## Description

This 5 in. Brushless Surfacing Grinder Kit with Kickback Brake is equipped with a brushless motor to eliminate brush replacements, reducing downtime. It also features a brake that stops the wheel quickly. PERFORM & PROTECT™ features on this tool include Kickback Brake and E-CLUTCH® to help enhance user protection without impacting performance.

Review: Right tool for the job! - I recently chiseled away an old ceramic floor from the early 80's (yes it was ugly..), what was left could be described as something similar to a relief map of the Himalayan mountains minus snowy peaks and Yeti tracks. The remaining concrete/thinset/ceramic/epoxy (yes someone cheated years ago on a patch job) proved to be stubborn to all but a 3lb sledge and hardened chisel. Having many DeWalt tools and being mostly pleased with their performance I chose to give this guy a try. Summary: The Good: 1. Ergonomics - Handle placement and controls are well though out. I set the speed and ran 2-3 sq feet to get a feel then went to town. 2. Grind-ability - Ample torque to handle even the highest peaks of the remaining flooring substrate. I experienced little to no kick-back when transitioning from smallest to largest of the pinnacles. The Neutral: 1. Dust Catcher - While very effective in minimizing dust from the flattening of the hills, the front of the dust guard opens fairly easily when bumping up against a corner or wall. Once I ran a few more yards along a wall I was able to get around this little nuance by making the closest pass from right to left ensuring the guard would stay in the closed position. Here a little stronger detente or slide lock in the plastic retention feature would be good. 2. Retention thumb screws for the handle - The female receptacle for the thumb screws needs to incorporate either a nylock type nut or a ratcheted base. I found after a few hours of grinding that the handle screws would loosen. Not a big deal as they have beefy caps that are easy to turn and torque down again. 3. This is not a daily use tool so it would be nice to see a hard case or tool bag for storage. The Needs Improvement: 1. Speed control for the brush-less motor - Maybe I am biased here because I have done a lot of development for brush-less motor controllers in the medical field, but I find the transitions between speeds to be "chunky". Having variable speeds is an A+ and in no way does the transition between speed settings affect overall performance, I would just like to see the steps have a smoother transition. In conclusion, this is another DeWalt tool that is a win. Value for capability is high. Build quality is high. I am impressed how well this thing chews through the slag that was left from the floor. Bonus points for having a side handle included so it can double as a grinder when the flooring work is done.
Review: Well crafted, rock solid, perfect weight, runs all day. - I have owned just about every kind of angle grinder made after 40+ years of hard work. When it comes to soothing out or prepping your concrete for tile or an overlay this is a great tool. The controls are laid out well, the weight is just right and its dust shielding feature works great. I connect mine to a Dustopper unit that collects the vast majority of the concrete dust before then going to my big Rigid shop vac. The perfect setup. I highly recommend this.

## Features

- Brushless motor requires no brush changes
- The Electronic kickback brake engages when a pinch, stall, or bind-up event is sensed, engaging with maximum force to quickly stop the wheel, reduce the movement of the grinder, And shut the motor off
- POWER-LOSS RESET® - The ON/OFF trigger switch has a no-volt release function. In the event of a power outage or other unexpected shut down, the trigger switch will need to be cycled (turned off and then on) to restart tool.
- Variable speed functionality lets the user change wheel speed for applications as needed
- DWE46005 bail handle (included) offers multiple positions for user preferred configuration

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this grinder come with the dust shroud included and cutting blade?**
A: Yes

**Q: Do you have to put a washer before attaching the diamond cup?**
A: The inner flange washer should be installed behind the wheel allowing tool free removal and proper fit.

**Q: Does it come with a case?**
A: No, the DWE46253 does not come with a case.

**Q: Can the dust shroud be removed so the grinder can be used with a cutting wheel?**
A: I believe so. The shroud hooked up to a vacuum works great for indoor grinding. Really kept the concrete dust down and removed remaining floor adhesive to prepare the concrete surface for a new tile floor.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Well made tool, grinds concrete like wood!
*by W***L on September 28, 2024*

We had to waterproof basement. This grinder is woman friendly and/or beginner friendly. Speed adjust is on a click wheel and the on switch locks on. For safety, there is an instant shutoff brake. The dust housing works perfectly! The diamond wheel cuts beautifully. I recommend to add the DeWalt dust separator 6 gallon and the Craftsman 16 gallon shop vac. Run the bag and filter on the shop vac so in case the bag tears, the filter will keep clean. The dust cyclone traps 95-98% of the dust. The vac is the power source and insurance. These tools are contractor quality (just toss the bag that comes in vac and replace with Powertec bags [twice as thick])
