Cleco 216GLFB-250-C4 Inline Grinder | 216 Series | 0.7 HP | 25,000 RPM | 1/4" Collet | Aluminum Housing | Front Exhaust

For fast burr work, edge cleanup, and localized metal removal, the Cleco 216GLFB-250-C4 Inline Grinder combines a compact straight-body layout with 0.7 HP power and 25,000 RPM free speed. The inline format helps operators guide the abrasive directly into the workpiece, while the 1/4" collet accepts compatible carbide burrs for deburring, porting, flash removal, and detail grinding on metal components.

Part of the 216 Series, this Cleco grinder uses an aluminum housing and a front exhaust configuration. Front exhaust vents air at the nose of the tool, which may be preferred in some straight-grinder setups where side exhaust is not desired. With a listed 3/4" carbide burr abrasive capacity, the 216GLFB-250-C4 is suited for shop environments that need a compact pneumatic grinder for foundry cleanup, fabrication work, maintenance grinding, and machined-part finishing.

• 25,000 RPM free speed supports efficient carbide burr use when the burr is properly rated for the tool speed.
• 1/4" collet accepts common compatible carbide burr shanks for general die grinder applications.
• 3/4" carbide burr abrasive capacity supports larger burr work within the listed tool rating.
• Aluminum housing provides a compact, durable body for production and maintenance environments.

Applications:

• Metal fabrication shops — deburring cut edges, cleaning drilled holes, blending weld starts and stops, and shaping small metal features.
• Foundry and casting cleanup — removing flash, smoothing parting lines, and correcting localized casting imperfections with carbide burrs.
• Industrial maintenance and MRO — grinding brackets, housings, machine guards, and replacement parts during repair work.
• Machine shops and toolrooms — cleaning machined pockets, ports, slots, and internal edges after milling or drilling operations.
• Automotive and fleet repair — detail grinding on brackets, mounts, frames, and metal components where a compact inline tool offers better control.

FAQs:

• Q: What accessories fit the Cleco 216GLFB-250-C4?
  A: This grinder uses a 1/4" collet and is listed for carbide burrs up to 3/4" capacity. Always confirm the burr shank size, burr diameter, and maximum safe operating speed before use.
• Q: What does “front exhaust” mean?
  A: Front exhaust means the tool vents air near the nose of the grinder. This differs from side exhaust models, which vent from the side of the housing, so choose the exhaust style that best fits your workspace and debris-control needs.
• Q: Is this grinder for mounted stones or carbide burrs?
  A: The listed abrasive capacity is 3/4" carbide burr, and the tool is configured with a 1/4" collet. Use only accessories that match the collet size and are rated at or above 25,000 RPM.
• Q: How is an inline grinder different from an angle die grinder?
  A: An inline grinder keeps the abrasive in line with the tool body, which works well for straight access, edge work, and direct burr control. An angle die grinder uses a 90-degree head for reaching flat surfaces or tight side-access areas.
• Q: What air supply does this Cleco grinder require?
  A: The catalog lists 27 CFM air consumption and a 1/4" air inlet. Use a properly regulated pneumatic system with clean, lubricated air to maintain grinder speed and reduce premature wear.
