What's your everyday grinder for cutting ? I have a bosch but the cord is driving me mad it's so rigid, not sure if it's getting more rigid as time goes on! I have a variable which has a lovely supple cord, so I bought the same model but none variable from PTT and that's got a normal cord on it.

it could be an old model.
my first bosch had the hard lead and problems
with the power button.
the second purchased, has a soft cable and no problem with the button.

BAH!!! if I have to make a few cuts, the battery-powered one is enough.
but 90% of the time I use the electric one,
the battery-powered one I keep for trim and small measures.
or to make the edge of the cuts.

I've 2 little bosch grinders, 1 is variable speed and a variable speed Makita. All are 240v, never tried a cordless one, why would I?

try asking the gypsies.
I sold 1 battery-powered grinder, I did not understand
because they called me only the Gypsies.
with the time I understood ....

Cordless Bosch for most cuts. Corded Bosch variable from PTT for polishing etc

I’ve got the Brushless Makita with the paddle switch and 5ah batteries. Cutting 12mm porc this week, like a hot knife through butter. I do have a corded one but never use it now.

Which model is that? Do you also use it for polishing?

Got to agree with @LEE MAC earlier in the thread.
The metabo battery grinder is a lovely piece of kit.
With a 5ah battery, I can mitre a full 2.4m sheet to a high standard, on the length.

Cordless Bosch.

Most of my grinder work is done with a Bosch
7-115 110v tho, it’s a very good one handed grinder.

I got one last week Mark. Some piece of kit. With the 22v it doesn’t struggle at all. As far as vibration I haven’t noticed any but I think that’s more to do with the disc. It’s not as easy to handle as the Metabo but it’s a proper work horse and has more power. I was working with 750’s last week and every cut had to be grinded and one battery lasted me to around 3pm and I mean it was working.
If you didn’t want to spend the money on the Hilti then my next recommendation would be the Metabo without doubt.
