Two 18 volt straight grinders with long spindle and the performance of a corded tool – the GGS 18V-23 LC Professional and GGS 18V-23 PLC Professional from Bosch. Both straight grinders offer up to 35 percent more power and a runtime that is up to 100 percent longer than the current 18 volt model with 5.0 Ah battery. This is thanks to a brushless motor and the high-performance ProCore18V 8.0 Ah battery. When combined, they give the tools power that is similar to that of a 1,000 watt corded tool. Locksmiths and tradespeople in metalworking workshops, for example automotive or system construction, therefore achieve a higher material removal rate. Furthermore, milling applications are possible for the first time – thus offering a wider range of applications than ever before. The maximum collet diameter is eight millimeters for all common accessories. Machine surfaces, deburr edges, sand off weld seams, polish, separate or carry out finishing work – the cordless straight grinders make rapid progress at 23,000 revolutions per minute. Thanks to the narrow handle and low weight of 1.4 kilograms, professionals can work with precision in any position. The design with a long spindle allows them also to easily access tight spaces, for example the 90 degree angle on a T-profile. Furthermore, the tools are robust and durable – even for the hardest grinding and milling applications.
