Bosch Professional 0601790270 230 V 9-115 P GWS - Blue

I like this grinder. I have a bucketful of cheap angle grinders so that I dont have to keep swapping tools, but an incident with a cup brush and my stomach/tshirt made me take note of the fact that many of my grinders have latching on/off switches. If a grinder escapes your grip, they are too exciting if the switch is latched in the on position. They can leap around like an old jumping jack firework until they get something or you dare unplug it. This one has a nice long non-latching switch, that you tend to switch on just by gripping the grinder. Let go and the switch returns to the off position leaving only inertia to deal with if dropped. The motor seems very smooth, and the gearbox also. After half a day of near continuous sanding, the motor and gearbox were still not hot. Any of my other grinders would have been very hot. It cost a lot more than my other grinders, but I feel it is more comfortable and safer (I still use the other grinders, but if there is a danger of loosing grip, I will use this one).

Only problem is the plug the pin was damge . not good for Bosch put a good plug on it.

Nice weight and good noise levels, great price, like the tigger being underneath, not a fan of the on off switch on the side of the grinder.

Smooth start with good levels of power and high speed. Used it with arbortec carving disc and results were good with safe levels of control.

So far so good, seems solidly made and works well. Replaced a previous Bosch which gave many years hard service so hopefully this one is just as good.

Good bosch quality

great machine

Seems ok and arived on time
