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.
