Cleco 2260AGL-06 High Performance Right Angle Grinder | 2260 Series | 2.2 HP | 8,400 RPM | 2.9" Head | Aluminum Housing

Built for high-rate weld grinding, bevel preparation, casting cleanup, and heavy material removal, the Cleco 2260AGL-06 right angle grinder gives fabrication and maintenance teams a powerful pneumatic option for 6" abrasive work. Its 2.2 HP vane motor provides sustained grinding force for jobs that would overload smaller die grinders or light angle tools, while the 8,400 RPM free speed supports productive stock removal when paired with properly rated Type 27, Type 27/42, or Type 27/29 abrasives. The 6" abrasive capacity gives operators more wheel contact area than compact 4" and 4-1/2" grinders, helping cover weld seams, plate edges, and cast surfaces efficiently.

Part of the Cleco 2260 Series, the 2260AGL-06 features an aluminum housing, 5/8"-11 external thread spindle, 2.9" head height, and 1/2" air inlet. The right angle head positions the abrasive wheel perpendicular to the tool body, giving operators better access to flat surfaces, corners, weldments, and structural components. A safety lock throttle lever, industrial governor, dual auxiliary handle positions, and CAGI-compliant guard system support controlled operation in production grinding environments.

Applications:

• Structural steel fabrication — grinding weld beads, preparing plate edges, cleaning torch-cut surfaces, and blending heavy steel components.
• Shipyard and rail maintenance — removing scale, cleaning repair welds, and working on large assemblies where a 6" pneumatic grinder provides useful coverage.
• Foundry and casting cleanup — reducing gates, risers, flash, and surface imperfections on cast metal parts.
• Industrial MRO departments — cutting down damaged edges, cleaning machinery frames, and preparing metal surfaces before repair welding or coating.
• Heavy equipment repair — grinding brackets, buckets, frames, and wear plates during rebuild and field service work.

FAQs:

• Q: What size grinding wheel does the Cleco 2260AGL-06 use?
  A: The 2260AGL-06 is specified for 6" / 150 mm abrasives. Use only compatible Type 27, Type 27/42, or Type 27/29 accessories that are rated at or above the tool’s 8,400 RPM speed.
• Q: What does the 5/8"-11 external thread mean?
  A: The spindle uses a 5/8"-11 external thread, a common grinder arbor thread for many North American abrasive accessories. Always confirm both thread fit and abrasive type before mounting an accessory.
• Q: How much air supply does this grinder require?
  A: The catalog lists 33.6 SCFM at free speed, with tool performance rated at 90 PSI. Use a compressor and air line system that can sustain the grinder’s air demand, and follow the listed 3/4" minimum hose I.D. requirement.
• Q: Is this grinder appropriate for light deburring or small burr work?
  A: This is a 2.2 HP right angle wheel grinder built for heavier material removal with 6" abrasives. For small burr work, hole deburring, or detail cleanup, a Cleco die grinder or pencil grinder would usually be the better match.
• Q: Why does the 2.9" head height matter?
  A: Head height is measured over the spindle and helps buyers judge clearance around fixtures, weldments, and tight work areas. A lower head height can make it easier to position the wheel close to corners and obstructions.
