Metabo’s KNSE12-150 was developed with a flat design that enhances its overall operation and maneuverability.

Metabo Corporation, manufacturers of professional-grade portable electric power tools, is introducing a new fillet-weld grinder that’s versatile enough to finish a range of metals, including stainless steel. The KNSE 12-150 fillet-weld grinder is an extended nose grinder for finishing and polishing hard to access fillet welds typically found on handrails or inside welds on enclosed areas.

The new tool was developed with an especially flat design that enhances its overall operation and maneuverability. It weighs only 6.6 lbs and is equipped with Metabo's Marathon motor, with double gear reduction for extreme power delivery. Standard features include a winding protection grid, auto-stop carbon brushes and thumbwheel for speed preselect. The Vario Tacho Constamatic (VTC) full-wave electronic speed control feature ensures the tool operates at nearly constant speed under any load.

Safety features of the KNSE12-150 include an electronic soft-start, a toolless adjustment for the grinder's protective cover, overload protection, and a power interruption protection. According to the developer, the KNSE12-150 “can take a weld from raw to mirror finish using the available accessories.”

Metabo develops and supplies abrasives for industrial, construction, and welding applications.
