## Overview

The Metabo HPT G12VE2 is a 4-1/2" angle grinder featuring a powerful 1500W AC brushless motor with six variable speeds (2,500-8,500 RPM) for versatile grinding and finishing. Designed for professionals, it offers advanced safety features including kickback protection and zero voltage restart, plus ergonomic controls like a 3-position side handle and tool-less wheel guard for maximum comfort and efficiency. Ideal for welders, fabricators, and machinists seeking reliable, smooth performance with minimal maintenance.

## Description

The 4-1/2" 12 Amp AC Brushless Variable Speed Angle Grinder G12VE2 offers exceptional performance and flexibility with six speed settings for more control. This is the tool you need whether you are polishing/finishing, removing paint, rust, burrs, grinding or rough grinding. The robust 12 Amp brushless AC motor delivers a no-load speed of 2,500 to 8,500 RPM, which allows you to take on a wide variety of tasks. The brushless motor is ultra efficient and permits the use of extra long extension cords with reduced power loss, extends product life and eliminates maintenance of armatures or carbon brushes. Provided safety features are kickback protection, zero voltage restart and soft start. A tool-less wheel guard and 3 position side handle provide the user increased operational efficiency. An anti-vibration side handle is included for user comfort. A removable dust filter offers additional protection for the motor against dust and debris and ensuring the tool is operating effectively as desired. Superior performance is when using a generator via an internal inverter circuit that regulates uneven power supply.

Review: Torque, quiet, quality - I love it! That being said I'm not using it under harsh conditions or for mass quantities of stock removal. It maintains RPMs and I love that you can dial this thing up and down a good range of speeds. Perfect for what I'm doing. I'm a CNC machinist and I use the break some edges on some large parts and also some weld prep or clean up. Very happy
Review: Smooth Power! - I’m a welder and fabricator at a structural steel shop. I’ve been in the trade for over 9 years now and I’ve used DeWalt, Bosch, Makita, and other grinders. I’ve always been intrigued by brushless tech in drills but never had a brushless grinder because I wasn’t sure they’d have the ‘umpf’ of a regular brushed motor. I’m here to tell you, this grinder exceeded my expectations. This grinder has smooth power. It’s smaller body makes for a comfortable grip and easy maneuverability. I may be grinding on a big beam or heavy wall tubing, then switch to doing fine detail weld finishing. This tool handles it all with aplomb. I was concerned the 8500rpm would be too slow but I have yet to bog it down and see any depreciable difference in power output. It’s so smooth I don’t even turn it down when doing fine detail work, only for safety when using a wire wheel. I cannot say enough about the quality of this tool. I could’ve gotten an 11 amp DeWalt for nearly half the price, (not variable speed.) The added electronic/speed controls and kickback prevention features are an added bonus. Final thought - if you’re looking for a new 4 1/2” grinder and can afford the expense, stop shopping around, don’t waste any more time comparing tools, and buy this grinder. I’m a convert. I’m a Metabo man now. You won’t be disappointed! It deserved all five stars from me.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Stays cool at low RPMs
*by D***R on October 22, 2025*

Used primarily for surface prep on concrete, lot of bevel cuts and precision removal of very hard concrete/coatings. The grinders with brushes get hot when we turn down the speed to control dust, these do not. Ever. We went from having to rotate grinders and still burning them out to each man having one and completing tasks with that grinder with no issues. Absolute beast, but balanced and quiet. Love these machines.
