Works nicely, seems well-built. I would have liked clearer instructions about the rpm adjustments (some discs require higher rpms, some less). I've used one other brand of angle grinder, and this is far superior.
We already bought more than 10 of these grinders and they are the best value for the $$$ you pay.Previoulsly used Metabo, Makita, DeWalt but none can compare with Bosch.Highly recomend it.
I bought this grinder to deal with an immediate problem but soon found it to be frequently useful. I purchased it after reading several reviews on this site and others, and I am very pleased with the results.This machine has a small but powerful motor that doesn't yield to pressure, and yet it's light-weight and easy to handle and control. Changing grinding wheels or brushes is a snap, and the power switch is conveniently positioned for control and safety.I have used it on plastics, metals and wood, and it performed superbly in every instance.
I have been using this for about a month now and the power and comfort is great. The design of the switch realy lets you get into the project without the arm fatigue. Power wise, I have tried to bog it down can't do it. I have used nothing but Bosch tools and will continue using them.
I don't know what the life span of these are IF they are treated nice but in the shop we get about a year of abuse out of them before the bearings start to make noise and it starts to shake in your hands and eventually just locks up. We have 5 of these in the shop and they are very good grinder. Make no mistake though we are hard on them. They can take the abuse of running for hours. The paddle switch is nice in case it binds into a corner or trys to kick back at you.It is comfortable to hold on to for a while. They get dropped, soaked with machine coolant and we weld by them. If I didn't already have a grinder I would buy this Bosch.
