Cleco 4060AVL-06 Vertical Grinder | 4060 Series | Aluminum Housing | 4.0 HP | 6,000 RPM | Side Exhaust | Type 11

Built for aggressive metal removal in fabrication and maintenance environments, the Cleco 4060AVL-06 Vertical Grinder combines a 4.0 HP (3.1 kW) pneumatic motor with 6,000 RPM free speed to drive 6" (150 mm) Type 11 abrasive wheels for controlled grinding on large metal surfaces. Its vertical grinder layout places the motor above the wheel for stable downward pressure, making it well-suited for weld grinding, casting cleanup, bevel preparation, and heavy stock removal where smaller die grinders do not provide enough wheel capacity or torque.

The 4060 Series construction includes an aluminum housing, side exhaust, and a 5/8"-11 external thread spindle for common industrial grinding accessories. Performance is rated at 90 PSI / 620 kPa air pressure, and Cleco specifies a 3/4" minimum hose I.D. to help the tool receive enough air volume under load. Standard equipment includes a wheel guard, adapters, spindle wrenches, operating instructions, and service manuals.

Applications:

• Metal fabrication shops — grinding weld seams, preparing bevels, and removing excess material from plate, structural components, and assemblies.
• Foundry and casting cleanup — smoothing risers, parting lines, flash, and rough surfaces on ferrous and non-ferrous castings when paired with the correct Type 11 wheel.
• Industrial maintenance and MRO — resurfacing worn metal parts, cleaning machinery components, and preparing repaired surfaces for rework or coating.
• Shipyard and rail repair environments — removing scale, weld buildup, and surface defects on larger metal structures where a vertical grinder provides better wheel control.
• Heavy equipment repair — grinding brackets, frames, buckets, guards, and fabricated repair areas during rebuild or refurbishment work.

FAQs:

• Q: What abrasive wheel does the Cleco 4060AVL-06 use?
  A: This model is specified for 6" / 150 mm Type 11 abrasive wheels. Always confirm the wheel’s arbor, mounting method, and maximum RPM rating before installation.
• Q: What does Type 11 mean on a grinder?
  A: Type 11 refers to a flaring cup wheel shape used for surface grinding and material removal. The tool and guard must match the wheel type being used.
• Q: What air supply does this grinder require?
  A: Cleco rates the tool at 90 PSI / 620 kPa and specifies a 3/4" minimum hose I.D. Using undersized hose can restrict airflow and reduce grinding performance.
• Q: Does the 4060AVL-06 include the grinding wheel?
  A: The catalog lists standard equipment as wheel guard, adapters, spindle wrenches, operating instructions, and service manuals. Abrasive wheels should be selected separately to match the job and tool speed.
• Q: Is this grinder suitable for small garage work?
  A: This is a high-power vertical grinder intended for larger metal removal jobs. For light deburring, small automotive work, or tight-space grinding, a die grinder or angle die grinder may be a better fit.
