Cut Off Tool (DCS438) at Fabtech 2021 Conference. These new product offerings provide professionals the tools they need to get the job done.

60V MAX* Brushless Cordless 7-In. FlexVolt Grinder with Kickback Brake

Designed to power through heavy-duty grinding jobs with ease, the new 60V MAX* Brushless Cordless 7-In. FlexVolt Grinder with Kickback Brake delivers 30 percent more torque than the DCG418 60V MAX* FlexVolt Grinder** and up to 2,300 max watts output. Featuring up to a 7-in. grinding capacity and a no-load speed of 6,500 RPM, the grinder is ideal for wire brushing as well as general grinding and cutting during metal and concrete applications.

Built with user protection top of mind, the grinder is part of the Dewalt Perform & Protect line of tools and features the E-Clutch System as well as a Kickback Brake. Perform & Protect tools are designed to provide a high level of one or more of the following: control, dust containment or low vibration, without sacrificing performance. The brake brings the wheel to a halt once you release the trigger. However, the E-Clutch System immediately shuts down the motor when it detects either a pinch or stall. The Kickback Brake incorporates both of these features. This is activated in the event that a pinch or stall occurs, engaging the brake at maximum force and shutting the tool down; effectively reducing the force towards the user.

The new 20V Max* XR Dewalt Brushless 3-in. Cut Off Tool is designed to cut a variety of materials such as metal, drywall, fiber cement, plastic, tile and stone.
