Angle Grinder CAT DX35 23 cm 6500 RPM 2350 W 5.7 kg

The CAT DX35 angle grinder is a heavy-duty power tool designed for demanding grinding and cutting tasks. It features a robust 2350 W motor, a 23 cm (230 mm) grinding disc and an idle speed of 6500 RPM. The tool's overall weight of 5.7 kg and a 22.2 mm bore make it suitable for sustained professional use on construction and metalworking sites, where consistent power and durability are required.

Advantages

The CAT DX35 combines high motor output with a large disc diameter to deliver rapid material removal and effective cutting performance. The 2350 W motor provides reliable torque under load while the 6500 RPM no-load speed balances cutting power and control. The machine's solid build and manageable weight allow professional users to work for extended periods with acceptable fatigue. Compatibility with common 230 mm accessories ensures versatility across grinding, cutting and surface preparation tasks.

Suitable for

• Heavy metal grinding and weld seam dressing
• Cutting steel profiles, rebar and metal sheet
• Surface preparation and paint or rust removal on large areas
• Concrete and masonry cutting with appropriate discs
• Workshop and on-site construction use requiring sustained power

When it may not be suitable

Because the CAT DX35 is a comparatively heavy and powerful angle grinder, it may be less suitable for light-duty hobby tasks or detailed precision work that require a smaller, lighter tool. The high power and large disc diameter also make it less appropriate for prolonged overhead use where ergonomics and reduced weight are critical.

Key specifications

• Motor power: 2350 W
• Disc diameter: 23 cm (230 mm)
• No-load speed: 6500 RPM
• Tool weight: 5.7 kg
• Bore (arbor) diameter: 22.2 mm
• Power supply: AC mains

How to use

Fit a compatible 230 mm disc that matches the intended task and the material being worked on, ensuring the bore aligns with the 22.2 mm arbor. Secure the disc with the appropriate flange and locking nut, and confirm the guard is correctly positioned between the user and the disc. Connect the grinder to a suitable mains supply, hold the tool firmly with both hands, and start it while keeping the disc clear of the workpiece until it reaches full speed. Apply steady, moderate pressure and move the tool continuously to avoid overheating the disc or workpiece. After use, allow the disc to stop completely before setting the tool down and disconnect from power before changing accessories or performing maintenance.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm availability of compatible 230 mm discs for your intended applications (cutting, grinding, masonry).
• Assess site power supply to ensure safe use on AC mains at required voltage and current.
• Consider the tool weight (5.7 kg) in relation to expected duration and type of work.
• Ensure appropriate personal protective equipment (eye, ear, respiratory, hand protection) is used.

Usage recommendations

For best results use discs rated for 230 mm with a 22.2 mm bore, follow manufacturer safety instructions, and replace worn discs promptly. For cutting tasks choose a thin abrasive or diamond blade suitable for the material; for heavy grinding use coarse abrasive discs and maintain steady motion to prolong disc life. Regularly inspect the power cord, guard and switch for damage and service the tool according to local safety standards.
