DeWalt DCG408N XR Brushless Angle Grinder 125mm 18V, Bare Unit
This is a bare unit — no battery and no charger are supplied. It suits anyone already running DeWalt 18V XR or FlexVolt packs; if you are not, you will need a battery and charger before it does anything.
A 125mm cordless grinder with a brushless motor, running at 9,000/min. The switch is a paddle rather than a slide — it only runs while you are holding it, so letting go stops the disc, which is the safer arrangement and the one most sites prefer.
The safety features are the real story on this one. An electronic clutch cuts the kickback reaction if the disc pinches or stalls — the moment a grinder tries to take itself out of your hands. And a mesh debris cover keeps grinding dust from being drawn through the motor, which is what eventually kills a grinder used on block and steel.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does it come with a battery?
No. This is the bare unit — grinder only. You will need an 18V XR battery and a charger separately.
Paddle switch or slide switch — does it matter?
A paddle switch has to be held in, so if the tool is knocked out of your hands it stops. A slide switch latches on and keeps running. Most sites now specify paddle for exactly that reason.
What does the electronic clutch do?
If the disc jams or pinches, the motor is cut before the grinder can twist in your hands. It is the single most useful safety feature on a modern grinder.
What discs does it take?
Standard 125mm discs — cutting, grinding or flap, depending on the job. Match the disc to the material and check its rated speed is at least 9,000/min.
Do I need eye protection?
Yes, and hearing protection too. An angle grinder throws sparks and fragments at speed; goggles rather than glasses are the sensible choice.
