Cleco 236GLRB-135A-D3T4 Extended Head Right Angle Grinder | 236 Series | 0.8 HP | 13,500 RPM | Aluminum Housing | Rear Exhaust

Built for weld cleanup, edge grinding, and material removal in areas where a standard head grinder may not reach, the Cleco 236GLRB-135A-D3T4 extended head right angle grinder gives maintenance crews and fabricators a compact 90-degree abrasive tool with added access. Its 236 Series pneumatic motor delivers 0.8 HP and 13,500 RPM free speed, giving the grinder the speed needed for properly rated 4" depressed center wheels used in metal cleanup, weld blending, and controlled stock removal.

This model uses a rear exhaust layout, directing spent air back toward the operator end of the tool instead of the head area. That configuration can be helpful when the work zone needs to stay clear of direct exhaust flow. The aluminum housing helps keep the tool weight manageable for repeated handling, while the extended head improves reach around brackets, machine guards, frame members, and fabricated assemblies. The 3/8"-24 external thread spindle and 4" Type 27 wheel capacity match this SKU’s depressed center grinding wheel configuration.

FAQs:

• Q: What wheel type is specified for the Cleco 236GLRB-135A-D3T4?
  A: This SKU is configured for 4" Type 27 depressed center wheels. Confirm wheel diameter, mounting style, guard compatibility, and maximum RPM before installing any abrasive.
• Q: What does rear exhaust change during use?
  A: Rear exhaust directs spent air toward the back of the grinder rather than out near the head. This can help keep airflow away from the immediate grinding area, depending on operator position and workstation layout.
• Q: Why would I choose an extended head grinder instead of a standard head model?
  A: The extended head provides extra reach when working around guards, fixtures, frames, and recessed welds. It is useful when the abrasive wheel needs to reach into a work area without the motor housing contacting nearby obstructions.
• Q: Can I use Type 1 cut-off wheels on this model?
  A: This model is listed with a Type 27 wheel configuration. Use only abrasive accessories and guarding arrangements confirmed as compatible with the tool by the manufacturer.
• Q: What air preparation is recommended for this grinder?
  A: Use clean, dry, regulated air and proper lubrication for pneumatic tool operation. A Filter-Regulator-Lubricator helps control pressure, remove moisture, and deliver oil mist to the tool.
