Overview

The AVID AG640 is a corded electric grinder built for continuous power tool tasks, running on standard 120 volt AC current with a 1000 watt motor.

At 11500 RPM the AG640 spins in the range typical of angle grinders used for cutting, grinding and surface prep on metal, though the listing does not specify disc size so that detail should be checked before buying. Weighing 4.19 pounds it sits at a manageable weight for extended one-handed use compared to larger grinders.
