Group 16 - DeWalt 4 1/2 in Angle Grinder

Project Summary

In this project our group will dissect a DeWalt 4 1/2" Angle Grinder in order to analyze its components and gain an in-depth understanding of the design factors and how they influenced the final design. While the angle grinder may only be capable of spinning its attachments at high speeds, the great diversity of tasks and functions provided by those attachments means the grinder had to be designed to function under a variety of orientations, forces, and resistances. By analyzing each component of this product we will determine what factors and considerations went into designing a product that would hold up in these many different scenarios.
