Chicago Pneumatic T019704 Straight Air Die Grinder

Product Description

The CHICAGO PNEUMATIC T019704 is a straight air die grinder designed for precision material removal, deburring, grinding, and surface finishing in professional trade and industrial environments. Powered by compressed air at 90 psi, it delivers up to 24,000 RPM from a 0.5 hp motor, making it suitable for sustained heavy-use applications. The rear exhaust design directs airflow away from the work surface, reducing debris blowback toward the operator. Air consumption runs at 21 CFM, so pairing it with an adequately sized compressor is critical for consistent performance. Licensed trades and industrial maintenance technicians are the primary installers and users of this tool.

This die grinder fits residential and commercial maintenance, fabrication shops, and industrial service environments where controlled grinding, porting, or finishing work is required. The lever throttle provides variable speed control for operators working on detailed or sensitive surfaces. At 2.1 pounds, it is light enough for extended overhead or confined-space use. It carries CE certification, making it suitable for work sites that require compliance with applicable European standards. Typical applications include weld cleanup, port matching, gasket surface preparation, and light casting work.

Key Features

• Reaches up to 24,000 RPM for fast material removal on metal, composites, and similar materials
• Lever throttle allows controlled variable speed during precision grinding or finishing passes
• Rear exhaust routes spent air away from the work area, keeping the work surface visible and clear
• 0.5 hp output and 21 CFM air consumption deliver consistent power at 90 psi operating pressure
• Lightweight at 2.1 pounds, reducing fatigue during extended or overhead use
• CE certified for compliance with applicable safety and performance standards

Compatibility

Designed as a straight air die grinder accepting standard 1/4 inch collet tooling, compatible with common rotary burrs, mounted points, and abrasive accessories using that shank size.

Installation Notes

Installation and operation should be performed by qualified trades or trained personnel familiar with compressed air tool safety. Verify the air supply line is depressurized and the compressor is locked out before connecting or disconnecting the tool. Ensure the air supply delivers a minimum of 21 CFM at 90 psi to avoid speed drop under load. Do not exceed the rated operating pressure of 90 psi, and always fit the appropriate collet size and tool rating before operation.
