Cleco 236GLR-115A-D5T45 Heavy Duty Head Right Angle Grinder | 236 Series | 0.9 HP | 11,500 RPM | Aluminum Housing | Rear Exhaust

Built for metal fabrication, weld cleanup, and shop grinding work, the Cleco 236GLR-115A-D5T45 Heavy Duty Head Right Angle Grinder combines a 0.9 HP pneumatic motor with 11,500 RPM free speed for controlled material removal using 4.5" Type 27 depressed-center grinding wheels. The right-angle head helps position the wheel against welds, edges, and flat stock where a straight grinder would be awkward, while the rear exhaust routes spent air away from the work area and operator.

This 236 Series Cleco grinder uses an aluminum housing to balance durability with manageable tool weight in production and repair environments. The 5/8"-11 external spindle matches common 4.5" Type 27 wheel hardware, and the heavy-duty angle head supports grinding, blending, and edge preparation where wheel access and tool control both matter.

Features:

• 0.9 HP pneumatic motor provides the power needed for grinding, weld blending, deburring, and edge preparation on metal workpieces.
• 11,500 RPM free speed supports efficient abrasive cutting action when paired with a properly rated 4.5" Type 27 wheel.
• Right-angle heavy duty head improves access to flat surfaces, weld seams, corners, and confined work areas where inline grinders are harder to control.
• Rear exhaust directs air away from the work surface to help keep grinding dust and debris from blowing forward during operation.
• Rugged and durable aluminum housing helps the tool withstand repeated use in fabrication, maintenance, and repair settings.
• 5/8"-11 external spindle fits common threaded wheel hardware for 4.5" Type 27 depressed-center grinding wheels.
• Standard equipment includes wheel guard and flange wrench for proper setup and wheel changes.

Applications:

• Metal fabrication shops — grinding weld beads, cleaning cut edges, and preparing steel parts before finishing or assembly.
• Industrial maintenance and MRO — removing surface defects, dressing repaired components, and handling general shop grinding tasks.
• Welding repair work — blending welds, smoothing transitions, and preparing joints for inspection or repainting.
• Automotive, fleet, and equipment repair — grinding brackets, frames, panels, and fabricated repair parts where a 4.5" wheel is appropriate.
• Machine and job shops — deburring machined parts, shaping small fabrications, and cleaning workpieces before final finishing.

FAQs:

• Q: What wheel size does the Cleco 236GLR-115A-D5T45 use?
  A: This model is specified for 4.5" Type 27 depressed-center grinding wheels. Always confirm the wheel’s arbor, mounting style, and maximum RPM rating before installation.
• Q: What does Type 27 mean on a grinder wheel?
  A: Type 27 refers to a depressed-center grinding wheel. The recessed center helps provide clearance for grinding at practical working angles while keeping the wheel properly supported by the grinder hardware.
• Q: Is this a die grinder or a wheel grinder?
  A: This is a right angle wheel grinder, not a collet-style die grinder. It is intended for Type 27 grinding wheels rather than carbide burrs or mounted points.
• Q: Why choose rear exhaust?
  A: Rear exhaust routes spent air away from the wheel and work surface, which can help keep debris from being blown directly into the grinding area. It is especially useful when working near loose dust, chips, or finished surfaces.
• Q: What air setup should be used with this grinder?
  A: Cleco rates the 236 Series tools at 90 PSI / 620 kPa and specifies a 1/2" minimum hose I.D. for this tool family. Use a properly sized air supply and FRL to maintain tool performance during continuous grinding work.
