Bosch Professional 060179H002 GWS 17-125 CIE Angle Grinder

Power: 1700 W; Disc size: 125 mm; Weight: 2.3 kg; No-load speed: around 11,000 rpm; Spindle: standard 14 mm mounting with a spindle lock for fast disc changes; Safety guard is adjustable; Anti-restart and vibration-damping handle are included for safer, more comfortable use.

Constant Electronic helps maintain a steady speed under load, so you get consistent grinding or cutting performance even when the task gets tougher. This reduces stalling and helps you finish faster with predictable results.

It has an anti-restart function to prevent unexpected startup after a power interruption, a vibration-damping handle to reduce fatigue, and an adjustable protection guard to shield you from sparks and debris during operation.

Use the spindle lock to hold the spindle still, then rotate the disc to loosen or tighten the clamping nut. The spindle lock allows disc changes without needing extra tools, saving time on the job.

Weighing 2.3 kg, it balances well for one-handed or two-handed use. The vibration-damped handle reduces fatigue, and the compact form helps you work in tight spaces with better control.

This grinder accepts standard 125 mm discs with a 14 mm spindle, including grinding stones, cutting discs and polishing wheels. Always choose discs that match the 125 mm diameter and bore size, and use the appropriate guard for the task.

GWS 17-125 CIE offers higher power (1700 W) for tougher material removal and faster grinding, at the trade-off of being heavier. GWS 13-125 CIE is lighter and more maneuverable for overhead or precision tasks, with lower power geared toward less demanding jobs. For heavier metalworking and renovation, GWS 17-125 CIE is preferred; for lighter work or overhead use, GWS 13-125 CIE may be easier to handle.

If you’re weighing options, you can compare with the lighter 11-125 CI or other 125 mm models on Fepy. For instance, the 11-125 CI offers a lighter footprint with sufficient power for many tasks, while still delivering Bosch quality.

Use it for rapid material removal on metal welds, grinding down rough edges, cutting through metal or stone, and polishing surfaces to a smooth finish. It’s suited for professional construction sites, metal fabrication, renovation and workshop projects where durable, high-output grinding is needed.

Keep the air vents clear of dust, periodically inspect the guard and handle for wear, use the correct discs for your task, and replace worn discs promptly. Store the tool in a dry place and use compatible accessories to preserve performance and safety.

If you frequently work with hard materials and need fast material removal, the 1700 W motor and robust build offer strong value and efficiency. For lighter, overhead or precision tasks, a lower-power 125 mm model might be more comfortable and economical.
