Value Collection VC-PT-526SM Pneumatic Cutoff Grinder Tool

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION VC-PT-526SM is a pneumatic cutoff and grinder tool designed for metal cutting, grinding, and surface prep work in trade and industrial settings. It accepts a 3 inch wheel and spins at 22,000 RPM, driven by a compressed air supply at 90 psi. Air consumption runs at 4.00 SCFM, making it compatible with standard shop compressors. The right-angle handle positions the wheel at 90 degrees to the tool body, giving the operator better access in tight quarters. At 0.45 horsepower and 1.76 pounds, it is a lightweight tool suited for sustained use on the bench or in the field. A licensed plumber, pipefitter, HVAC technician, or general maintenance mechanic would typically reach for this tool.

This cutoff grinder is suited for residential and commercial maintenance environments where a compact, air-powered cutting or grinding tool is needed. Common applications include cutting pipe, conduit, fasteners, sheet metal, and welds. The right-angle head geometry makes it practical for confined spaces such as equipment rooms, crawlspaces, and mechanical chases. The 1/4 inch NPT inlet connects directly to standard shop air fittings and quick-connect systems. Rear exhaust keeps debris and air discharge away from the work surface and the operator. It is packaged individually and carries a minimum order quantity of one.
