Dotco 12L1380-36 Gearless Right Angle Grinder | 12-13 Series | 0.3 HP | 30,000 RPM | 1/4" Collet | Composite Housing | Rear Exhaust

Built for high-speed deburring, edge blending, and close-quarter finishing, the Dotco 12L1380-36 Gearless Right Angle Grinder pairs a compact right-angle head with a 0.3 HP pneumatic motor and 30,000 RPM free speed for precise material removal in areas that are difficult to reach with a straight grinder. Its 1/4" collet accepts compatible carbide burrs and mounted abrasive accessories, while the gearless direct-drive design helps provide smooth power transfer with fewer drivetrain components. The composite housing reduces tool weight for better control during repeated finishing tasks.

This 12-13 Series model uses a rear exhaust configuration, directing discharged air away from the front of the tool and helping reduce air disturbance at the work surface. The 30,000 RPM speed rating makes it a strong fit for fine deburring, flash removal, small-part cleanup, and precision surface preparation when paired with accessories rated for the tool’s maximum operating speed.

FAQs:

• Q: How is the 12L1380-36 different from the 12L1300-36?
  A: Both models are listed with 0.3 HP, 30,000 RPM, 1/4" collet, and composite housing. The key difference provided is exhaust direction: the 12L1380-36 uses rear exhaust, while the 12L1300-36 uses front exhaust.
• Q: Why choose rear exhaust?
  A: Rear exhaust directs discharged air toward the back of the tool, which can help reduce airflow across the workpiece during close-detail grinding and finishing.
• Q: What accessories can be used with this grinder?
  A: This tool accepts compatible 1/4" shank carbide burrs and mounted abrasive accessories. Always verify that the accessory is rated for at least 30,000 RPM before use.
