Extended Die Grinder for Heavy-Duty Use
The Chicago Pneumatic CP3451-18SEC is a straight die grinder built for heavy-duty material removal. It runs on compressed air and reaches a maximum speed of 18000 RPM. The aluminum body weighs 4.44 units and uses a 1/4 in collet for accessory mounting. A cone wheel adaptor and wrenches are included with the bare tool.
Suited for High-Speed Grinding, Not Low-Speed Torque
This grinder suits operators who need high rotational speed for precision deburring, porting or finishing work. The 1 hp motor delivers consistent power for extended sessions. It is not for users who require high torque at low RPM or a tool that operates without a compressed-air supply and 3/8 in NPT female connection.
3/8 in NPT Female Air Inlet Decides Compatibility
The single specification that determines fit is the 3/8 in NPT female air inlet. Your air hose and supply system must match this exact thread type and gender to operate the tool. If your supply uses a different thread standard or connection size, the grinder cannot be connected without additional adapters not supplied in the kit.

Questions about this item
How much air does the CP3451-18SEC consume when running continuously at 18000 RPM?
The tool is rated at 1 hp, so expect a steady air demand that matches a 1 hp pneumatic motor at full speed.
What size air hose and fittings must I already have to connect the 3/8 in NPT female inlet?
You need a 3/8 in NPT male fitting on your hose or quick-coupler to thread directly into the grinder's air inlet.
Will the 1/4 in collet on this grinder accept the same accessories I use on my older 1/4 in die grinders?
Yes, the 1/4 in collet is a standard size, so existing 1/4 in shank burrs, mounted points and cone wheels will fit without adapters.
