Compare DeWALT DCG406N and DCG405N
Both models, DeWALT DCG406N and DeWALT DCG405N, are angle grinders with 800 W of power and a maximum speed of 9000 RPM. They have the same maximum disc diameter of 125 mm and are equipped with a brushless motor, motor brake, and safety clutch. However, the DCG406N offers soft start and anti-restart protection, which the DCG405N does not have. In terms of accessories, the DCG406N comes without any, whereas the DCG405N also lacks a case, which might be important for users looking for convenient storage. The noise level of the DCG405N is 96 dB, whereas the DCG406N is 95 dB. Both devices are compatible with DeWALT 18V XR batteries.

Glossary

Soft start

Soft start ensures a smooth motor acceleration of the grinder with relatively low acceleration. This is achieved by limiting the start-up current. Soft start performs two functions: it prevents sudden jerks of the tool, reducing the risk of dropping it, and also decreases the load on the electrical network, helping to avoid significant voltage spikes.

Safety lock-off

The ability to lock the power button prevents accidental presses. Accidental Activation Protection allows safely transporting the switched-off tool from place to place during work breaks without fear of unintentionally turning it on. This feature is also handy when there are small children around. In some models, protection can also be activated when the power is cut off (for example, network failures) — thanks to this, when the power is restored (which can occur at the most unexpected moment), the tool will not start operating without a user command.

Noise level

Approximate noise level generated by the grinder during operation. Note that this indicator is quite approximate, because. actual "loudness" can vary markedly depending on the type and shape of the material being processed, the surface it is placed on, and other circumstances. In addition, different manufacturers may use different measurement methods. Nevertheless, this indicator makes it possible to assess how comfortable this or that model is in operation and whether special hearing protection is required.

The most “quiet” modern grinders give out about 65 dB — this is comparable to loud speech at a distance of 1 m; in the loudest, the noise level reaches 107 dB — this is the volume of an industrial workshop.
