Chicago Pneumatic CP7408 - Air Die Grinder for Welders, Woodworkers, Automotive Detailing, and Stainless Steel Polishing

Chicago Pneumatic has expanded its product lineup with the introduction of a new series of pneumatic die grinders, specifically the ¼” and 6 mm CP74 Series. Designed with a focus on enhancing both productivity and operator comfort, these new grinders deliver an impressive power boost—up to 20% more than the previous CP91 range. Their innovative collet design allows for quick and effortless burr changes, making them ideal for applications in metal fabrication, vehicle servicing, and repair.

One of the standout features of the CP74 Series is its unique spindle lock system. This innovative locking mechanism streamlines the process of changing carbide burrs, making it far easier than traditional die grinders that require two spanner wrenches. By eliminating the need for one spanner wrench, operators can avoid placing tools in a vice or gripping them between their knees, significantly reducing production downtime and enhancing overall productivity.

In addition to their user-friendly design, CP74 die grinders offer exceptional versatility for a wide range of applications. With a selection of six interchangeable heads available—short or long, straight or angled (90°, 120°)—operators can find the perfect configuration for tasks including matching welded surfaces, deburring, and chamfering. This high application coverage further boosts operational efficiency.

Operator comfort has also been prioritized in the CP74 Series. The grinders feature handles made from thermoplastic rubber (TPR), ensuring a strong and secure grip during use. Additionally, the durable composite casing serves as an insulator, minimizing heat transfer between the motor and the sleeve. Together, these attributes allow operators to work comfortably for extended periods without discomfort.

These pneumatic die grinders are also impressive in terms of power-to-weight performance. Operating at speeds ranging from 22,000 to 28,000 RPM depending on the model, the CP74 series presents a powerful solution without excessive weight— with the lightest model weighing in at just 1.1 lb. (0.5 kg) and the heaviest at 2.43 lb. (1.1 kg).

Since its inception in 1901 in the United States, Chicago Pneumatic has positioned itself as a leader in the industry, renowned for delivering top-tier pneumatic tools. Their commitment to excellence is reflected in their dedication to research, development, and production aimed at meeting both current and future market needs.

For specialized applications, the CP7408 Air Angle Die Grinder stands out with its powerful 0.34 horsepower motor, capable of achieving a maximum speed of 23,000 RPM—making it an optimal choice for heavy-duty grinding and polishing.

Designed ergonomically, the CP7408 features a lightweight and compact profile that promotes effortless maneuverability in confined spaces. The grip surface and composite housing contribute to the comfort of the operator during use.

Safety is also a key consideration with the CP7408, which includes a lock-off throttle to prevent accidental activation. Its sturdy aluminum alloy construction ensures long-lasting durability, making it robust enough for intensive usage.

This versatile tool is ideal for various applications, particularly in body shops and maintenance, repair, and operations (MRO). It excels in tasks such as welding, woodworking, automotive detailing, stainless steel polishing, and heavy-duty grinding.

In terms of general specifications, the CP7408 Air Angle Die Grinder features a 1/4-inch collet chuck compatible with various burrs dedicated to polishing and grinding. It measures 7.68 inches in length, 1.5 inches in width, and 3.6 inches in height, requiring an air pressure of 90 PSI for operation.
