Built for deburring and finish grinding in recessed areas, the Dotco 12L1112-36 Inline Extended Grinder combines a 5" extension with a compact inline body so users can reach into cavities, ports, fixtures, and tight metalwork without moving to a bulkier grinder. Its 0.3 HP / 0.22 kW pneumatic motor and 25,000 RPM free speed are suited for controlled material removal with properly rated carbide burrs, mounted points, and mounted wheels.
As part of the Dotco 12-11 Series, this front-exhaust extended die grinder uses a 1/4" 300 Series collet, making it compatible with common industrial finishing accessories within the manufacturer’s rated abrasive capacity. The composite housing helps keep the tool weight to 1.3 lbs / 0.59 kg, while multiple industrial bearings support balance and low vibration during detailed grinding, blending, and edge cleanup work.

Applications:
- Fabrication and welding shops — cleaning weld details, removing burrs, and blending small metal surfaces after cutting or fitting.
- Tool and die work — reaching into pockets, cavities, mold details, and fixture areas where standard-length grinders may not provide access.
- Foundry and casting cleanup — removing flash, parting-line burrs, and small surface imperfections on cast components.
- Transportation and fleet maintenance — dressing brackets, housings, repair patches, and tight mechanical surfaces during service work.
- Automotive and garage repair — port cleanup, gasket-area preparation, and general deburring when paired with a properly rated accessory.
FAQs:
- Q: What is the main difference between this model and the 28,000 RPM version?
A: The 12L1112-36 runs at 25,000 RPM, while the 12L1101-36 runs at 28,000 RPM. Both are 0.3 HP 12-11 Series extended grinders with 1/4" collets, but accessory speed rating and the user’s preferred grinding feel should guide the final selection. - Q: What does the 5" extension help with?
A: The extended housing gives the operator additional reach into cavities, ports, recesses, and other areas where a standard inline die grinder may be too short to reach comfortably. - Q: Which accessories fit the Dotco 12L1112-36?
A: This grinder uses a 1/4" collet and is rated for a 1/2" carbide burr or 1" mounted wheel. Any accessory used must fit the collet correctly and be rated at or above 25,000 RPM. - Q: Is this grinder supplied with a collet and wrenches?
A: Yes. Manufacturer product information lists the applicable collet and collet wrenches as standard equipment. - Q: What air setup should be used with this tool?
A: Cleco rates tool performance at 90 PSI / 620 kPa, and the listed minimum hose I.D. is 1/4". Use clean, regulated, lubricated air and avoid undersized hoses that can restrict tool performance.
