The Hitachi G18SCY 7-Inch 15-Amp Disc Grinder features a patented new technology called UVP (User Vibration Protection). The adverse health effects to a user from vibration produced by power tools is a hot issue being addressed at this time. Hitachi's UVP technology reduces the overall vibration produced and therefore drastically lessens the vibration transfer to the user of the tool. A flexible switch and side handle reduces full-load triaxial vibration by over 30 percent. This 15-amp grinder generates up to 6,000-RPM. In addition, a two-part stator coil provides 1.5 times the surface area for 25 percent cooler operation and a new high accuracy gear structure with dampers reduces noise by up to 60 percent. Overall, with the G18SCY you get 10 percent more output power, less vibration, 56 percent longer brush life and 65 percent lower gear noise as compared to competitive models. The Hitachi G18SCY 7-Inch 15-Amp Disc Grinder comes with a 1-year limited warranty. Hitachi Power Tools provides professional-grade power tools for a variety of applications, including woodwork, metalwork, concrete, drilling, cutting and fastening.
