Air Cut-Off Tool 18k rpm 25 cfm
The Ingersoll/Rand 326 is a general-duty air cut-off tool designed for cutting tasks in automotive and industrial settings. It delivers a free speed of 20,000 RPM and operates at a required pressure of 90 psi. This new tool suits technicians who need a lightweight option for slicing through sheet metal, bolts, or exhaust components.
Build integration needs and clearances
The tool accepts a 2 7/8 inch wheel with a maximum thickness of 1/16 inch and a 3/8 inch arbor hole, driven by a 3/8 inch spindle. It requires a 1/4 inch NPT air inlet and a minimum 3/8 inch hose to supply 25.0 CFM at full load or an average of 10.0 CFM during a 15 second run. Rear exhaust directs airflow away from the work area, while the composite handle and steel guard improve control during extended use.
Upgrade context and when to step up
Variable speed is not available, though a speed control and lever-type safety lock-off are included for consistent operation. Buyers who need adjustable RPM for delicate materials or a tool rated for heavier continuous cutting should consider a different class of air tool. The Proposition 65 notice indicates the presence of chemicals known to California to cause cancer and reproductive harm.

Questions about this item
How long can the 326 Air Cut-Off Tool run at 18k rpm before the 25 cfm air demand becomes the limiting factor?
The tool averages 10.0 CFM during a 15-second run and requires 25.0 CFM at full load, so sustained operation depends on whether your compressor can continuously deliver that volume.
What noise, heat or power characteristics appear when the 326 runs all day at 90 psi?
Rear exhaust directs airflow away from the operator, the composite handle reduces heat transfer, and the safety lock-off lever prevents accidental throttle engagement during extended use.
Which compressor fittings and hose must I already own to connect the 1/4 in NPT air inlet?
You need a compressor capable of 90 psi with a 1/4 in NPT outlet and a minimum 3/8 in ID hose to meet the tool’s flow requirements.
