Ingersoll Rand 426 Air Cut-off Grinder 3 Inch Wheel

Product Description

The INGERSOLL RAND 426 is a straight-handle pneumatic cut-off grinder designed for metal cutting, grinding, and surface preparation in industrial and trade environments. It accepts a 3-inch abrasive wheel and operates at 90 psi shop air, making it compatible with standard air compressor setups found in automotive, fabrication, and mechanical service shops. Weighing 2 pounds, the tool is light enough for extended overhead or confined-space work. Licensed mechanics, fabricators, and ironworkers are the primary installers and users of this tool class.

The INGERSOLL RAND 426 suits a wide range of cutting and grinding applications including exhaust work, body panel trimming, weld seam cleanup, and rust removal. The straight handle configuration provides direct control when working along flat surfaces or in tight access areas. It is well suited for professional shop environments where a dedicated air supply line is available at standard line pressure.

Installation Notes

Installation and operation should be performed by qualified technicians familiar with pneumatic tool safety practices. Always depressurize and disconnect the air supply line before changing wheels or performing any service on the tool. Ensure the wheel arbor size matches the tool spindle before mounting, and inspect wheels for cracks or damage prior to each use. Eye protection and appropriate PPE are required when operating cut-off and grinding equipment.
