VIKING AIR TOOLS
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about VIKING AIR TOOLS from 3G Electric.
What are the speed and power ratings for Viking Air Tools right-angle die grinders?
Viking Air Tools right-angle die grinders in the 3G Electric catalog include models rated at 0.3 hp with a maximum speed of 25,000 RPM (MPN VT3001A) and 0.33 hp with a maximum speed of 15,000 RPM (MPN VT3012A). Both are supplied as tool only, meaning collets, abrasives, and other accessories are ordered separately. The rated horsepower and free speed are the primary selection criteria for matching the tool to the abrasive type and material removal rate required. Buyers should verify the air supply can deliver the required pressure and volume at the tool inlet to achieve the rated performance.
What is the stroke and blows per minute of the Viking Air Tools VT6008 air hammer?
The Viking Air Tools VT6008 air hammer is rated at 3,000 blows per minute with a 5/8 in stroke length and a 3/8 in shank size. It is a bare tool, so chisels and other accessories are ordered separately. The square and round design is intended for maintenance and light production tasks such as chipping, scraping, and cutting metal. The 3/8 in shank is a common size, but buyers should confirm compatibility with their existing chisel set. Air consumption and operating pressure requirements should be checked against the facility air system before ordering.
How do I identify the correct Viking Air Tools replacement part for my tool?
Viking Air Tools replacement parts are identified by manufacturer part numbers and compatibility references. For example, the V507 sanding shoe is compatible with model V100; the 15017W side strap is compatible with part 46D278; the 11400WA carrier is compatible with part 46D277; the 15019R gear is compatible with part 46D278; and the VIP0022 blade is compatible with part 29CK38. To select the correct part, locate the model or part number on the tool or in its documentation, then match it to the compatibility reference in the catalog. 3G Electric can assist with cross-referencing if the original part number is not visible.
Are Viking Air Tools products supplied as tool-only or with accessories?
Many Viking Air Tools products in the 3G Electric catalog are supplied as tool only. This applies to the right-angle die grinders (VT3001A and VT3012A) and the VT6008 air hammer. Tool-only supply means collets, chisels, abrasives, and other consumables are ordered separately. This allows buyers to select accessories that match their specific application and existing inventory. Replacement parts such as sanding shoes, side straps, carriers, gears, and blades are also available as individual components. Buyers should review the Type field in each product listing to confirm whether accessories are included.
What applications are Viking Air Tools die grinders and air hammers used for?
Viking Air Tools die grinders are used for grinding, deburring, and surface finishing in metalworking and fabrication. The right-angle configuration allows access to confined areas and provides a different grip orientation than straight die grinders. The VT6008 air hammer is used for chipping, scraping, and cutting metal in maintenance and light production tasks. These tools are common in MRO, fabrication, and assembly operations where pneumatic power is preferred for its power-to-weight ratio and continuous-duty capability. The specific abrasive or chisel selected depends on the material and finish required.
Does 3G Electric ship Viking Air Tools products globally?
Yes, 3G Electric ships Viking Air Tools products globally. The catalog includes complete tools and replacement parts, and quotation support is available for items not listed online. For international orders, buyers should provide the manufacturer part number and quantity to receive a quote. 3G Electric does not manufacture Viking Air Tools products; it distributes them.
