AIRCAT Pneumatic Tools 6280 .75 HP Angle Die Grinder with Spindle Lock 18,000 RPM

This thing is quite larger than the more compact angle die grinders I'm used to, but I'm not disappointed. At first I was cautious based on another review that the spindle lock broke apart within a week, but now I'm really curious how that reviewer managed to do that because I don't go easy on it but it remains locked very firmly every time I tighten it down.It's quieter than usual angle grinders, and the rear exhaust port is one of the best features. I'm sick of having oil splatter all over what I'm working on after oiling regular front exhaust die grinders. It feels like it has plenty of power and feels quite efficient with the air usage. Keep in mind the chuck in the spindle is different from regular die grinders, if you have plans of trying to adapt 1/8 or other things to it. I only use it for wire brushing and it works great for that. The chuck itself though does seem much better designed than regular die grinders and grips/releases the 1/4" shaft wire brushes I use much better. I'm used to them either working loose or getting jammed in the die grinder on typical die grinders.Aircat is part of Florida Pneumatic and I have their impact gun and ratchet too. Haven't had any issues with their tools, and they seem either same if not better than IR, Chicago Pneumatic, and other similar manufacturers.

I am really happy with the air cat tools I have bought. They are quiet, powerful, comfortable, and well built. They are a great value and my go to for air tools.

I enjoy tinkering in my garage and have used quite a few angle grinders for metal prep and the Aircat is by far the quietest one I have used. I have only used it 2 or 3 times now and it has plenty of power for most metal prep work, is way quieter than any other cheap tool store grinders and transmits very little vibration into your hands. It is also not bad on air consumption either, my old 1960's era craftsman 5hp 2 stage compressor had no problems keeping up. Where some of the cheaper ones I have used I would have to stop and wait for that same compressor to build pressure. Highly recommend it.

I have owned this grinder for 5 years now. I work in a machine shop/weld shop. Have had zero issues with it. Has good power. I run everything from burr bits to cut off wheels, 2" and 3" roll loc pads. Wire wheels. Works great. Just give it a couple drops of oil every day and shoot some grease in the 90 degree head about once a month. Works flawless and is a alot more quite then the little cheap one for 20 bucks. I'd recommend.

Bought this for the spindle lock function, took a gamble since the images never actually showed it. However, this works pretty well and isn’t too loud yet it’s pretty powerful. Handle is pretty thick, didn’t think it would feel comfortable, buts it’s actually quite nice.

This grinder is a amazing. It’s got plenty of power and it’s fairly quiet compared to a “normal” die grinder. But above all, the spindle lock is a game changer. You can actually change tools, easily.The speed control is knob! You can actually use the speed control as you as working with the tool.I just went ahead and trashed my HF version. This is a major upgrade from a normal grinder. Just get one. You won’t regret it.

Tool works as described but an issue with shipping left me high and dry for three weeks

lots of power in a small package. the bearings and the motor feel very smooth.
