When compact cut-off work requires a larger wheel format than 3" cut-off tools provide, the AIRCAT 6560 4" Composite Cut-Off Tool gives technicians a pneumatic cutting tool for sheet metal, rolled steel, brackets, clamps, fasteners, repair sections, and maintenance hardware. Its 1.0 HP motor and 14,000 RPM free speed support use with compatible properly rated 4" cut-off wheels. The 4" wheel size provides added cutting reach compared with smaller 3" cut-off tools, making this model useful for automotive repair, body shop work, fabrication, equipment service, and MRO cutting tasks.
At 1.80 lbs. and 9.50" long, the 6560 provides a manageable composite-body format for repeated cutting work while offering more wheel diameter than the AIRCAT 6505, 6515, 6520, 6530, and 6525-A 3" cut-off tools. AIRCAT lists this model with single reduction gearing, rear exhaust, 4.2 CFM air consumption, and patented silencing technology that reduces operating noise to 89 dBA. The composite grip and throttle trigger support operator comfort during shop cutting, trimming, and repair-preparation work.

Applications:
- Automotive repair: Cutting panels, clamps, brackets, exhaust hardware, fasteners, and repair sections where a 4" cut-off wheel provides useful reach.
- Body shop work: Making controlled cuts in compatible sheet metal before fitting, sanding, grinding, welding, or replacement work.
- Fabrication tasks: Trimming light metal stock, cutting small sections, and preparing localized areas before welding or finishing.
- Equipment service: Removing damaged guards, covers, clamps, brackets, and compact service hardware during repair and maintenance work.
- MRO and shop maintenance: Supporting cut-off work on fixtures, housings, panels, repair parts, and general maintenance components where a 4" wheel format is appropriate.
FAQs:
- Q: What is the AIRCAT 6560 best used for?
A: The AIRCAT 6560 is best used for compact cut-off work with compatible 4" wheels. Common uses include automotive repair, body shop cutting, fabrication cleanup, equipment service, and MRO cutting tasks. - Q: How is the AIRCAT 6560 different from AIRCAT 3" cut-off tools?
A: The AIRCAT 6560 uses a 4" wheel and is listed with a 1.0 HP motor and 14,000 RPM free speed. AIRCAT 3" cut-off tools use smaller wheels and different speed, access, and configuration options depending on the model. - Q: What wheels can I use with this cut-off tool?
A: Use compatible properly rated 4" cut-off wheels that match the tool's 14,000 RPM free speed and cutting application. Always follow the wheel manufacturer's mounting, speed, and safety instructions. - Q: What does single reduction gearing mean?
A: Single reduction gearing uses one gear reduction stage to transfer motor output to the wheel. On the 6560, this supports the 4" wheel format and 14,000 RPM operating speed. - Q: What air hose size should I use with the AIRCAT 6560?
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.
