Aircat Pneumatic Tools 6530 Flex Head Cut-Off Tool | 3 HP | 18000 RPM | 3" Wheel Size | Rear Exhaust

When compact cut-off work requires better access around panels, brackets, clamps, and tight repair areas, the AIRCAT 6530 3" Flex Head Cut-Off Tool gives technicians a pneumatic cutting tool with an adjustable head for more flexible positioning. Its 0.5 HP motor and 18,000 RPM free speed support use with compatible properly rated 3" cut-off wheels. The flex head design helps position the wheel where a fixed-head cut-off tool may be difficult to align, making this model useful for automotive repair, body shop work, fabrication, equipment service, and MRO cutting tasks.

The 6530 features a 3-position flex head that helps the operator approach the cut from different angles without changing tools. At 2.60 lbs. and 8.80" long, this tool balances added head adjustability with a compact cut-off format for sheet metal, rolled steel, repair sections, hardware removal, and maintenance cutting. AIRCAT lists this model with direct drive gearing, rear exhaust, 6.0 CFM air consumption, and a patented muffler design that reduces operating noise to 90 dBA.
