When grinding, deburring, and finishing work requires more power and more reach than standard straight die grinders provide, the AIRCAT 6270 1/4" Composite Extended Straight Die Grinder gives technicians a longer pneumatic tool for controlled material removal in recessed or obstructed work areas. 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 3.10 lbs. and 14.15" long, the 6270 combines 1.0 HP output with an extended straight-body layout for fasteners, welds, castings, brackets, housings, panels, and service points that are harder to reach with shorter grinders. The 6" extension helps position the accessory into tight areas, while the rear exhaust directs air away from the front of the tool and work surface. AIRCAT's patented silencing technology reduces operating noise to 80 dBA, and the ergonomic housing with a comfortable trigger supports better control during repeated grinding, deburring, and finishing work.
