Hoteche 4-1/2" Electric Variable Speed Angle Grinder

For the money this is a must have variable speed grinder. You do not need a M14 to 5/8 11 adapter for a Cut off wheel, Grinding wheel or a Flap sanding disc. The 4 1/2” disc have a 7/8” hole which all fit this grinder. The only time you need a M14 to 5/8” adapter is when using a wire brush that threads onto the grinder. I worked all day with this grinder doing some custom welding on a 12’ trailer. After this review I am ordering another one just to keep a cup brush wire wheel on it all the time which needs the M14 to 5/8 adapter. The one I ordered on amazon was just under $15 it is called a Core Bit Adapter M14 threaded (female) To 5/8” 11 threaded (male) Arbor This adapter works perfect because it extends the cup wire brush away from the grinder perfectly. I hope this helps. I was able to purchase two of these for less than one comparable variable grinder. I also like the feel in hand do to its weight and smaller size. I have to say for the money now that I used it all day this purchase turned out to be a no brainer and that does not happen that often.

I bought this specifically for the variable speed function to use with paint/rust stripper discs and wire attachments. It was only usable with the speed turned all the way up and the motor seized after limited use. Actually seems like something also shorted inside because at the time the motor seized I had to yank the plug because the switch wouldn't turn it off. I'm going to try and return it. Even if it didn't fail I still wouldn't recommend buying it.

I needed a 4 1/2" angle grinder as my old 4" no longer takes the newer attachments....plus I wanted variable speed for handling delicate paint removal. This product fills the bill and is about 1/4 the price of the competing big label brands. It's perfect for the job of removing paint, carefully, with a low rpm.

I wish some of the high-end power tool companies would make something like this - SMALL, lightweight, nice variable speed control and seems to be well designed and built. I have a Pneumatic IR 4 1/2 angle grinder and wanted an electric equivalent and this came very close. Hope it holds up.

I bought this to use with the 3” wool buffing pads, because all of the angle grinders I have are only 1 speed, you can slow this down for buffing and polishing small areas,it does start getting pretty warm after a short time, and I wouldn’t expect this to last too long if it were worked much, but again good for the price

The media could not be loaded. Within an hour of use to gently polish a chamfer on porcelain tile I started to have issues, first the rpms were changing on their own, then the arbor will not turn under load. Maybe I got a lemon but for fourth bucks most of them are probably junk.

It's hard to find a variable speed angle grinder at a reasonable price. I've only been using it for a short time but it works well and seems well made. I have no issues with the seller.

Having at least 6 angle grinders, not one of them was variable speed.This is an essential feature for cutting metal, never found at this price point.With the right blade I was cuttingcast iron with the precision of an exacto knife.I saw a couple 1 star slashings over the on/off switch sticking.What moron wouldn't know enough to hit it with a drop of WD40?Worked flawless after that.
