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

I was looking for an air die grinder that had some power behind it. I decided to pick up this model and I've now used it for about three hours stripping paint from a scissor lift using Roloc paint stripping discs. Running between 90 and 100 PSI of shop air, this thing gets it done with ease. I like the rear exit exhaust, the lower noise level, the speed adjustment knob, and the overall build quality. It is stout and a good size bigger than my IR die grinder. I add a drop of oil or two everyday that I use it, and it's running flawlessly. Most of the time I use a Milwaukee 90 degree cordless die grinder, but those don't have much to offer in terms of power. They're great for light work and portability, but there's no way they'd run a 3" paint stripping disc for more than 10 seconds before shutting down due to overload. This Aircat laughs at those discs and is a pleasure to use. Oh, I didn't mention it by it's very smooth as well. If you need power, this is a great choice. If you need the most compact air angled die grinder, then you may want to choose something else. It's not big by any means, but it is larger than most. I would purchase this again, no doubt. It will be a good tool that I bet lasts me a very, very long time.

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.

this tool works well and I am very happy with. The thing I like most is you do not need two tools to change from one tool to another. The spindle lock makes it easy

Amazing tool.for the price. Very powerful and smooth operation.

strong

Very powerful tool—5 out of 5. Ergonomics are good and very smooth and quiet operation. Supposedly the CFM requirement is 4.1 CFM @ 90psi. My compressor is rated 50% It would run for about 4 minutes with this tool, then the air compressor would kick on. The duty cycle on my compressor is 50% so the tool is w/n the 5.75 CFM range for my compressor. I use this tool in the field with industrial maintenance. This thing is an animal with a 3” flap wheel—unstoppable!

This tool does what it says it will do. Use it about 5 hours a day for the last few months. It's really quiet. Has all the power I need out of this grinder of this size. Probably get another one to use so I don't have to switch pads all the time.

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

Très puissant pour la grosseur. Elle possède un lock pour bloquer la tête, donc juste besoin d’une clé pour changer d’embout. Je l’adore depuis 1 an.

Hella beefy, perfect for mechanics, supper smooth doesn’t feel like it strong till it starts grinding have if for 2 months going really good, but I eat through wire wheel and grinding disk bc lots of power

Très bonne qualité je recommande

Probably the best die grinder I've ever used. Ive read the reviews but didn't understand until i used it and watched everything disappear behind the wire 2026 update. Its been a year. I daily this die grinder. Built in regulator but I still don't use it for precision its too strong. I regulate my IR for these Be safe when using these aircats

2 months now use - good power - good design. The spindle lock is handy and seems like it will last a long time (ie: 'long throw' engagement). Comfortable. All good. The variable speed dial works only slightly but I expected this because it just reduces / increases the air flow. Comes with a nice pamphlet that makes you want to buy other products (and I probably will).
