Product Description
- 3M™ Gripping Material reduces vibration and enhance operator comfort
- Steel guard often repositioned for better visibility
- Side handle may be removed or repositioned to accommodate right-hand or left-hand use
- Exhaust systems direct exhaust air away from workpiece and operator for reduced surface contamination and optimal operator comfort and safety
Having the right tool system for the job is an essential part of any application. We engineered our 3M™ Grinder 28824 to power abrasives and accessories — making your cutting, grinding, blending or finishing jobs fast, easy and efficient.
Balancing Power and Comfort with 3M™ Grinder 28824
Our 3M™ Grinders work pneumatically with a reliable, high output motors — available in 1 HP and 1.5 HP. High output motors allow operators to apply significant pressure without interrupting tool performance. Hence, work gets done faster. 3M™ Gripping Material enables a firmer hold on the tool and minimizes vibration. Insulating the operator from possible hot or cold touch temperatures is also paramount. Altogether, these characteristics enhance operator comfort and control and make these lightweight, powerful tools a user-friendly option for tackling tough metalworking applications. A removable and repositionable side handle therefore means operators use the grinder right or left handed.
Grinder Variations
3M™ Grinders come in a few variations. 4″ grinders with a 3/8 – 24″ EXT thread belong in ship-building and other applications that require smaller abrasives. They’re great for weld leveling and blending, metal preparation and plasma cut clean-up. 4-1/2″ grinders with a 5/8 – 11″ EXT thread are great for metal fabrication applications including grinding, blending, weld leveling, metal prep and pipe notching. Both grinders come in standard or extended lengths. Typically, extended versions are ideal for hard-to-reach areas. Specifically, the addition of a second grip places the operator’s hand further from the grinding area for safer operation.
Use with Type 27 Abrasives
We engineered the 3M™ Grinders to be used with Type 27 wheels or discs, which generally have a depressed center. A depressed center enables the flange to sink into the abrasive, so the abrasive allows for grinding and cutting applications and not risk marring or gouging the workpiece. The accompanying steel guard on the grinder contains an open face and can be re-positioned for greater visibility of the work area. Some Type 27 abrasives contain a threaded hub that mounts directly to the grinder, while other Type 27 abrasives require flanges to mount to the tool. For optimal safety, operators should always read and follow manual safety instructions and ensure the tool’s operating speed does not exceed the maximum RPM imprinted on the tool.
Altogether, the 3M™ Grinders offer power and reliability, while designed to help you tackle your toughest metalworking applications.
