Built for fixtured deburring, automated finishing stations, and controlled small-part material removal, the Dotco 10N1081-36 Inline Grinder delivers compact pneumatic grinding performance in a short straight-body package. Its 0.3 HP motor and 34,000 RPM free speed support fast cutting with properly rated carbide burrs and mounted wheels, while the 1/4" collet accepts compatible 1/4" shank rotary accessories for edge breaking, flash removal, and light blending operations.
Part of the 10-10 Series, the 10N1081-36 uses an aluminum housing to keep the tool compact and lightweight for integration into jigs, fixtures, and repetitive production setups. The rear exhaust directs discharge air away from the contact point, helping reduce chip disturbance around the work area. This model is listed with no throttle, meaning it is intended for controlled air-supply or fixtured applications rather than hand-triggered operation.

Applications:
- Fixtured production deburring — removing small burrs from repeat parts in controlled setups where the air supply governs tool start and stop.
- Die and mold repair — cleaning pockets, blending contours, and removing flash with compatible high-speed carbide burrs.
- Machine shop finishing — breaking edges, cleaning drilled holes, and touching up milled or turned features after machining.
- Industrial MRO — refining small brackets, housings, repair parts, and replacement components during equipment rebuilds.
- Fabrication and assembly support — light grinding, spot cleanup, and detail work on small metal parts before fit-up, coating, or inspection.
FAQs:
- Q: What does “throttle type: none” mean on the Dotco 10N1081-36?
A: It means this model does not use a hand lever or trigger throttle. The tool is intended for fixtured or controlled air-supply applications where it starts when air is applied. - Q: Is the 10N1081-36 suitable for handheld grinding?
A: This no-throttle model is better suited to fixtured applications. For handheld use, verify whether a lock-off lever version in the same series is more appropriate for your safety and control requirements. - Q: What accessories fit this inline grinder?
A: The 10N1081-36 uses a 1/4" collet for compatible 1/4" shank accessories. The listed abrasive capacity is 1/2" carbide burrs and 1" mounted wheels. - Q: How fast must the mounted wheel or burr be rated?
A: Any mounted wheel, burr, or abrasive accessory used on this grinder must be rated for at least 34,000 RPM. Never use an accessory with a lower maximum operating speed than the tool. - Q: What air setup is required?
A: Manufacturer data rates the tool at 90 PSI and lists a 1/4" minimum hose I.D. Air consumption was not provided in the supplied product title, so confirm compressor capacity before continuous production use.
