Chicago Pneumatic T022039 Pneumatic Cutoff Grinder Tool

Product Description

The CHICAGO PNEUMATIC T022039 is a pneumatic cutoff and grinding tool designed for high-speed cutting and surface work in professional trade and industrial settings. Powered by compressed air, it spins a 2.875-inch wheel at up to 20,000 RPM, delivering fast, consistent material removal on metal, fiberglass, and similar substrates. Air supply connects through a 0.25-inch inlet, and the tool draws 8.50 SCFM at a regulated pressure of 90 psi. At 2.7 pounds, it is light enough for extended overhead or confined-space use. Installers in HVAC, mechanical, and general fabrication trades will find this tool well-suited to day-to-day cutting tasks on the bench or in the field.

This tool is suited for residential and commercial mechanical work where compact pneumatic cutoff capability is required. Typical applications include cutting metal conduit, pipe, sheet metal, and structural steel in fabrication or service environments. The straight-handle configuration gives the operator a stable, in-line grip for controlled plunge and cutoff cuts. It connects to any standard shop air supply capable of maintaining 90 psi and adequate flow volume.

Key Features

• 20,000 RPM free speed for fast, clean cuts on metal and similar materials
• 2.875-inch wheel diameter compatible with standard pneumatic cutoff wheels
• 8.50 SCFM air consumption at 90 psi for consistent performance with a properly sized compressor
• 0.25-inch air inlet fits standard pneumatic quick-connect fittings
• Straight-handle design provides in-line grip control for precise cutoff work
• Lightweight at 2.7 pounds, reducing fatigue during extended use

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style pneumatic cutoff and grinder tool compatible with standard 2.875-inch pneumatic cutoff wheels and 0.25-inch NPT air supply lines.

Installation Notes

This tool is installed and operated by mechanics, pipefitters, HVAC technicians, and general tradespeople working with compressed air systems. Before connecting or disconnecting the tool, depressurize and bleed the air line. Verify the supply pressure does not exceed the rated 90 psi and that the compressor or distribution system can sustain 8.50 SCFM to avoid speed drop under load. Always install the correct wheel type and size, and inspect the wheel for cracks or damage before each use in accordance with ANSI B7.1 safety standards for abrasive wheels.
