Overview
The Craftsman CMXPTSG1006NB is an air powered die grinder built for fast material removal in a home or auto shop, spinning up to 21000 RPM while weighing just 1.58 pounds.
Air tools trade the weight and motor bulk of cordless drills for the compact body a compressor line makes possible, and this grinder is a clear example. At 1.58 pounds it is light enough for extended overhead or one handed work, provided a compressor is already part of the shop setup.
- Air powered die grinder
- 21000 RPM top speed
- 1.58 pound tool weight
- Craftsman branded
Who it's for
Suits a garage or fabrication shop that already runs an air line for other pneumatic tools and wants a light grinder for deburring, polishing or light material removal. Not a fit for anyone without a compressor, since the tool has no cord or battery of its own.
Pros and cons
- Very light at 1.58 pounds
- High 21000 RPM spin speed
- Requires a separate air compressor
- No cord or battery option
- No included accessories listed
Performance notes
Rated speed of 21000 RPM comes from its air motor, which spins faster and lighter than most electric die grinders of similar size. Because it runs on shop air rather than a battery or cord, output is only as consistent as the compressor feeding it, so line pressure and hose length affect real world power.
