Cleco 216GLF-115A-C4 Heavy Duty Head Angle Grinder | 216 Series | 0.7 HP | 11,500 RPM | Aluminum Housing | Front Exhaust

Built for burr grinding, edge cleanup, and localized material removal in fabrication and repair work, the Cleco 216GLF-115A-C4 is a 216 Series right angle pneumatic grinder with a compact heavy-duty head for controlled access around weldments, castings, and hard-to-reach metal surfaces. Its 11,500 RPM free speed helps a 1" carbide burr cut efficiently without overspeeding the accessory, while the 1/4" collet accepts common industrial carbide burrs used for deburring, blending, and shaping metal. The front exhaust directs spent air forward rather than toward the operator’s hand, and the 7.1" overall length gives the tool a compact footprint for close-quarter grinding tasks.

With a rugged aluminum housing and a right-angle head layout, this Cleco grinder is suited for metal fabrication, foundry cleanup, shipbuilding repair work, and production maintenance where straight die grinders cannot reach the work angle cleanly.

Features:

• Right angle grinder configuration improves access to edges, corners, weld toes, and confined metalworking areas where inline tools may be awkward to position.
• 1/4" collet accepts common carbide burrs for deburring, contouring, and controlled stock removal on steel, castings, and fabricated components.
• 11,500 RPM free speed provides the controlled cutting speed needed for 1" carbide burr work while helping match the tool to compatible abrasive accessories.
• Front exhaust directs air away from the grip area and helps reduce air blast toward the operator during close-position grinding.
• Rugged and durable aluminum housing supports repeated use in production, fabrication, and repair environments.
• Heavy-duty angle head construction supports burr grinding in demanding industrial metal removal work.
• Standard equipment includes the applicable collet and collet wrenches.

Applications:

• Metal fabrication and welding shops — deburring cut edges, blending weld starts and stops, and cleaning tight inside corners with carbide burrs.
• Foundry and casting cleanup — removing small gates, flash, and localized casting imperfections where a compact angle head improves control.
• Shipbuilding and repair work — grinding around brackets, frames, stiffeners, and confined steel structures where inline tools may not fit cleanly.
• Industrial maintenance and MRO — dressing worn metal surfaces, cleaning machinery components, and preparing localized areas before repair or reassembly.
• Automotive, fleet, and equipment repair — burr grinding around brackets, housings, and fabricated parts during modification or service work.

FAQs:

• Q: What accessories can be used with the Cleco 216GLF-115A-C4?
  A: This model uses a 1/4" collet and is catalog-rated for a 1" carbide burr. Use only accessories that fit the collet correctly and have a maximum operating speed equal to or greater than 11,500 RPM.
• Q: Is this a right angle grinder or a straight die grinder?
  A: It is a right angle pneumatic grinder. The angle head places the burr at 90 degrees to the tool body, which improves access along welds, inside corners, brackets, and other areas where a straight grinder may be difficult to control.
• Q: What does front exhaust mean?
  A: Front exhaust means the tool vents air toward the front of the grinder rather than through the rear of the handle. This can help keep air away from the operator’s hand position, though normal eye, face, and hearing protection are still required.
• Q: What air setup should be used with this Cleco grinder?
  A: The catalog states that Cleco grinder performance is rated at 90 PSI and calls for a 1/4" minimum hose I.D. for this 216 Series collet model. Use a properly sized air line and Filter-Regulator-Lubricator to maintain speed, lubrication, and tool life.
• Q: Can this tool be used with grinding wheels?
  A: This specific C4 collet model is listed for 1" carbide burr capacity. Do not mount accessories that are not compatible with the collet, guard requirements, and rated speed of this tool.
