Four models are available, each with a power output of 1 900 W,
and covering a range of applications for different trades. These are
the GWS 19-125 CI Professional, an all-round tool for all grinding
and cutting operations, and the GWS 19-125 CIE Professional,
which is ideal for material-friendly applications using
low speeds and special accessories such as
brushes.
The GWS 19-125 CIST Professional
has a higher torque rating, and is
optimised for highly-intensive
grinding operations such
as machining of stainless
steel. The GWS 19-150 CI
Professional offers the
largest disc diameter,
meaning it has the
largest cutting depth and
grinding surface of
the range.
“The significant
improvement in
productivity is due to
the fact that the most
powerful models available
were previously rated at
only 1 700 W,” Campbell
Mhodi, Bosch Professional
Power Tools senior brand
manager, reveals.
“The tools are simultaneously easy
to operate and ergonomically designed,”
World’s most
POWERFUL RANGE
of small
ANGLE GRINDERS
The world’s most powerful range of small angle
grinders from Bosch offers even faster work
progress, thereby improving the productivity of
tradespeople dramatically.
COVER STORY
Mhodi adds. “They fit well in the hand, thanks to a 208 mm handle
circumference, and weigh only 2,4 kg and 2,5 kg respectively. This
means the tools offer the best power-to-weight ratio on the market.”
Bosch’s focus on a high level of user protection includes a
Kick Back Control feature, known previously as Kick Back Stop.
Additional safety features are a soft start, restart protection, a
protective guard with anti-rotation lock, and an auxiliary handle with
vibration-damping.
“These small angle grinders are ideal for continuous use, thanks
to their high performance and ease of operation,” Mhodi notes.
“They allow for gentle, fast, and powerful machining of sensitive
materials, even when it comes to complex cutting
and grinding operations.”
The new angle grinders achieve
especially good results when used in
conjunction with Bosch ceramic
accessories. The use of self-
sharpening ceramic corundum
means that these abrasive
discs provide very high
stock removal rates.
Efficient dust extraction
is possible with Bosch
extraction guards for
angle grinders, allowing
safe operation with
minimum tool wear.
These compact
angle grinders come
standard with a mounting
flange, protective guard,
tensioning nut, auxiliary
handle, and two-hole
wrench. The extensive range
of accessories available from
Bosch includes cutting discs, flap
discs, diamond discs, and grinding
discs, in addition to brushes.
