The W2000 is equipped with a 7" wheel guard and features a powerful 15 A motor, 89 inch-lbs of torque and a no-load speed of 8,500 rpm. The W2000 includes Metabo's simplified on/off switch configuration with a safety lock to prevent the tool from accidentally turning on, a burst-proof guard and spindle lock. A three-position side handle allows users to turn the tool 90 degrees to cut vertically, while still having a firm grasp on the grinder. Auto-stop carbon brushes help to increase the tool's service life.

turning
Workpiece is held in a chuck, mounted on a face plate or secured between centers and rotated while a cutting tool, normally a single-point tool, is fed into it along its periphery or across its end or face. Takes the form of straight turning (cutting along the periphery of the workpiece); taper turning (creating a taper); step turning (turning different-size diameters on the same work); chamfering (beveling an edge or shoulder); facing (cutting on an end); turning threads (usually external but can be internal); roughing (high-volume metal removal); and finishing (final light cuts). Performed on lathes, turning centers, chucking machines, automatic screw machines and similar machines.
