Score: 78/100Rankings
The AirCat 6255 is a pneumatic angle die grinder featuring a composite housing and patented quiet technology, designed for high-speed blending and deburring in confined spaces. It operates at 20,000 RPM with a feather trigger for precise speed control. It is best suited for noise-sensitive environments and precision work where compact size is critical.
The DeWalt DWE4887 is a corded die grinder with a 4.2 amp motor delivering 25,000 RPM, designed for professional welders and fabricators. Its key advantage is AC/DC compatibility for field use, though the 8-foot cord limits mobility. It is best suited for industrial users needing high-speed grinding in welding shops or fabrication environments.
