FLEX Introduces Five New 2000-Watt High-Performance Angle Grinders

FLEX is launching five new high-performance angle grinders in the 2000-watt segment, designed to be powerful, efficient, and meticulously detailed. Whether equipped with a paddle switch, specially designed for stainless steel applications, or a 150 mm cutting disc, these new models represent the forefront of FLEX's metalworking expertise. They set new benchmarks in the high-end metal processing segment, combining maximum performance, practical details, and optimized design.

Five High-Performance Models for Professional Demands

• LBE 20-11 125-EC – The versatile standard model with variable speed.
• LB 20-11 125-EC – The fixed speed variant, ideal for precise tasks.
• LBE 20-8 125-EC INOX – Specially optimized for stainless steel applications.
• LBP 20-11 125-EC – Features a paddle switch and safety strap loop, predestined for industrial applications, such as shipyards or scaffolding.
• LBE 20-10 150-EC – Topping the range, this model is particularly effective with a maximum cutting depth using 150 mm discs.

Application Areas and Machine Advantages

The new FLEX 2000-watt angle grinders are specifically engineered to meet the needs of professionals working in demanding environments. Whether in workshops, on construction sites, or in industrial settings, their robust construction, well-thought-out ergonomics, and powerful motorization make them the ideal choice for numerous applications.

• Locksmiths and metal construction companies will appreciate the high power density and the ability to work precisely and efficiently, even under continuous load, for tasks like cutting profiles or grinding welds.
• Industrial companies and shipyards will benefit from the special variant with a paddle switch and safety strap loop, offering enhanced safety during work on scaffolding or in difficult-to-access areas.
• Building and civil engineering professionals will find robust machines with a large cutting depth, like the 150 mm model with its powerful EC motor, delivering excellent results for cutting concrete or natural stone slabs.
• Gardeners, landscapers, and stone workers will value the reliable dust extraction thanks to the removable metal guard and the highly ergonomic design, perfect for precise stone cutting or exterior renovation projects.

Robust. Low Maintenance. Future-Oriented.

The new models are equipped with a 2000-watt brushless EC motor, offering a long service life and requiring minimal maintenance. They are significantly more efficient than traditional brushed motors, achieving a 74 percent efficiency rating, making them ideal for continuous use in locksmithing and industrial applications. The low maintenance requirement, which includes no carbon brush replacement, combined with a slimmer structure and particularly ergonomic shape, are key advantages.

The slide switch, positioned on top, ensures optimal usability for both right-handed and left-handed users. This is also a considerable advantage for cutting tasks where the angle grinder needs to be guided in various positions, for example, when cutting tiles or stone.

These devices have undergone further intelligent optimization: speed adjustment is now more user-friendly, with robust buttons replacing the dust-sensitive selector dial. Ergonomic benefits are also enhanced: "The new design of the device allowed us to incorporate soft inserts for a better grip and optimized ergonomics," explains Sigmar Wagenknecht, Product Manager.

Innovative Technology Meeting Professional Demands

The new FLEX angle grinders combine intelligent functionalities with practical advantages, always considering the real-world demands of users in craftsmanship, construction, and industry.

• Variable speed adjustment via one-touch button (model dependent): Six precise speed settings allow for clean work tailored to the material being processed. Slower speeds are suitable for applications involving stainless steel or controlled cutting of sensitive materials in horticulture and landscaping.
• Paddle switch with safety strap loop (LBP 20-11 125-EC): Specially designed for the industrial sector, it provides protection during overhead work, such as on shipyards or assembly platforms.
• Anti-vibration side handle: Significantly reduces vibrations, making it ideal for long working sessions without fatigue during grinding or cutting large metal surfaces.
• Smaller grip circumference (205 mm): Optimized ergonomics for precise guidance, for example, in deburring applications for metal processing companies.
• Removable metal guard: Enhances dust protection and extends the machine's lifespan, a valuable asset in construction and renovation.
• Spindle stop: Enables quick tool changes, saving time on site or in the workshop by eliminating complicated disc changes.
• Comprehensive safety and comfort features: Includes soft start, restart protection, overload protection, temperature monitoring, Kickback stop, constant electronic regulation, and a brake. These are particularly beneficial for continuous daily use in industry or construction.
• Guard cap clip: Allows for quick, tool-free adjustment of the protective guard, offering greater flexibility in changing work conditions.
• Models with 125 mm and 150 mm discs: Choose based on application needs, from fine stainless steel work to deep cuts in natural stone.

These practical features make the new FLEX angle grinders indispensable tools for any professional demanding the highest levels of performance, safety, and reliability. With its new 2000-watt angle grinders, FLEX once again demonstrates its commitment to meeting professional requirements by offering innovative technology, practical solutions, and a clear focus on metalworking.
