Aircat Pneumatic Tools 6380 Heavy Duty Angle Grinder | 2.3 HP | 12000 RPM | 5/8" - 11 Collet Size | Rear Exhaust

When grinding, weld cleanup, and surface preparation work calls for a higher-output pneumatic grinder, the AIRCAT 6380 5" Heavy Duty Angle Grinder gives technicians a powerful air tool for metal removal, edge cleanup, rust removal, and repair preparation. Its 2.3 HP motor and 12,000 RPM free speed support use with compatible, properly rated abrasive wheels for demanding shop and maintenance tasks. The 5/8"-11 spindle/collet size matches common 5" grinder wheel configurations for fabrication, automotive repair, equipment service, commercial maintenance, and MRO work.

The 6380 uses a 2.3 HP governed motor, which helps maintain operating speed under load while reducing the risk of overspeeding. At 3.97 lbs. and 9.15" long, this 5" angle grinder provides higher output than smaller pneumatic grinders while remaining compact enough for controlled hand use. AIRCAT lists this model with spiral bevel gearing, rear exhaust, a spindle lock for easier wheel changes, and a multi-positional rotational guard to help improve access while shielding the operator during grinding.

FAQs:

• Q: What is the AIRCAT 6380 best used for?
  A: The AIRCAT 6380 is best used for 5" grinding, weld cleanup, edge work, rust removal, surface preparation, and general metal finishing where a higher-output pneumatic angle grinder is needed.
• Q: What does a governed motor do?
  A: A governed motor helps regulate tool speed during operation. On the 6380, this helps maintain working speed under load while helping prevent overspeeding.
• Q: What wheels can I use with this angle grinder?
  A: Use compatible properly rated 5" abrasive wheels that match the 5/8"-11 spindle / collet size and the tool's 12,000 RPM free speed. Always follow the wheel manufacturer's safety, speed, and mounting instructions.
