserves power I am inclined to believe that Metabo engineers were maximizing battery use.

Cuts and glides smoothly and the aluminum base is dead on target. Except for an operator error I can confidently comment that the saw passed the audition.

Got no decent camera here JayL. Fwiw, here's the old metabo keyless chuck that came with the old spanish DP.

http://img208.imageshack.us/img208/4609/dsc00214cw.jpg
Sorry it's in an undignified state (will adress that right away) but the jaws aren't mangled, and grips real well. (This and the rohm leaves 3 sharp marks on shanks if one drills w/o any finesse i.e. no pilot holes, bearing down on the DP handle that the v-belt even slips. It's the nature of keyless- self tightens, grips more if the bit encounters resistance.) There's nothing wrong with it (aesthetics maybe,) it's been put to use in a school shop before i was born and it should still be working great after i'm no longer the owner. I think it suffered more for lack of use than work, getting rust on the shell.

The rohm has a nice black oxide finish, resistant but not impervous to the red rust. The old american jacobs on the right i couldn't use, later found out that a 5/8 X 16 thread is obsolete and couldn't find an arbor for it so easily >_<.

18V 6 1/2" Circular Saw .... will be used for cutting metals and wood

JayL, what does the manual say about using this saw to cut metal? Is it specifically allowed? recommended against? silent?

Unlike Makita or Bosch, I could not find the Metabo manual online, or any manufacturer description that sheds light on this. Only clue appears to be that the no-load speed is 2700/min, which is less than the cordless Bosch (3900/min), the cordless Makita (3700/min), and even the corded Evolution (3500/min, though 7.25").

However, I do not know 1) what the maximum speed is for a circular saw to be considered low enough for cutting metal; and 2) whether there are other design features besides speed that determine whether a saw can be used for metal. The Bosch wording below suggests that there are.

In comparison, the cordless Bosch manual says: "This tool is not recommended for usage with metal or masonry cut-off wheels. Do not cut metal or masonry with this circular saw. The dust from metal or masonry cutting will cause the lower guard to become sluggish and may not close fully and quickly after cutting these materials." (Emphasis in the manual.)

IIRC, the corded Bosch 7.25" has a similar warning.

The cordless Makita manual is silent on metal cutting.

Can you confirm that the cordless Metabo is designed to cut both wood and ferrous metal/mild steel. If so, that would seem to be a notable advantange over the competition.

JayL

11-28-2011, 08:55 PM

@ Guad

When I was looking for a new circular saw I had several criteria.

1. It must be able to cut Mild Steel Sheets 18 gauge up to 1/8" thick. I must be able to buy mild steel sheets and cut this as if I am cutting plywood.

2. It must be light weight and portable. i.e. I should be able to bring it to the metal store where I can cut my purchases according to my needs and to fit my vehicle if necessary.

3. It should be able to cut wood too.

4. Battery performance should be good enough to make the tool "really " useful.

The choice of blades was a no brainer. I had my mind set on Freud even before I searched for a CS.

I checked other brands but then I stumbled into this Metabo Cordless. All my criteria were met except for one shady portion. Criteria 1.

This machine is suitable for sawing wood , plastics and other similar materials. The user bears sole responsibility for damage caused by improper use.

Abrasive blade is a big No No in the manual.

My interpretation is that it will cut metal but if something happens then I am on my own. I studied the saw. It's mostlyl aluminum. It has a dust port which I can redirect in case there are some sparks. The rpm is lower ... more torque then means better for metal cutting. In view of this I pulled the trigger.

A few days ago I built a temporary sled for the CS from scrap wood.

http://i514.photobucket.com/albums/t347/jzltraco/Pinoy%20Handyman/IMG_6027.jpg

I'm just observing the saw now. I knew I have other options but held back until I am satisfied with the saw's performance. I could have gotten an optional track for it but did not.

14 gauge sheets are not a difficult cut. Will I cut up to 1/8" plate? Yes I will. It's what I need the saw for. If something happens to it or if the tool does not last long as it should then I know I've been warned by Metabo.

The saw is equipped with electronic overload protection. Standard on most if not all Metabo Tools. If the blade binds then it switches off automatically. Warning beeps stop after 30 seconds or when the trigger is released.

I seldom fire the electric grinders now a days for quickie quickie jobs. Usually the 2 batteries I have are enough. More often than not the other one is already fully charged even before I run out of juice.

Grinding Disc .... I just wished the grinder has the Quick Change option ... more convenient but not a deal breaker.

These high capacity Metabo batteries are really great ... is it just me or what ... I feel they become better after the initial charges. I don't know if LiON batteries have break in periods.

I don't think 'and other similar materials' usually extends to ferrous metal :) ... but your guess is as good as mine. Will report back if I find anything more definite.

The lower speed and dust port do seem to set the saw apart from other brands.

I noticed pag Freud metal blade baliktad lagi. The name is on the other side. Same with CS and dry cut saw.

I think what you mean is not that the Freud (or any) metal blade is different from wood blade, but that the saws are different. For both kinds of blade, when facing the label side, the rotation direction is the same, counter clockwise. But corded saws are 'right-handed' (or whatever the correct term is) whereas cordless are 'left-handed' for some reason.

Why are cordless saws and tile/fiber cement saws (like the Makita and Metabo ones (http://pinoyhandyman.com/showthread.php?t=1465&page=2)) designed with a different handedness than corded circular saws, anyone know?

It seems that taper mounted chucks are more preferred, i dunno why, but it is so than threaded. The other part which goes to the dp or lathe is often morse taper 2. (I cruised before at owwm and a couple of machinist forums.) Also, i was never able to successfully removed the arbor from the chuck once inserted as if it was married/welded on.

Albrecht is the most expensive brand, rohm and bison are seen as dependable users, while jacobs has good to REALLY good stuff like the ball bearing 16N.

As long as it's keyless, has 1/32"-1/2" capacity or maybe 1/16"-5/8" capacity it's going to be great.

Wire wheel and brush consumables choosing is around 60% about balance during rotation ... some of the best available are made by Metabo.
