Cleco 236GLR-115A-W3T4 Heavy Duty Head Right Angle Grinder | 236 Series | 0.8 HP | 11,500 RPM | Aluminum Housing | Rear Exhaust

Built for cutting and grinding access in fabrication, maintenance, and repair work, the Cleco 236GLR-115A-W3T4 Heavy Duty Head Right Angle Grinder pairs a 0.8 HP pneumatic motor with 11,500 RPM free speed for use with 4" Type 1 cut-off wheels. The right-angle configuration helps position the wheel against sheet metal, brackets, tubing, and repair sections where a straight tool can be difficult to control. At the same time, the rear exhaust directs spent air away from the cutting path.

Part of the Cleco 236 Series, this grinder features a rugged aluminum housing and heavy-duty angle-head construction for repeated material-removal work in production and MRO environments. Its 3/8"-24 spindle configuration is matched to the W3T4 Type 1 wheel setup, making this model a practical choice for shops that need a compact pneumatic right-angle tool for cut-off wheel work rather than a collet-style die grinder.

Applications:

• Metal fabrication shops — cutting sheet metal, trimming brackets, and separating small fabricated sections before finishing or fit-up.
• Industrial maintenance and MRO — removing damaged hardware, cutting repair patches, and handling general shop cut-off wheel work.
• Welding and repair stations — trimming tack-welded parts, cleaning access points, and preparing components for rework.
• Automotive, fleet, and equipment repair — cutting thin-gauge metal, exhaust sections, small fasteners, and repair tabs where a compact right-angle tool is useful.
• Machine and job shops — controlled cut-off work on small stock, fixtures, and maintenance components using compatible 4" Type 1 wheels.

FAQs:

• Q: What abrasive wheel does the Cleco 236GLR-115A-W3T4 use?
  A: This model is specified for 4" / 100 mm Type 1 cut-off wheels. Always verify that the wheel is compatible with the guard, spindle configuration, and the tool’s 11,500 RPM free speed.
• Q: What does Type 1 mean?
  A: Type 1 refers to a flat cut-off wheel. It is typically used for straight cutting rather than face grinding, so the wheel should be used according to the abrasive manufacturer’s instructions.
• Q: Is this the same as a Type 27 grinding-wheel model?
  A: No. The W3T4 version is configured for 4" Type 1 cut-off wheels. Type 27 models use depressed-center grinding wheels and have different guard and wheel configurations.
• Q: Why does this model require a 1/2" minimum hose I.D.?
  A: A properly sized hose helps maintain air volume at the tool under load. Undersized hose can reduce cutting speed, slow recovery, and make the grinder feel underpowered during continuous use.
• Q: Can this grinder be used for die grinding or burr work?
  A: No. This is a right angle wheel grinder for compatible Type 1 cut-off wheels, not a collet-style die grinder for carbide burrs or mounted points.
