Aircat Pneumatic Tools 6505 Composite Cut-Off Tool | 3 HP | 20000 RPM | 3" Wheel Size | Rear Exhaust

When cutting sheet metal, rolled steel, brackets, fasteners, clamps, and repair hardware requires a compact pneumatic tool, the AIRCAT 6505 3" Composite Cut-Off Tool gives technicians a lightweight air-powered option for controlled cut-off work in automotive, fabrication, maintenance, and shop environments. Its 0.5 HP motor and 20,000 RPM free speed support use with compatible properly rated 3" cut-off wheels. AIRCAT lists this model with a 3/4" rolled steel / 18 gauge cutting capacity, making it useful for small metal cutting, panel work, hardware removal, repair preparation, and general MRO tasks.

At 1.75 lbs. and 9.00" long, the 6505 is built for controlled hand use where a larger cutting tool may be difficult to position. The composite housing helps keep weight down during repeated cutting tasks, while the rear exhaust directs air away from the front of the tool and work area. AIRCATs patented quiet tuned exhaust reduces operating noise to 86 dBA, and the feather trigger helps the operator control speed during cut starts, material approach, and finishing cuts.

FAQs:

• Q: What is the AIRCAT 6505 best used for?
  A: The AIRCAT 6505 is best used for compact cut-off work with compatible 3" wheels. Common uses include cutting sheet metal, rolled steel, brackets, clamps, fasteners, repair panels, and small maintenance components.
• Q: What cutting capacity does AIRCAT list for the 6505?
  A: AIRCAT lists the 6505 with a cutting capacity of 3/4" rolled steel / 18 gauge. Actual cutting performance depends on the wheel, material, air supply, operator technique, and the condition of the tool.
• Q: What wheels can I use with this cut-off tool?
  A: Use compatible, properly rated 3" cut-off wheels that match the tool's speed and application requirements. Always follow the wheel manufacturer's mounting, speed, and safety instructions.
• Q: What does a feather trigger do?
  A: A feather trigger lets the operator modulate tool speed instead of operating only at full throttle. This helps improve control when starting a cut, entering the material, or finishing a cut near an edge.
• Q: What air hose size should I use with the AIRCAT 6505?
  A: AIRCAT lists a 3/8" recommended hose size and a 1/4" NPT air inlet for this model. Clean, regulated air helps the cut-off tool maintain proper speed, cutting performance, and service life.
• Q: Should I disconnect the air supply before changing wheels?
  A: Yes. Disconnect the air supply and air hose before changing cut-off wheels, adjusting the guard, or servicing the tool. This helps prevent accidental starts while the tool is being adjusted.
