When high-speed finishing work calls for a compact straight grinder with more motor output than smaller mini models, the AIRCAT 6200 1/4" Mini Composite Straight Die Grinder gives technicians a lightweight pneumatic tool for grinding, deburring, edge cleanup, and detail finishing. Its 0.4 HP motor and 20,000 RPM free speed support controlled material removal with compatible mounted stones, carbide burrs, and properly rated rotary accessories. The 1/4" collet size accepts matching 1/4" shank accessories for work on castings, brackets, weld details, gasket surfaces, machined edges, housings, and general shop repair parts.
At approximately 0.90 lbs. and 6.50" long, the 6200 provides a compact straight-body layout for confined service areas while offering a stronger 0.4 HP motor than the smaller AIRCAT 6205 mini die grinder. The direct drive design keeps power transfer simple for high-speed finishing work, while the rear exhaust directs air away from the front of the tool and work surface. AIRCAT's patented quiet tuned exhaust reduces operating noise to 82 dBA, and the feather trigger helps the operator control speed during delicate deburring, blending, and surface preparation tasks.
