61739 - Pferd 6-Inch Bench Grinder Wheel 36 Grit Aluminum Oxide

Industrial Grade Bench Grinding Solution

The Pferd 61739 Bench Grinding Wheel is a premium abrasive tool designed to meet the rigorous demands of industrial maintenance, repair, and operations (MRO) environments. Manufactured by Pferd, a global leader in abrasive solutions, this wheel is engineered with high-quality Aluminum Oxide grain, making it the standard choice for grinding steel and other ferrous metals. Its vitrified bond ensures excellent structural integrity, allowing the wheel to maintain its shape and cutting profile even under the stress of continuous workshop use.

With a 6-inch diameter and 3/4-inch face width, this wheel is sized to fit standard bench and pedestal grinders commonly found in machine shops and fabrication floors. The 36 grit specification indicates a coarse texture, which is specifically optimized for rapid stock removal, heavy deburring, and the initial shaping of metal components. It is an essential consumable for workshops that require efficient material removal without compromising on safety or tool life.

Reliability and Performance

For procurement managers and shop foremen, the Pferd 61739 represents a reliable inventory staple. The consistency of Pferd's manufacturing process means that every wheel performs predictably, reducing downtime associated with wheel changes or balancing issues. The 1-inch arbor fits heavy-duty spindles, ensuring a secure mount that minimizes vibration—a critical factor for bearing life in grinding machinery. Whether used for reconditioning tools or prepping welded parts, this wheel delivers the performance professional trades demand.

Application Versatility

While primarily designed for steel, the aluminum oxide composition is versatile enough for a range of ferrous materials. It effectively resists loading when used on appropriate metals, ensuring that the cutting edges of the grain remain exposed for continuous cutting action. This wheel is not recommended for non-ferrous metals like aluminum (which can clog the pores) or carbide (which requires green silicon carbide), but it is the workhorse for carbon steel applications.
