When technicians need a faster 3" cut-off tool for sheet metal, rolled steel, brackets, clamps, fasteners, and repair hardware, the AIRCAT 6515 3" Cut-Off Tool provides a compact pneumatic option for controlled cutting in automotive, fabrication, maintenance, and shop environments. Its 0.5 HP motor and 22,000 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, repair preparation, service work, and general MRO tasks.

At 1.80 lbs. and 7.60" long, the 6515 offers a shorter body than the AIRCAT 6505 while maintaining the same 3" wheel format and catalog-listed cutting capacity. The direct drive design keeps power transfer straightforward, 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 level, a safety lock-off trigger for added safety, and a low weight composite design with an aluminum guard for controlled shop use.
