Cleco 236GLF-250-C4 Inline Grinder | 236 Series | 0.6 HP | 25,000 RPM | 1/4" Collet | Aluminum Housing | Front Exhaust

Built for burr work, edge cleanup, weld blending, and metal detail grinding, the Cleco 236GLF-250-C4 inline grinder combines 0.6 HP output with a 25,000 RPM free speed for fast material removal using compatible carbide burrs. The 1/4" collet accepts common industrial burr shanks, while the inline body gives operators straight-on control for deburring holes, cleaning castings, and refining machined edges. A front exhaust configuration directs air forward, which can be helpful when keeping exhaust away from the operator’s hand position during bench, fixture, or part-in-hand grinding.

The 236 Series is built around an aluminum housing and 200 Series collet platform for demanding shop environments such as shipbuilding, foundries, and metal fabrication. At 1.4 lb and 6.8" long, this inline grinder offers a compact power-to-size balance for production deburring, maintenance grinding, and general material removal where a straight grinder is easier to control than an angle-head tool.

Applications:

• Metal fabrication — deburring plate edges, cleaning torch-cut profiles, and blending small weld areas with carbide burrs.
• Foundry and casting cleanup — removing flash, refining parting lines, and cleaning tight casting features.
• Shipbuilding and heavy repair — localized grinding on brackets, fittings, frames, and repair areas where a compact inline tool is easier to position.
• Industrial maintenance and MRO — preparing worn edges, cleaning bores, and touching up machinery parts during repair work.
• Machine shops and tool rooms — removing burrs from drilled holes, milled pockets, and machined edges before assembly or inspection.

FAQs:

• Q: What accessories can be used with the Cleco 236GLF-250-C4?
  A: This model is specified for a 1" carbide burr capacity and uses a 1/4" collet. Always verify that the burr shank matches the collet and that the accessory’s maximum operating speed is equal to or greater than 25,000 RPM.
• Q: What does front exhaust mean on this grinder?
  A: Front exhaust means spent air exits toward the front of the tool. This configuration may be preferred when rear exhaust would interfere with the operator’s grip area, hose routing, or nearby work surfaces.
• Q: Is this a die grinder or a wheel grinder?
  A: The 236GLF-250-C4 is an inline die grinder-style tool for carbide burr work. It is not specified as a Type 1 or Type 27 wheel grinder, so use only compatible accessories within the manufacturer’s stated abrasive capacity.
• Q: What air hose size should be used?
  A: Cleco specifies a minimum hose I.D. of 5/16" / 7.9 mm for this model. Using undersized hose can reduce airflow and prevent the grinder from maintaining proper speed under load.
