Overview

The Dynabrade 51706 is a straight-line pencil grinder rated at 0.1 hp, finished in teal, for light deburring and detail grinding work. Its slim, pencil-shaped body is built for precision rather than heavy material removal.

Pencil grinders trade power for control, and at 0.1 hp the 51706 is sized for fine detail work like deburring small parts, cleaning up welds in tight spaces, or blending edges where a full-size die grinder would be too bulky. Dynabrade has built its name on pneumatic finishing tools, and the pencil-grinder format is one of its staples.

Who it's for

Fits a shop doing detail metal finishing, mold and die work, or small-part deburring where a compact, lightweight tool matters more than raw power. Not suited to heavy stock removal or large-wheel grinding.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Slim pencil body suits tight-space detail work
  • Lightweight for extended handheld use
  • Teal finish makes the tool easy to spot
Cons
  • 0.1 hp isn't built for heavy material removal
  • Requires a compressed air supply

Performance notes

At 0.1 hp, the motor is built for light, controlled cuts rather than fast material removal, which is the point of a pencil grinder format. Like most Dynabrade tools, it runs on shop air, so output depends on the compressor supplying it as much as the tool itself. The slim body keeps weight low for long stretches of detail work.
