Cleco 4060AVL-07 Vertical Grinder | 4060 Series | 4.0 HP | 6,000 RPM | Side Exhaust

Built for weld grinding, plate cleanup, and heavy metal fabrication work, the Cleco 4060AVL-07 Vertical Grinder delivers 4.0 HP / 3.1 kW of pneumatic power with a 6,000 RPM free speed for running 7" / 180 mm Type 27 grinding wheels. A vertical grinder places the motor above the abrasive for firm downward control, helping operators remove material from large surfaces, weldments, castings, and repaired metal structures more efficiently than with smaller die grinders or compact angle grinders.

Part of Cleco’s 4060 Series, the 4060AVL-07 uses a 5/8"-11 external thread spindle, side exhaust, and an aluminum housing to support industrial grinding tasks while keeping the tool manageable at 11.1 lb / 5.0 kg. Cleco rates the tool at 90 PSI / 620 kPa and specifies a 3/4" / 19 mm minimum hose I.D., which matters because high-power pneumatic grinders need sufficient airflow to maintain speed under load.

Applications:

• Metal fabrication — grinding weld seams, removing excess material, and preparing structural steel or plate for finishing.
• Heavy equipment repair — dressing repaired frames, buckets, brackets, guards, and welded machinery components.
• Foundry and casting cleanup — removing flash, risers, rough edges, and surface defects when paired with the correct Type 27 abrasive.
• Industrial maintenance and MRO — cleaning worn metal surfaces, resurfacing parts, and preparing machinery components for repair or coating.
• Shipyard, rail, and large-structure work — removing scale, weld buildup, and surface imperfections from larger fabricated assemblies.

FAQs:

• Q: What wheel size does the Cleco 4060AVL-07 use?
  A: This model is specified for 7" / 180 mm Type 27 grinding wheels. The abrasive wheel must match the tool, guard, spindle, and maximum speed requirements.
• Q: What does Type 27 mean?
  A: Type 27 refers to a depressed-center grinding wheel shape commonly used for weld grinding, beveling, and surface preparation. It is different from a Type 11 cup wheel, so the correct wheel type should be verified before use.
• Q: What air hose should be used with this grinder?
  A: Cleco specifies a 3/4" / 19 mm minimum hose I.D. for this tool. A smaller hose may restrict airflow and reduce the grinder’s ability to maintain speed during heavy grinding.
• Q: Does this grinder include accessories?
  A: Cleco lists the standard equipment as wheel guard, adapters, spindle wrenches, operating instructions, and service manuals. Grinding wheels should be selected separately for the material and application.
• Q: Is this the right grinder for light deburring or small garage projects?
  A: The 4060AVL-07 is a high-power vertical grinder for larger metal removal work. For light deburring, tight-space cleanup, or small automotive tasks, a die grinder or smaller angle grinder may be more practical.
