Whether you're working in a granite shop, smoothing floor pavement, erasing graffiti, removing weather-worn paint, or cleaning surfaces, the 1773AK is up to the task, thanks to its powerful 10-amp motor that delivers 11,000 RPM. Bosch's trademarked Constant Response Circuitry maintains constant motor speed under even the toughest jobs, providing overload protection and delivering a reduced-torque soft start that safeguards your work surface.
For added safety, automatic restart protection guards against restart after a power failure, and it ensures that the tool is never powered on unless you need it to be. And a lock-on/lock-off switch lets you tackle extended-use applications comfortably.
Diamond Cup Wheels for Precision and Safety
Bosch diamond cup wheels, like the five-inch wheel included with the 1773AK, last longer, offer reliable performance, and provide safe grinder operation. Bosch diamond cup wheels are crafted with high-grade diamond segments, and they are manufactured using a process that includes 100-percent dynamic counterbalancing of every grinding head for comfortable, reliable, and vibration-free work.
The diamond cup wheels' five-hole dust extraction design provides an optimal combination of allowable airflow and material removal that complements the rest of the 1773AK's dust removal features.
Innovative Dust Management for Clean, Safe Operation
The 1773AK features a convenient dust extraction port and comes packaged with a vacuum adapter to help keep your work area clear, safe, and free of dust. This concrete grinder also boasts a specially designed head for surfacing applications, which combines with the Bosch diamond cup wheel to ensure clean, safe dust extraction that exceeds both UL and OSHA safety requirements.
The dust collection system also utilizes a replaceable brush ring to help you maintain dust-free working conditions over time.
Sealed Against Dust and Debris for a Long Life
With epoxy-coated field windings, a sealed switch, double-sealed ball bearings, and two lip-sealing rings to protect against dust contamination, the 1773AK is built to stand up to the toughest jobsite conditions.
For added convenience, the grinder's spindle lock allows for quick wheel changes on the job. And when preventive maintenance is required to keep your concrete surfacing grinder in top shape, the trademarked Service Minder light lets you know.
Practical, Ergonomic Design for Ease of Use
A slim, ergonomic barrel means you can grip the 1773AK comfortably and securely, even when you're removing mortar from a bathroom floor or working in another tight space. The grinder's wraparound auxiliary handle provides control from a variety of angles, and it offers multiple hand positions for decreased operator fatigue.
The 1773AK concrete surfacing grinder is backed by a one-year warranty, 30-day, money-back guarantee, and one-year service protection plan.

Tools and Hardware Reviews of Bosch 1773AK 5-Inch Concrete Surfacing Grinder
Customer Review: The best at one thing
Summary: 5 Stars
This tool is amazing. I purchased it to level/grade a concrete slab beneath what was later to be a tiled floor. The slab was more than a year old, and filled with aggregate - very hard. I had to remove about an inch and a half at the thickest point, tapering down to nothing over a 2 by 4 foot area. I researched online and asked around, and settled on this Bosch product. I have owed other Bosch products, and other highly respected brands as well, having no particular loyalty other than to quality and value.
This grinder was impressive. Solidly built, easy to use, professional results. I followed the set-up suggestions, particularly those pertaining to the shop vac filter connections, and finished the entire job in about two hours. Virtually no clean-up, no dust escaped the well-designed skirt and grinder head assembly. My GC stopped by to help, stuck around for about an hour to try out the new tool, then left, concluding I had no need for his assistance. He was impressed as much as I (which is a rare thing as he is a perfectionist with 27 yrs experience and an impressive array of both old-school and modern-technology construction and power tools).
It's so much better for concrete leveling/planing than an open-skirt angle grinder (which we used for cutting some drainage slots). It sits flat on the floor and does its thing, leaving behind a smooth level surface with no ambient dust. I didn't have problems with overheating, though I could see how one might if applying excessive pressure for long periods (hours) at a time. To those who complained about it not being a general purpose tool, I agree, it is great for leveling and not at all useable for slots, tight detail work, or general purpose grinding. But then again, don't buy a race horse if you want milk - buy a cow!
