CP3550 Meets All Your Industrial Grinding and Sanding Needs

The company’s CP3550 series promises high-quality finishes with minimal effort, thanks to powerful and easy-to-handle metal-working tools offering intensive industrial durability at an accessible price.

“The 17-model range allows perfect matching of applications and tools,” said Pol Dunoyer, Chicago Pneumatic’s Global Business Manager for the industry. “These innovative products score highly over competitors in terms of performance and ergonomics. Their superior power creates greater torque for faster material removal rates, making users more productive. Efficiency is further boosted by easier tool handling and control, with better comfort. This allows fast, precise work and reduces operator fatigue.”

A Broad Range for All Applications
A 6” angle grinder completes models with 4”-to-5” wheels. Four straight die grinders – two standard and two extended – meet with the angle die grinder. These come complete with an Erickson 200 collet for attachment of ¼” and 6 mm mounted points and carbide burrs. The two 5” angle sanders are complemented by two tools for use with 7” abrasive pads. The last ones are low-speed sanders, whose gearboxes generate high torque with reduced speed (3,000 rpm) for polishing or delicate applications. They operate with 7” or 9” sanding wheels or flapwheels and – like the angle sanders – given a choice of models with ⅝” or M14 shaft threads.

Designed primarily for high-output work environments like foundries, casting plants, fabrication shops and shipyards, CP3550 series tools are also ideal for production and maintenance operations involving cast iron, steel, stainless steel, aluminum, alloys and composites. Typical tasks include deburring, contouring, chamfering, fettling, weld seam removal, surface preparation, cleaning, polishing and finishing.

Best in Class
Compared to direct competitors in its category, the CP3550 series with its 1.5 hp, 1100 W governed motor delivers the highest power. In tests against those products, material removal rates using CP3550 tools were more than 50 percent higher — and in one case more than 80 percent.

Advanced features on all models include a rotating inlet swivel, found on no other comparable tool at this power level, which enables free maneuvering and avoids hose knots. The streamlined safety lever found on each tool can be operated comfortably, even in thick gloves, and is easily directed downwards. Small-diameter handles give a comfortable grip, while a thermally insulated composite over-sleeve avoids the discomfort of handling cold tools over long periods. Meanwhile, unique silencer foam technology reduces noise emissions.

Downtime for accessory changes on CP3550 angle grinders and angle sanders is reduced by a fast and simple spindle lock feature requiring just one wrench. Keyless angle grinder guard adjustment – unique amongst direct competitors – enables quick changes, even when wearing gloves, to suit different work positions and to deflect sparks safely.

A Complete Range for High-Quality Finishes with Minimal Effort
“With CP3550 series tools you get a lot of power, performance and ergonomic features at an affordable price,” Dunoyer concludes. “They also save on operating costs, thanks to a 1,000-hour maintenance interval and a tough construction designed for long life and reliability in demanding industrial applications. Best of all, you can now meet all your grinding and sanding needs through one complete range of compatible pneumatic tools which give you a great finish quality with great ease.”
