Mount Prospect, IL - Bosch Power Tools and Accessories has earned a well-deserved reputation for providing outstanding user experiences in the grinder category, beginning with the launch of its 1800-Series grinders two years ago and continuing with the introduction of its patented and award-winning dust collection attachments in 2008. Long before either of those developments, Bosch was already known for the incredible durability of its entire line of grinders. Now Bosch is taking things a step further, with the debut of its 1900 Series Large Angle Grinders, the lightest and most comfortable 7" and 9" grinders in the category.
Each weighing less than 12 pounds, Bosch's four new 1900 Series Large Angle Grinders are up to 20 percent lighter than the competition. Combined with a long-lasting 15-amp motor that delivers 4 HP, Bosch's new grinders boast unparalleled power- to -weight ratios. In the demanding environments for which the 1900 Series was designed - foundries, shipyards, road construction, concrete surfacing, block cutting, pipe fitting, restoration contracting - every little boost in efficiency translates into big increases in productivity.
When it comes to isolating users from vibration, Bosch has the edge there too. Bosch's new Vibration Control engineering utilizes re-designed main and side handles to reduce vibrations levels up to 50 percent, versus the competition.
Beyond weight and vibration reductions, Bosch further enhances user comfort with intelligent features such as ergonomically designed soft-grip handles on all models and rotating main handles on its 9" models. A patented, tool-free, flanged guard design enables the user to easily adjust the guard, in any direction, based on the application and work environment.
As in the past, users can count on outstanding service life from Bosch's new large angle grinders. Bosch's 1900 Series Large Angle Grinders include epoxy coated field windings to offer the ultimate in protection against dust and debris for longer motor life. When it is time for routine maintenance, Bosch's Service Minder Brushes stop the tool and let the user know it's time for a brush replacement.
Another durability-enhancing innovation, Bosch has optimized its new 7" grinders to operate at 8,500 RPM. Bosch's research into how 7" grinders are used indicated that an operating speed of 8,500 RPM improves wheel life by up to 20 percent in typical use. Combined with improved stock removal rates, the higher RPM offers users a maximized performance machine overall.
All four of Bosch's new 1900 Series Large Angle Grinders come complete with sturdy carrying cases. The grinders are Bosch One-Touch Guard compatible and are available through authorized Bosch distributors nationwide. To find out more, users may visit www.boschtools.com or call 877-BOSCH-99.
