45461 - Pferd 2-Inch Mounted Flap Wheel 40 Grit

Technical Overview of Pferd 45461

The Pferd 45461 is a high-performance mounted flap wheel designed for industrial grinding and finishing applications. Part of the renowned Pferd F-Series, this tool features a fan-shaped radial arrangement of abrasive flaps around a central hub, permanently bonded to a 1/4-inch steel shank. The abrasive material is high-quality Aluminum Oxide A, chosen for its toughness and suitability for a wide range of materials including steel, stainless steel, and non-ferrous metals.

With a diameter of 2 inches and a width of 1 inch, this wheel is engineered for versatility in confined spaces. The 40 grit specification indicates a coarse abrasive structure, optimized for heavy stock removal, leveling of weld seams, and aggressive deburring. The flap design allows the wheel to be flexible, adapting to the workpiece geometry—whether flat, concave, or convex—ensuring consistent surface contact. As the flaps wear down, fresh abrasive grain is continuously exposed, maintaining a consistent cut rate throughout the tool's life.

This unit is rated for a maximum speed of approximately 13,700 RPM, making it compatible with standard pneumatic and electric die grinders. It is essential to operate the wheel within the recommended speed range to ensure safety and optimal performance. The resinoid bond system provides excellent grain retention while allowing for cool cutting action, reducing the risk of thermal discoloration on the workpiece.
