Aircat Pneumatic Tools 6245 Angle Die Grinder | 0.5 HP | 20000 RPM | 1/4" Collet Size | Rear Exhaust

When right-angle access is needed for grinding, deburring, and finishing work, the AIRCAT 6245 1/4" Angle Die Grinder gives technicians a compact pneumatic tool for controlled material removal around brackets, housings, panels, fixtures, castings, and service cavities. Its 0.5 HP motor and 20,000 RPM free speed support work with compatible mounted stones, carbide burrs, sanding accessories, and other properly rated rotary accessories. The 1/4" collet size accepts matching 1/4" shank accessories for edge cleanup, burr removal, gasket-surface preparation, weld-detail blending, porting, smoothing, and general shop finishing.

At 1.50 lbs. and 7.00" long, the 6245 provides a right-angle head layout that helps position the accessory where a straight die grinder may not line up comfortably with the work surface. The spiral bevel gear set transfers power through the angled head, while the rear exhaust directs air away from the front of the tool and work area. AIRCAT lists this model with built-in silencing to reduce noise levels, precision bearing construction to reduce vibration and spindle run out, and a low 0.6 m/sec² vibration level for controlled finishing work.
