Cleco 236GLSC-115A-C4 Heavy Duty Head Right Angle Grinder | 236 Series | 0.8 HP | 11,500 RPM | Aluminum Housing | 1/4" Collet | Side Exhaust

When weld cleanup, casting work, or tight-area deburring calls for a compact right-angle pneumatic grinder, the Cleco 236GLSC-115A-C4 gives operators a controlled 90-degree grinding format with a 0.8 HP motor and 11,500 RPM free speed. The right-angle head positions the abrasive perpendicular to the tool body, helping the operator reach around fixtures, inside fabricated parts, and along weldments where straight grinders are difficult to control.

Part of the Cleco 236 Series Heavy Duty Head grinder family, this model uses a 1/4" collet for compatible carbide burrs and mounted wheels, making it well-suited for localized material removal, edge blending, and surface preparation on metal components. The side exhaust configuration routes spent air out the side of the tool, while the aluminum housing keeps the listed tool weight to 1.98 lb for better handling during bench, fixture, and close-quarters grinding work.

FAQs:

• Q: What accessories fit the Cleco 236GLSC-115A-C4?
  A: This grinder uses a 1/4" collet and is listed for up to a 1" carbide burr or 2" mounted wheel. Always confirm the accessory shank size, abrasive type, and maximum RPM rating before installation.
• Q: What does “side exhaust” mean on this right angle grinder?
  A: Side exhaust routes discharged air out the side of the tool rather than directly out the rear or front. This can be useful when working near fixtures, benches, or tight parts where airflow direction matters.
• Q: Can this grinder be used with cut-off wheels or saw blades?
  A: No. This is a collet-style right-angle grinder intended for compatible carbide burrs and mounted wheels. Do not mount saw blades, non-reinforced grinding wheels, or accessories that are not approved for the tool type and speed.
• Q: What air supply does this tool require?
  A: Cleco rates this tool at 90 PSI / 620 kPa and lists a minimum hose I.D. of 5/16". Use clean, regulated, lubricated air and a properly sized supply line to maintain tool performance.
• Q: Is this better than an inline die grinder for tight work?
  A: The right-angle head is useful when the operator needs the abrasive face positioned at 90 degrees to the tool body. Inline grinders are often better for straight access, while this model helps when working around corners, pockets, and obstructions.
