Cleco 236GLS-240-C4 Inline Grinder | 236 Series | 0.6 HP | 24,000 RPM | 1/4" Collet | Aluminum Housing | Side Exhaust

Built for production deburring, casting cleanup, and controlled metal removal, the Cleco 236GLS-240-C4 inline grinder combines 0.6 HP output with a 24,000 RPM free speed for fast cutting action with properly rated carbide burrs. The 1/4" collet accepts common industrial burr shanks, while the straight inline body helps operators guide the tool into bores, slots, edges, and parting lines without the offset of an angle-head grinder.

As part of the 236 Series, this model uses an aluminum housing and a side exhaust layout for applications where front or rear exhaust may interfere with the work area, fixture, or operator position. Its 1" carbide burr capacity, compact 6.8" length, and 1.4 lb weight make it a practical choice for shipyards, foundries, metal fabrication shops, and maintenance teams that need a straight grinder for repeat burr removal and surface cleanup.

Applications:

• Foundries and casting shops — removing flash, cleaning parting lines, and refining cast metal surfaces with carbide burrs.
• Metal fabrication — deburring cut edges, cleaning weld-adjacent areas, and shaping small features before finishing or assembly.
• Shipyards and rail maintenance — localized grinding on brackets, fittings, frames, and repair components where a compact inline grinder is easier to control.
• Industrial maintenance and MRO — preparing worn parts, cleaning bores, and touching up machinery components during repair work.
• Machine shops and tool rooms — removing burrs from drilled holes, milled pockets, slots, and machined edges after cutting operations.

FAQs:

• Q: What is the Cleco 236GLS-240-C4 used for?
  A: It is an inline pneumatic grinder used primarily with carbide burrs for deburring, edge cleanup, casting cleanup, and localized metal removal. The straight body layout is useful when the operator needs direct, in-line control over the burr.
• Q: What does side exhaust mean on this grinder?
  A: Side exhaust means spent air exits from the side of the tool. This can be helpful when front exhaust would blow toward the work surface or rear exhaust would interfere with the operator’s hand position or hose routing.
• Q: Can this grinder use mounted wheels?
  A: The catalog listing for this SKU specifies a 1" carbide burr abrasive capacity. Do not assume mounted wheel compatibility unless the mounted wheel is approved for the tool, fits the collet, and is rated for at least 24,000 RPM.
• Q: What air supply setup should be used?
  A: Cleco rates this tool at 90 PSI / 620 kPa and specifies a minimum hose I.D. of 5/16" / 7.9 mm. A properly sized FRL helps keep the air clean, regulated, and lubricated for consistent tool performance.
