Industrial tool for cutting and grinding metal and stone

At first glance, the DeWALT DWE490 grinder seems very simple. It doesn’t even have rubber grips on the handle, and the body looks almost “bare”, which is why the instrument does not even fit into the traditional notion that DeWALT products must be black and yellow. The manufacturer deliberately abandoned overlays and electronic "gadgets" in order to make this angle grinder as accessible as possible to a wide range of potential buyers - professionals in the field of construction, metalworking and other specialists who use angle grinders with large 230 mm circles for processing metal, concrete, stone or other materials.

Advantages and disadvantages

A motor is “hidden” inside the case, the power of which (2000 W) is the “minimum threshold” for working with cutting and abrasive discs with a diameter of 230 mm (it should be noted that the range of DeWALT angle grinders has exactly the same design, but a more powerful model - DeWALT DWE492 with 2200W motor). A bevel gear is attached to the motor, “packed” in an aluminium alloy case. The quality of the workmanship of the parts does not cause the slightest criticism. Therefore, the tool runs smoothly, without beats and vibrations, and tolerates heavy loads well. The only thing we didn't like was the configuration of the controls. The fact is that protection against accidental activation is implemented in the form of a key, which is located in an unconventional place - on top of the case, and not under the handle, as usual. Therefore, for those who are used to working with angle grinders of other brands and models, it may be inconvenient to press the start button.

Tool for professionals

The grinder DeWALT DWE490 has a reputation as an “indestructible” tool that endures all the hardships and hardships associated with working on a construction site or in a metalworking workshop. It can work for hours without interruption and does not overheat during prolonged use. It can be actively used for cutting and grinding metal, processing natural stone and granite, or performing other tasks that require power, endurance and the ability to work with heavy loads. Naturally, in order for the tool to fully reveal its potential in your hands, you should use high-quality branded discs.
