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

The Bosch GWS14-50B is a 5-inch corded angle grinder built for fast stock removal, clean cutting, and steady control in fabrication, construction, and maintenance work. A powerful 13-amp motor delivers up to 11,500 RPM in a compact body, paired with a slide switch for comfortable long runs. The variable-speed selection lets users match wheel speed to the task—dial down for flap discs or surface prep and ramp up for aggressive grinding or cut-off work. Bosch’s brake stops the wheel rapidly when the switch is turned off, helping crews move between cuts with less waiting time.

Safety and uptime are supported by KickBack Control to help shut off the tool in a bind, restart protection to prevent accidental startup after a power interruption, and Drop Control to shut the grinder down if a fall is detected. Soft start reduces the initial jolt at power-on, while built-in overload protection helps guard the motor during demanding use. An anti-vibration side handle improves comfort on longer passes, and the included Type A cutting and Type B grinding guards set up quickly for the task at hand. At 5.29 lb and 12.87″ long, this 120V grinder balances speed, control, and durability for daily professional use.
