Aircat Pneumatic Tools 6260 Composite Straight Die Grinder | 1 HP | 20000 RPM | 1/4" Collet Size | Rear Exhaust

When grinding, deburring, and finishing work calls for more power than smaller die grinders can provide, the AIRCAT 6260 1/4" Composite Straight Die Grinder gives technicians a full-size pneumatic grinder for controlled material removal. Its 1.0 HP motor and 20,000 RPM free speed support work with compatible mounted stones, carbide burrs, and properly rated rotary accessories. The 1/4" collet size accepts matching 1/4" shank accessories for edge cleanup, burr removal, gasket-surface preparation, casting cleanup, weld-detail blending, and general shop finishing.

At 1.20 lbs. and 9.25" long, the 6260 gives technicians a straight-body layout with added grip area and reach compared with compact mini grinders. The direct drive design keeps power transfer simple for high-speed finishing, while the rear exhaust directs air away from the front of the tool and work area. AIRCAT's patented quiet-tuned exhaust reduces sound output to 82 dBA, and the feather trigger helps the operator control speed during deburring, blending, and surface preparation.
