Built for controlled deburring, blending, and small-area material removal, the Dotco 12L2002-01LH Inline Die Grinder combines a 0.6 HP / 0.45 kW pneumatic motor with 18,000 RPM free speed for running compatible carbide burrs and mounted wheels on metal parts, tooling, fixtures, and repair work.

The 12L2002-01LH is the left-hand rotation version of the front exhaust 12-20 Series grinder. Left-hand rotation refers to the spindle rotation direction and should be matched with accessories approved for the tool’s speed and rotation. With a compact 6.9" length, 1.32 lb. tool weight, composite housing, and front exhaust configuration, this Dotco die grinder is suited to production benches, maintenance departments, fabrication shops, and precision repair stations where control and repeatability matter.

Applications:

• Metalworking and fabrication — deburring cut edges, cleaning small weld areas, and blending localized surface imperfections with compatible mounted abrasives.
• Die and mold work — shaping vents, pockets, parting lines, and detail areas where an inline grinder gives the operator direct tool control.
• Industrial maintenance and MRO — removing burrs, cleaning gasket surfaces, and preparing small repair areas on pumps, brackets, housings, and machine components.
• Automotive, fleet, and repair shops — port clean-up, bracket modification, small-part grinding, and controlled surface preparation in service bays or rebuild areas.
• Production benches and tool rooms — repeat deburring and finishing tasks where a compact 1/4" collet grinder fits the work cell better than a larger wheel grinder.

FAQs:

• Q: What does LH mean on the Dotco 12L2002-01LH?
  A: LH means Left Hand Rotation Version. Confirm that the burr, mounted wheel, or other approved accessory is rated for the tool’s 18,000 RPM speed and appropriate for the tool’s rotation direction before use.
• Q: What size accessories does this die grinder accept?
  A: This model uses a 1/4" 200 Series collet and is rated for a 3/4" carbide burr or a 1.5" mounted wheel. Do not exceed the tool or accessory speed rating.
• Q: What air supply is required?
  A: The tool is performance rated at 90 PSI / 620 kPa, uses a 1/4" NPT air inlet, and requires a minimum 1/4" / 6.4 mm hose I.D. Air consumption was not listed in the provided catalog data, so confirm compressor capacity before specifying this grinder for continuous production work.
• Q: Is this the front exhaust or rear exhaust version?
  A: This SKU is the front exhaust version. Rear exhaust models are available in the 12-20 Series when the application calls for a different exhaust direction or overhose-ready configuration.
• Q: Are collet wrenches included?
  A: Yes. The catalog lists the applicable collet and collet wrenches as standard equipment. The optional collet guard 01-2047PT is supplied separately.
