Built for precision material removal, weld cleanup, and surface finishing in confined work areas, the Dotco 12L2278-36 Right Angle Grinder combines a 0.6 HP pneumatic motor with a 14,500 RPM free speed to deliver controlled cutting and grinding performance. Its right-angle configuration improves access around fixtures, inside fabricated assemblies, and other hard-to-reach locations where straight grinders are less practical. The rear exhaust helps direct airflow away from the work surface, while the composite housing keeps overall tool weight low for improved handling during extended use.
Part of the Dotco 12-22 Series, this grinder features a low-profile angle head for increased accessibility and a 1/4" collet that accepts compatible carbide burrs and mounted wheels for deburring, die work, edge blending, and precision finishing. The balanced internal components help minimize vibration, giving operators greater control during demanding production and maintenance tasks.
