Angle Grinder Bosch GWS 22-230 J

The Bosch GWS 22-230 J angle grinder is a heavy-duty handheld tool intended for high-power grinding and cutting tasks. Equipped with a 2200 W motor and a 230 mm (23 cm) grinding disc diameter, it delivers the torque and disc speed needed for metal fabrication, surface preparation, and cutting operations. The tool has a maximum no-load speed of 6500 rpm and a robust build that supports extended use on demanding jobsites. At 5.5 kg and finished in Bosch blue and black, the grinder combines stability with familiar Bosch ergonomics for controlled operation.

Advantages

The high-power 2200 W motor provides consistent performance under heavy load, reducing time spent on thick metal or large-diameter cuts. A 230 mm disc diameter increases cutting depth and grinding area compared with smaller grinders, improving efficiency on large surfaces. The maximum idle speed of 6500 rpm ensures effective material removal and smooth grinding action. The relatively substantial weight contributes to stable handling during aggressive cutting, while the durable housing is designed for prolonged professional use.

Suitable for

• Cutting and grinding steel and other ferrous metals
• Removing weld seams and surface scale
• Smoothing and shaping metal parts and profiles
• Preparing surfaces prior to painting or coating
• Heavy-duty demolition and construction tasks involving masonry or concrete when using appropriate discs

How to use

Fit the correct 230 mm disc for the task and ensure the disc type matches the material to be worked on. Securely mount the disc according to the manufacturer's instructions and check that guards and handles are properly attached. Hold the grinder with both hands, maintain a firm grip, and position the tool so the disc engages the workpiece at the intended angle. Start the grinder and allow it to reach full speed before applying it to the material. Apply steady, controlled pressure and make smooth passes to avoid overheating the disc or the workpiece. After use, allow the disc to stop completely before setting the tool down and disconnect power before making adjustments or changing accessories.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety goggles, ear protection, gloves, and respiratory protection when working with metal or concrete. Select discs rated for 230 mm diameter and compatible with the grinder's speed; discard damaged or worn discs. For longer tool life and consistent performance, follow routine maintenance: keep vents clear of dust, check brushes periodically if applicable, and store the grinder in a dry, secure location.
