Bosch GWS14-50 Corded 5” Professional Angle Grinder, Slide Switch, 120V 13A

The Bosch GWS14-50 is a compact, professional 5-inch corded angle grinder designed for fast cutting and grinding with confident control. A 13-amp motor delivers up to 11,500 RPM for strong material removal on steel, rebar, and cast components, while the narrow tool body and low weight help reduce fatigue during longer sessions. The slide switch supports steady, continuous runs, and the anti-vibration side handle helps maintain accuracy on bevels, weld cleanup, and surface prep. Variable-speed selection lets users match wheel speed to the accessory and material, dialing back for flap discs or polishing and turning up for aggressive grinding or cut-off work.

For protection and uptime, the GWS14-50 includes KickBack Control to help shut down the tool if the wheel binds, soft start for smoother engagement, and restart protection to help prevent unintended startup after a power interruption. Built-in overload protection guards the motor under heavy use. Rear air inlets improve direct cooling and dust diversion to extend service life in shop and jobsite conditions. Compatible with Bosch guards and dust-extraction hoods, this 120V grinder fits common 5/8″-11 accessories to cover metal fabrication, construction tasks, and concrete work with the proper shrouds.
