Product Overview:

Description

Eastwood Pneumatic Reversible Cut-Off Tool gets into tight areas.

  • Forward and reverse cutting direction

  • 14,000 RPM
  • 1/4" air inlet
  • Requires 7.1 cfm of air at 90psi

Unique, low-profile cutting-head cut off tool design lets you work the tool into tight areas to cut bolts, brackets, sheet metal, rod and for general metal fabrication.

4" extended reach cut off tool does not come with cut off wheels. We suggest purchasing the 4in Metal Cut-Off Wheel 1/16th. x 5/8 Arbor - 5pk. The #51680 utilizes 4” x 3/8” Arbor or 4” x 5/8” Arbor, minimum 15,000 RPM.

A must have in any shop

This pneumatic cut off tool is a must in any shop doing restoration projects or other metal fabrication. You'll use it for cutting patch panels, fabricating steel plate, removing damaged frame sections or simply cutting rusted bolts free. Finger-controlled knob offers "on the fly" speed adjustment that reduces wheel hop and prolongs cutting life by adjusting the speed to the type and thickness of material being cut.

Reversible Cutting Direction

One of the most important features is the reversible cutting direction. If you've ever used a grinder or cut-off tool where you could not control in which direction the sparks fly, you'll appreciate the ability here to reverse the cutting direction to send sparks away from you. No longer will you have to reposition your body and head at awkward angles to avoid spark contact—simply flip the switch and the sparks fly 180 degrees away from you, others or flammable objects.

Go where ordinary saws and grinding wheels can’t by ordering this reversible air cutting tool. It uses a 4-inch metal cut-off wheel (sold separately) to carve through steel and aluminum. We designed it with a 15-inch long reach to fit into wheel wells, engine bays and other tight areas. Since the wheel can spin in both forward and reverse, the user has full control over where the sparks fly, which improves shop safety. Other practical features include adjustable speed control, a low-profile cutting head and a 45-degree rotating safety guard.

Our Pneumatic Extended Reach Metal Cut-Off Tool is the fastest way to cut old bolts, rods and brackets that can’t be removed otherwise. It’s also a good tool for removing rusty sheet metal or doing general fabrication. The tool requires just 7.1 CFM of air using a ¼-inch NPT inlet. Watch the demonstration videos above or call Eastwood’s tech experts to learn more about how this tool helps you Do the Job Right. It comes with a one-year warranty and 100% customer satisfaction guarantee.

Reviews

Rated 4 out of 5 by from So far so good Got this a few weeks ago and so far so good, I love the reverse feature. My only complaints would be that it doesn't seem to be quite as powerful as the Aircat and that the gears in the cutting head seem to be unusually noisy for a brand new tool. I've sent multiple emails about this with no reply so that's a little disappointing, hopefully it lasts.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Nice but an air hog It is a tool I needed to make these types of cuts. It does require a bigger compressor though because it's an air hog! The reverse feature is why I bought this particular one.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Good tool but low on power IO love the access this gives me but it seems to be a little light on power. It does the job just little slower.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Nice tool, but wth some nits to pick This is a very well constructed, quality tool. I bought it specifically for the reverse feature. Using my other extended reach tool it always seemed that whenever I was in a tight space the blade rotation was inconvenient. This tool solves that problem nicely. My nits are: 1) The safety stop on the trigger is not convenient and nearly requires two hands to move it out of the way before depressing it. I knocked out the roll pin and removed it. Problem solved but you need to take care when setting down the tool after use. 2) The head is kind of big, limiting the depth of cut. My 3" extended reach tool has a comparable depth of cut due to its smaller head.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Great tool Really a great tool I use it all the time. I ordered one and it seemed like the bearings whistled so I contacted Eastwood and they sent me another one free of charge, best thing is, now I have my good one at work and my half decent one at home! Thanks again guys

Rated 4 out of 5 by from I like the flat grinding head Not 90 degree angle Had two of these ,They lasted for 3 years each, loved them I just wore them out. The last one I bought would not shut off after a few days use.they replaced it free and that one did the same thing. They replaced that one and I have not used it yet. I do like the tool and hope this one is better.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from WHY AREN'T ALL CUT-OFF TOOLS REVERSABLE? MY FIRST TASK WITH THIS TOOL WAS TO CUT A PIVOT ARM OFF A SEMI TRAILER AXLE-WHAT A TIME SAVER. THE TOOL HAS GOOD TORQUE AND A SMOOTH FEEL WHEN RUNNING. THE CUT OFF WHEELS ARE ALSO INEXPENSIVE. IT GETS BORROWED A LOT IN THE TRUCK ALIGNMENT SHOP I WORK IN.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Don't buy this tool because Eastwood want stand be I purchased this tool had it for about six months or so, used it about 6-7 times. It slipped out of my hand and hit the floor and broke in half, I called Eastwood and they said they would not stand behind it because it was past their 90 day warranty. Have bought a lot of stuff from Eastwood, but that will be the last piece I ever buy from them. The tool was like new, hardly used. Don't stand behind their product.
