The new polisher includes Metabo's VTC (Vario Tacho Constamatic) electronic speed stabilization for increased productivity under the heaviest operating conditions. The PWE11-100 features a long-lasting 9.6 A motor with 1,100 W of power, 34 inch-lbs of torque and a no-load speed of 1,700 rpm to 5,400 rpm.  This enables the PWE11-100 to polish twice as fast as an air polisher and gives the tool the ability to drive 1-3/8" core bits for faucet installations.

The new wet polisher provides consistent results, essential in decorative stone and concrete applications.  A central water supply spreads water evenly over the polishing pad through a spindle and the polisher's solid 1/4 turn valve easily controls water flow.  The easy to use tool features a quick connect external water supply fitting, an adjustable, ergonomic D-handle for comfortable operation as well as sturdy, die-cast aluminum gear housing with protective cover.  

In addition to incorporating Metabo's unique dust-deflection winding protection grid, one of the most effective dust protection systems on the market, the PWE11-100 also features overload protection, an electric soft-start with an encapsulated on/off switch, enclosed carbon brush holders to protect against electrical shorts and a GFCI integrated into the power cord for electrical safety during wet grinding.
