Milwaukee M18 FUEL 5" Flathead Braking Angle Grinder Paddle Switch No-Lock M18 2886-20 + FREE M18 XC6.0 Battery Pack 48-11-1865
Model Number: MIL288620
LOW-PROFILE PRECISION MEETS 11A CORDED POWER PERFORMANCE
Engineered to bridge the gap between corded reliability and cordless mobility, the 2886-20 is a specialized solution for tight-clearance grinding. The flathead gear case reduces the head profile significantly, allowing for a 42-degree angle of approach where standard grinders bottom out at 71 degrees. This isn't just about access; it's about maintaining high-torque performance in those restricted spaces. The POWERSTATE™ Brushless motor is optimized to sustain 8,500 RPM under load, ensuring that material removal rates remain consistent during heavy-duty surfacing. For the professional shop or jobsite, the RAPIDSTOP™ brake is a critical safety feature, bringing wheels to a complete halt in under two seconds, while the REDLINK PLUS™ intelligence manages the thermals to prevent shutdown during high-demand cutting or surfacing.
- / Low-profile flathead design provides a 42-degree clearance for superior access in tight corners and restricted spaces.
- / RAPIDSTOP™ braking system enhances jobsite safety by stopping most grinding wheels in less than 2 seconds.
- / POWERSTATE™ Brushless Motor delivers 11A corded equivalent power and 8,500 RPM for the most demanding applications.
- / REDLINK PLUS™ Intelligence provides optimized performance and overload protection using total system communication between tool and battery.

UNRIVALED ENERGY DENSITY AND THERMAL MANAGEMENT
When managing a massive fleet of M18 assets, the battery chemistry is the primary factor in tool longevity and jobsite throughput. The Milwaukee 48-11-1865 HIGH OUTPUT XC6.0 pack isn't just a capacity upgrade; it's a structural overhaul of the lithium-ion cell arrangement designed to sustain higher current draws without the heat-related degradation that plagues standard packs. This is a critical investment for contractors looking to maximize their ROI on high-performance brushless tools, providing the thermal headroom needed for sustained, heavy-duty applications.
- / 50% MORE POWER: Specifically engineered to provide the massive amperage required to fully utilize POWERSTATE brushless motor technology.
- / ADVANCED COOL-RUNNING TECH: Operates 50% cooler than previous XC models, allowing you to push tools harder through back-to-back cuts without thermal shutdown.
- / EXTREME CLIMATE DURABILITY: Optimized for sub-zero environments, delivering reliable fade-free power in temperatures below 0°F (-18°C).
- / INTELLIGENT COMMUNICATION: REDLINK hardware ensures the battery and tool work in tandem to prevent overload damage and over-discharge.
- / RUGGED CHASSIS: Impact-resistant housing designed to survive jobsite drops and resist common industrial chemicals/solvents.
