Product Overview The 3M™ Pneumatic Angle Grinder 88566 is a right-angle, industrial-grade pneumatic grinder designed for grinding, blending, finishing and cutting with 4-1/2 in to 5 in discs. Featuring a high-output 1.5 HP pneumatic motor and a maximum speed of 12,000 rpm, this tool delivers consistent performance under continuous pressure while maintaining operator control and visibility.

Key Marketing Messages Engineered for industrial productivity and operator comfort. The redesigned tool is lighter and ergonomically improved to reduce fatigue. The adjustable steel guard and rear-mounted exhaust improve visibility and keep exhaust away from the workpiece. When used as part of a system with premium abrasives (e.g., 3M™ Cubitron™ II Fibre Discs, flap discs, bonded wheels), the grinder helps optimize cut rate, abrasive life and surface consistency.
