Cleco 236GLSB-135A-W3T4 Extended Head Right Angle Grinder | 236 Series | 0.8 HP | 13,500 RPM | Aluminum Housing | Side Exhaust

Built for weld cleanup, cut-off wheel work, and controlled material removal in tight production spaces, the Cleco 236GLSB-135A-W3T4 extended head right angle grinder combines a 236 Series pneumatic motor with 13,500 RPM free speed for fast cutting and edge work with properly rated abrasives. Its right angle configuration places the wheel at 90 degrees to the tool body, helping mechanics, fabricators, and maintenance teams reach around fixtures, frames, and workpiece edges where a straight grinder may not fit. The side exhaust directs spent air away from the front of the tool path, while the aluminum housing keeps the grinder light enough for repeated handling during shift work.

The extended head provides additional reach for recessed areas, guards, brackets, and fabricated assemblies. With 4" Type 1 wheel capacity and a 3/8"-24 external thread, this model is configured for reinforced Type 1 cut-off wheels used for straight cutting and narrow kerf material removal. It's 1/4" NPT air inlet supports standard industrial air line connections when paired with a properly sized hose, regulator, and lubricated air supply.

• 4" Type 1 wheel capacity suits cut-off work, edge cleanup, and narrow-access material removal tasks.
• 3/8"-24 external thread provides the wheel mounting configuration specified for this model.
• Aluminum housing helps reduce tool weight while maintaining a durable body for shop and plant environments.
• Side exhaust directs air away from the front of the tool, helping keep airflow from blowing directly into the work area.

Applications:

• Metal fabrication: cutting tabs, trimming brackets, cleaning edges, and working around welded assemblies with 4" Type 1 wheels.
• Industrial maintenance and MRO: removing damaged fasteners, cutting small hardware, and accessing guarded or recessed machine areas.
• Automotive and fleet repair: trimming exhaust components, cutting clamps, and performing controlled repair work where reach matters.
• Foundry and casting cleanup: working around cast shapes, gates, and parting lines when a compact right angle wheel grinder is preferred.
• General shop use: cut-off wheel tasks, edge preparation, and fabrication cleanup when the abrasive speed rating matches the tool RPM.

FAQs:

• Q: What abrasive wheel should be used with the Cleco 236GLSB-135A-W3T4?
  A: This model is configured for 4" Type 1 wheels with a 3/8"-24 external thread setup. Always confirm the wheel style, diameter, mounting, thickness, and maximum RPM before use.
• Q: What does side exhaust mean on this grinder?
  A: Side exhaust means spent air exits from the side of the tool instead of the rear or front. This can help direct airflow away from the immediate cut line and may be useful when working near chips, dust, or sensitive surfaces.
• Q: Why choose an extended head right angle grinder?
  A: The extended head gives the operator additional reach into recessed or obstructed areas. It is helpful when cutting near frames, brackets, fixtures, machine guards, and fabricated structures where a standard head may not provide enough access.
• Q: Can this grinder be used with any 4" wheel?
  A: No. The wheel must match the Type 1 configuration, mounting style, and speed requirement for the tool. The abrasive accessory must be rated at or above 13,500 RPM.
• Q: What air setup should be used with this pneumatic grinder?
  A: Use a clean, dry, regulated air supply with lubrication as recommended for pneumatic tools. A properly sized Filter-Regulator-Lubricator helps maintain consistent performance and reduces premature wear.
