Ingersoll Rand VT22-120P105 Vortex Angle Turbine Grinder | 5" Wheel Size | 5/8" - 11 Thread | 12,000 RPM

When metal fabrication work calls for rapid material removal, deeper cuts, and consistent grinding speed, the Ingersoll Rand VT22-120P105 Pneumatic Turbine Angle Grinder delivers the power needed for demanding surface preparation and cutting operations. Part of the manufacturer's VORTEX VT22 Series, this angle grinder features a 3.0 HP twin-stage turbine motor and operates at 12,000 RPM free speed. Its 5-inch grinding wheel capacity provides a compact cutting and grinding configuration, while a speed governor regulates the turbine to maintain efficient operating speed under load. The grinder also features a 0.89-inch spindle offset, allowing greater utilization of the abrasive wheel and providing a maximum cutting depth of 1.6 inches when equipped with a suitable cutting accessory.

The Ingersoll Rand VT22-120P105 incorporates a single push-button spindle lock that assists with abrasive wheel changes and guard adjustments, reducing interruptions between grinding operations. Its 5/8"-11 spindle thread accommodates correctly specified abrasive wheel mounting arrangements, while the side-handle configuration provides an additional gripping position for controlled operation. An optional top handle is also identified by the manufacturer for improved access in restricted working areas. Weighing 4.6 lbs (2.1 kg) and measuring 11.6 inches (295 mm) in overall length, the grinder combines high turbine power with maneuverability for metalworking, weld preparation, and industrial fabrication. Its 84 CFM air consumption at load requires a compressed-air system capable of sustaining the tool's substantial airflow demand.

FAQs:

• Q: What is the advantage of the VT22-120P105 twin-stage turbine motor?
  A: The grinder uses a 3.0 HP twin-stage turbine motor to provide power for material removal. Its speed governor helps maintain an efficient operating speed when grinding resistance changes, supporting more consistent wheel performance under load.
• Q: What wheel size and spindle thread does the VT22-120P105 use?
  A: The manufacturer specifies a 5-inch wheel diameter, 5/8"-11 spindle thread, and maximum wheel thickness of 1/4 inch. The operating instructions identify reinforced Type 27 grinding wheels and approved reinforced cutting wheel types. Verify the wheel's dimensions, mounting hardware, guard requirements, and maximum RPM before installation.
• Q: Can the Ingersoll Rand VT22-120P105 be used for cutting metal?
  A: Yes. Ingersoll Rand specifies a maximum cutting depth of 1.6 inches and identifies compatible reinforced cutting wheel types in the VT22 operating instructions. Cutting requires the correct wheel, guard, and mounting arrangement. Never use the side of a cut-off wheel for grinding.
• Q: How much compressed air does the VT22-120P105 require?
  A: The manufacturer specifies 84 CFM at load and 27 CFM at free speed, with performance figures based on 90 PSI air pressure. The grinder has a 1/2-inch NPTF air inlet and a recommended 1/2-inch hose. Compressor selection should prioritize adequate sustained airflow at the required pressure.
• Q: Does the VT22-120P105 require lubricated compressed air?
  A: The VT22 Series operating instructions specify oil-free air. Do not introduce an inline lubricator or oil mist without manufacturer authorization. Follow Ingersoll Rand's prescribed filtration, pressure regulation, and maintenance procedures for this turbine grinder.
