DEWALT D28499X 7-Inch/9-Inch 5.3-Horsepower Large Angle Grinder

Cheap DEWALT D28499X 7-Inch/9-Inch 5.3-Horsepower Large Angle Grinder Review

I used an old Skil saw to cut brick and block, but after finally melting the internals beyond repair I was forced to look for an alternative.

I chose this machine based on the flexability of the 7" and 9" guards that come standard.

The machine has plenty of power cutting red bricks with far more ease than a Makita chop saw.

I love the ability to rotate the main/rear grip - it makes this grinder far more versatile and comfortable than other I have used in the past.

The only downside to this grinder is the optional 7" cutting wheel guard is pricey.
