Chicago Pneumatic 4 1/2 in Angle Air Grinder
The Chicago Pneumatic 4 1/2 in Angle Air Grinder is a heavy-duty pneumatic tool built for grinding and cutting tasks. It delivers 1.10 HP at a free speed of 12,000 RPM and accepts Type 27 wheels with a 3/8 in.-24 spindle thread. The safety lever and variable speed control support precise operation in industrial and automotive environments.
Air Supply Requirements
Verify that your compressor can deliver sufficient flow at the required pressure for a 1.1 HP air tool. The grinder connects via a 1/4 in NPT female air inlet, so confirm your hose and fittings match this connection size and thread type. Ensure the supply line is clean and dry to prevent internal contamination and premature wear.
Workshop Integration
This standard-reach angle grinder fits into existing pneumatic systems using common 1/4 in air couplers. Its safety lever reduces accidental start risk during tool changes or repositioning. Variable speed allows the operator to match RPM to the accessory and material, reducing the need for multiple single-speed grinders on the bench.

Questions about this item
Does the grinder come with a Type 27 wheel or must I buy one separately?
The tool is designed for Type 27 wheels up to 4 1/2 in diameter; a wheel is not included and must be purchased separately.
Which spindle thread matches the available wheels for this model?
The spindle uses a 3/8 in.-24 thread, so select Type 27 wheels with that same thread size.
What does the 12 000 rpm free-speed rating mean when the tool is under load?
Free speed is the no-load maximum; actual operating speed will drop below 12 000 rpm once the wheel contacts the workpiece.
