OVERVIEW

Precision Grinding with Pferd Silicon Carbide Technology

The Pferd 61790 Bench Wheel is a high-performance abrasive tool engineered for specific industrial applications requiring superior hardness and sharp cutting capabilities. Manufactured with premium Silicon Carbide (SiC) grain, this 6-inch by 1-inch wheel is distinct from standard aluminum oxide wheels due to its extremely hard, sharp, and brittle abrasive structure. This composition makes it the ideal choice for working with materials that are either very hard, such as cemented carbides, or soft and non-ferrous, such as aluminum, copper, brass, and bronze.

Featuring a 120-grit specification, this wheel is classified as fine, making it suitable for finishing operations, deburring, and the precision sharpening of cutting tools. The vitrified bond holds the abrasive grains securely while allowing for a porous structure that promotes airflow, thereby reducing thermal transfer to the workpiece. This is critical when grinding heat-sensitive materials or precision tools where maintaining temper is essential. The wheel is designed to fit standard bench and pedestal grinders, typically supplied with telescoping bushings to accommodate arbor sizes ranging from 1/2 inch to 1 inch.

Industrial professionals rely on Pferd's vitrified bench wheels for their consistency and balance. A well-balanced wheel reduces vibration on the bench grinder, leading to safer operation and superior surface finishes. Whether utilized in a tool and die shop for maintaining carbide inserts or in a general fabrication environment for dressing non-ferrous components, the Pferd 61790 delivers reliable, cool-cutting performance. Proper dressing of the wheel is recommended to maintain the cutting face and expose fresh abrasive grains for optimal efficiency.

FAQ

It is best suited for very hard materials like cemented carbides and stone, as well as non-ferrous metals like aluminum, brass, copper, and bronze.

It is not recommended for steel. Grinding steel on silicon carbide can cause rapid wheel wear and poor results. Use aluminum oxide wheels for steel.

120 grit indicates a fine abrasive texture, ideal for sharpening, finishing, and light material removal rather than heavy stock removal.

Yes, Pferd bench wheels typically include a set of telescoping bushings to fit arbor sizes such as 1/2", 5/8", 3/4", and 1".

Green is the standard color code for Silicon Carbide abrasive wheels, helping users distinguish them from gray or brown Aluminum Oxide wheels intended for steel.

Yes, like all vitrified wheels, it should be dressed periodically with a diamond or star dresser to remove loaded material and expose fresh grain.

Vitrified wheels are generally unaffected by water, oils, or acids, but this specific wheel is typically used for dry bench grinding operations.

Always check the label on the wheel itself for the specific Max RPM. Generally, 6-inch vitrified wheels are rated for standard bench grinder speeds (approx. 3600-4100 RPM).
