The Choice Is Yours

Dynabrade Die Grinders Offered in a Variety of Configurations

Geared and Gearless Tool Offerings Geared Tools generally have higher torque levels, while gearless tools offer reduced maintenance and downtime. Two Types of Gearing Planetary gears are inline speed reduction gears. The higher the reduction, the higher the torque levels. Right angle bevel gears turn the spindle of the machine 90° from the motor. Typically there is a speed reduction but not as high as planetary gears. Gearless Tools Gearless tools have lower vibration levels due to the omission of transmitting power through gears. They offer longer tool life with fewer wearable parts, resulting in reduced maintenance and downtime. Among tools with the same horsepower rating, gearless tools will generally have lower torque levels than geared tools. Look for the gearless icon (right) to quickly identify a gearless model.

Exhaust and Muffler Offerings Choose from front exhaust, rear exhaust (with extended muffler), and rear exhaust (with standard muffler). Front Exhaust Front exhaust tools direct debris away from the work surface, and do not have a sound-reducing muffler. Rear Exhaust Extended muffler design is ideal for larger hands, as the tool length is extended to accommodate the higher performing, dual-muffling technology. Abbreviated length of standard muffler is ideal for smaller hands.
