          I don't know why not. I've used mine to cut brick, tile, rebar and angle iron without any issues. That was with a diamond blade.

                  Grinder is ok if used with a cut off disk, can use the grinding disk but will be a bit slow and lot more metal removable than needed the grinding disk cuts on the face, the cut off disk cuts on the edge of disk

                    Yes it will cut steel. Low vibration tool.

                    Thank you for your question on the 9557NB 4‑1/2" Angle Grinder. With the right cutting wheel this angle grinder can cut metal.

                      Sure, with the right disk.

                      By|Jun 12, 2021

                      Yes indeed. Just use a thinner grinder wheel or cutting wheel and it will slice up anything

                      By|Jun 15, 2021


                        Does this angle grinder have a speed control feature? If not, which Makita angle grinder does.

                              This grinder is extremely powerful and durable; I own an identical one, but I decided to buy another so I wouldn't waste time changing discs. I recommend them 100%.

                                I picked up this grinder to cut some flagstone I had purchased through a third party. I had to purchase an additional wheel (Ridgid Diamond) because obviously the wheel it came with wasn’t for cutting stone. It works really well. The only issue I have with the grinder is the switch. It’s a little tough switching it on but I believe that’s due to safety concerns. Other than that, it works great. I’ve used it now for about 2 weeks off and on. Great tool to have around for many projects.

                                The only THing wrong I see is the switch, is kind of hard to turn on, need to really use both hands to turn it on, eventually the switch will brake, I had another one before with the same issue. Other than that, very reliable tool.

                                This is an awesome grinder! I had used a porter cable angle grinder for a few years around the house and the brushes needed replaced. I ordered another Porter cable grinder (online) took it out of the box and it literally went up in smoke in less than 10 minutes in the middle of my project. I needed to finish so I walked into home depot and picked this up. I am so happy I did So very very smooth with no vibration compared to the Porter Cable units. I am using to grind floors with a 4 1/2" Dewalt diamond grinding cup and a dust collector attachment. The only thing is when grinding floors I wish the body was a little longer and thicker. I have big hands and this kinda feels like a kids toy. But it works great. The slide switch is really easy to use. I am not sure why people have mentioned having trouble getting it to lock on. I had a pc unit that had a paddle switch,,, Ughh - never again . I hate the paddle switch.

                                Extremely easy to handle and cuts very well. Difficult to make precision cut though, so if it needs to be perfect - don't recommend it. Great for grinding down wood or composite wood (composite fence pieces).

                                A++ Best Grinder Ever ! !
                                6 years of personal hard use and abuse. Tortured and used just about every weekend. Built two ground up hotrods and many household projects. I was ridiculed for not buying a Dewalt but that same person needed it for a week in the oilfield when his Dewalt died. This grinder has been dropped a few times but always worked. Ground down and cut miles of steel and all metals. The cord never cracked or failed. The grip handle cracked on 6th year but never changed the performance. I disassembled the grinder thinking the bearing failed but it was the ring gear. Sold forever on the grinder. No complaints except it quit working at 10:00 pm on a Saturday night and Home Depot was closed. I'm going to get one after I complete this review.
