Aircat Pneumatic Tools 6220 Angle Grinder | 0.5 HP | 15000 RPM | 3/8" - 24 Collet Size | Rear Exhaust

When compact right-angle grinding and sanding work requires a 2" abrasive format, the AIRCAT 6220 2" Angle Grinder gives technicians a lightweight pneumatic tool for controlled surface preparation, edge cleanup, deburring, and finishing. Its 0.5 HP motor and 15,000 RPM free speed support use with compatible properly rated abrasive wheels and sanding accessories. The 3/8"-24 spindle/collet size is paired with a 2" Type 27 wheel size, making this grinder useful for small-area grinding, gasket-surface cleanup, weld-detail blending, rust removal, paint preparation, and confined repair work.

At 1.50 lbs. and 7.00" long, the 6220 provides a compact angle-head layout that helps position the abrasive where a larger grinder may be difficult to control. Spiral bevel gearing transfers power through the right-angle head, while the rear exhaust directs air away from the front of the tool and work surface. AIRCAT lists this model with a quiet tuned exhaust at 80 dBA, low 0.6 m/sec² vibration, a variable speed trigger with safety lock-off lever, and an ergonomically designed composite over-mold housing for repeated shop use.

FAQs:

• Q: What is the AIRCAT 6220 best used for?
  A: The AIRCAT 6220 is best used for compact 2" grinding, sanding, surface preparation, rust removal, edge cleanup, and finishing work where a small angle grinder provides better access and control than a larger grinder.
• Q: Is the AIRCAT 6220 a die grinder or an angle grinder?
  A: AIRCAT identifies SKU 6220 as a 2" angle grinder. The catalog lists a 3/8"-24 spindle/collet size and a 2" Type 27 wheel size, so this page describes it as an angle grinder rather than a standard 1/4" collet die grinder.
• Q: What accessories can I use with this grinder?
  A: Use compatible properly rated 2" Type 27 wheels and accessories that match the 3/8"-24 spindle/collet configuration and the tool's 15,000 RPM free speed. AIRCAT also lists compatibility with a 2" Rol-loc sanding pad with adapter included.
• Q: What does spiral bevel gearing mean?
  A: Spiral bevel gearing is a gear arrangement used to transfer power through the right-angle head of the grinder. On the 6220, this allows the abrasive to work at a right angle to the tool body.
• Q: What air hose size should I use with the AIRCAT 6220?
  A: AIRCAT lists a 3/8" recommended hose size and a 1/4" NPT air inlet for this model. Using clean, regulated air helps the grinder maintain proper speed, performance, and service life.
• Q: Should I disconnect the air supply before changing wheels or sanding accessories?
  A: Yes. Disconnect the air supply and air hose before changing wheels, pads, adapters, or other abrasive accessories. This helps prevent accidental starts while the tool is being adjusted.
