For grinding and material removal operations that require additional reach with a threaded abrasive mounting configuration, the Ingersoll Rand M2X180RH63 M2 Series Extended Straight Grinder combines a 1 HP motor with 18,000 RPM free speed, a 3/8"-24 threaded spindle, and rear exhaust. The extended straight configuration helps operators reach recessed surfaces, internal features, and difficult-access work locations, while the threaded spindle allows the tool to be matched with compatible abrasive accessories and mounting hardware.
The Ingersoll Rand M2X180RH63 provides the added reach of the M2X extended configuration with a threaded output arrangement instead of the 1/4-inch collet used on RG4 variants. Its 18,000 RPM operation supports compatible grinding and surface preparation processes when the selected abrasive accessory, mounting hardware, dimensions, and speed rating match the tool requirements. Rear exhaust routes discharged air toward the back of the grinder, helping keep the exhaust stream away from the immediate abrasive contact area and operator interface.
Type: Extended Straight Grinder | Model: M2X180RH63 | Series: M2 Series | Motor Power: 1 HP | Free Speed: 18,000 RPM | Spindle Thread: 3/8"-24 | Exhaust: Rear
Features:
- 1 HP pneumatic motor provides power for compatible grinding, material removal, blending, and surface preparation operations.
- 18,000 RPM free speed supports fast abrasive action when the grinder is paired with properly rated accessories and mounting hardware.
- Extended straight configuration provides additional reach for recessed surfaces, internal features, and difficult-access work locations.
- 3/8"-24 threaded spindle supports compatible abrasive accessories and mounting components designed for the specified thread configuration.
- Threaded output arrangement provides an alternative to collet-mounted M2X grinder configurations for applications requiring compatible threaded accessory mounting.
- Rear exhaust directs discharged air toward the back of the tool and away from the immediate abrasive contact area.
- Pneumatic operation supports repeated grinding tasks when supplied with clean, regulated, and properly conditioned compressed air.
Applications:
- Metal fabrication — removing material and preparing surfaces in recessed or obstructed work areas that benefit from the extended grinder configuration.
- Foundry and casting operations — cleaning compatible cast surfaces, internal features, recesses, and other accessible casting areas.
- Weld finishing — grinding and blending compatible weld areas where additional tool reach improves access to the workpiece.
- Equipment maintenance — performing material removal and surface preparation on machinery and components with difficult-access work locations.
- Production metalworking — supporting repeated abrasive operations where an 18,000 RPM extended straight grinder with a 3/8"-24 threaded spindle matches the accessory and process requirements.
FAQs:
- Q: What does the 3/8"-24 specification mean on the M2X180RH63?
A: It identifies the spindle thread configuration used to mount compatible abrasive accessories or mounting hardware. Confirm the accessory thread, dimensions, mounting requirements, and maximum rated speed before installation. - Q: What is the free speed of the Ingersoll Rand M2X180RH63?
A: The specified free speed is 18,000 RPM. Any abrasive accessory used with the grinder must be compatible with the spindle configuration and rated for the tool's operating speed and use conditions. - Q: How does the M2X180RH63 differ from the M2X180RG4?
A: Both supplied models are 1 HP M2 Series extended straight grinders rated at 18,000 RPM with rear exhaust. The M2X180RH63 uses a 3/8"-24 threaded spindle, while the M2X180RG4 uses a 1/4-inch collet for compatible shank-mounted abrasive accessories. - Q: What is the benefit of the extended straight configuration?
A: The extended tool layout provides additional reach for recessed surfaces, internal features, and other work locations where a standard-length grinder may not provide suitable access. - Q: What should be checked before installing an abrasive accessory?
A: Confirm the accessory and mounting hardware are compatible with the 3/8"-24 spindle thread, suitable for the application, and rated for the grinder's operating speed. Follow the tool and abrasive manufacturer's inspection, mounting, guarding, and operating instructions.
