The first large WEPBA grinder for no compromises on safety!
Nearly one fourth (24,6%) of all accidents with power tools in 2016 in Germany have been caused by an angle grinder.* This figure shows the importance of the topic user protection in the field of angle grinders.
In metal trade and industry angle grinders of Metabo are known to be trend-setters in safety solutions, but a large angle grinder with brake was missing in the portfolio. This gap is now closed with Metabo offering a machine that is best in class in weight and durability.
The new WEPBA is available with 2.400 W or 2.600 W and with 180mm (only 2.400 W) or 230mm disc diameter. Besides the brake the machine includes several other interesting features.

and deadman’s switch: disc stop in 2.5 seconds after releasing
