New Large Angle Grinders Reduce Vibration By 60% - 2/28/2005 - Real Estate Products Services

New Large Angle Grinders Reduce Vibration By 60%

The new heavy duty and versatile 1800 series 7- and 9 -inch large angle grinders and sanders from Bosch Power Tools and Accessories cut vibration by 60% to help prevent Reynards Syndrome, also known as White Finger Disease, which includes hand and finger tingling or numbness; blood flow constriction resulting in blanching or whiteness of the hands and fingers; and loss of grip strength.

For contractors, metal workers and others, these tools are designed to last in weld prep, clean-up and various cut-off and surface preparation applications, says Bosch.

Robert Bosch Tool Corporation is a member of the National Council of the Housing Industry — the Supplier 100 of NAHB.

Bosch’s innovative vibration-reduction system incorporates special vibration rings into its three position side-assist handle and between the main trigger handle and grinder motor housing.

 
Six models complete the Bosch grinder line, which has been designed to meet and exceed the needs of professionals in the metal and concrete construction industries, according to the manufacturer.

The model 1873-8 is Bosch’s first 7-inch 8,500 RPM and 3-HP large angle grinder to be offered in North America. The grinder’s speed optimizes the removal rate of any 7-inch wheel accessory, the manufacturer says.

The 1873-6 is a 3-HP 7-inch 6,000 RPM grinder, an industry standard. For those looking for larger diameter wheels, both the 1893-6 and 1894-6 tools offer 9-inch wheels. The former, at 6,000 RPM and 3-HP offers the best power-to-weight ratio available, while the latter is the champ at 4.5-HP and barely over 13-pounds. The 1894-6’s rotating D-handle gives users the ability to position the handle for optimal comfort and control in any job.

Rounding out the line are 7- and 9-inch large angle sanders — 1853-5 and 1853-6, at 5,000 and 6,000 RPM, respectively.

Across the line, enhancements in usability and durability include the addition of a tool-free adjustable guard and a metal gear cover for working in the most demanding applications, Broan says. Epoxy coated field windings provide the ultimate protection against abrasive dust and debris while precision spiral bevel gears offer quality engineering and construction for smooth power transmission. Each unit is also AC/DC compatible for use with welders or generators.
