The Milwaukee 3672-22 M18 FUEL™ 4-1/2″ / 6″ Braking Grinder is built for high-output cutting and grinding where cordless convenience cannot compromise power or safety. A POWERSTATE™ brushless motor sustains 9,000 RPM to match 13A corded grinders, while REDLINK PLUS™ manages heat and load for consistent performance. RAPIDSTOP™ braking brings most abrasive wheels to a stop in under 2 seconds, and the electronic clutch reduces kickback in binds. Four-position variable speed (3,000–9,000 RPM) improves control for flap discs, fiber wheels, and thin-kerf cutting. With the included M18™ REDLITHIUM™ FORGE™ XC8.0 batteries, users get HD12.0-level output in a smaller pack and up to 135 cuts per charge (application-dependent), helping crews work longer between battery swaps.
The grinder ships with Type 27 (grinding) and Type 1 (cutting) guards, a paddle switch with no lock-on, and an anti-vibration side handle for comfort on extended use. ONE-KEY™ support enables tracking, management, and security features across a fleet. Backed by Milwaukee’s 5-year tool warranty, this kit gives trades a compact, cordless grinder that performs like a corded unit and travels anywhere the job demands.

Milwaukee 3672-22 M18 FUEL™ 4-1/2″-6″ Variable Speed Braking Grinder, Paddle Switch w/ ONE-KEY™ Kit Notes for Buyers (quick tips)
- Guard Selection: Use the Type 27 guard for grinding and the Type 1 guard for straight cutting wheels. Never run a Type 1 wheel under a Type 27 guard.
- Wheel Size & Speed: Match accessory ratings to 9,000 RPM and to the selected 4-1/2″ or 6″ size. Do not exceed the wheel’s marked max RPM.
- Variable Speed Use: Lower speeds (3k–5k) help with flap discs and wire wheels on thin material; higher speeds (7k–9k) suit heavy grinding and cut-off wheels.
- Braking Behavior: RAPIDSTOP™ is designed for abrasive wheels; diamond wheels may not stop as quickly—wait for full stop before setting the tool down.
- Clutch Awareness: If the electronic clutch trips during a bind, inspect the wheel and workpiece, adjust your approach, and resume—don’t force the cut.
- Flanges & Mounting: Use the correct backing flange and outer nut for each accessory; confirm the wheel seats flat before tightening.
- Battery Choice Matters: The included FORGE XC8.0 packs deliver peak performance; standard packs will run, but with reduced sustained output.
- PPE & Sparks: Wear eye/face protection and gloves; manage spark direction away from fuel, glass, and personnel.
- Dust Control: When cutting masonry or concrete, use rated accessories and a shroud with dust extraction per local regulations.
- Storage & Transport: Remove the battery and store with guard installed; keep the spindle lock released to avoid accidental wheel damage.
