61302 - Pferd 5-Inch Aluminum Grinding Wheel Type 27 SG-ELASTIC

High-Performance Aluminum Grinding with Pferd SG-ELASTIC

The Pferd 61302 5-inch Grinding Wheel is part of the renowned Performance Line SG, engineered specifically to address the unique challenges of working with aluminum and other non-ferrous metals. In industrial fabrication, standard grinding wheels often fail when applied to aluminum because the soft metal melts and adheres to the abrasive grain—a process known as "loading." This loading reduces cutting efficiency, increases heat generation, and can ruin the workpiece. Pferd has solved this problem with their proprietary N-ALU bond technology.

This Type 27 depressed center wheel features a specialized mixture of abrasive grain and fillers that actively prevent chip adhesion. Unlike many competitors, the Pferd N-ALU bond contains no paraffin or wax. This is a critical feature for professional welders and fabricators, as it ensures that the grinding process leaves no residue on the surface that could compromise subsequent welding or coating operations. The result is a clean, aggressive grind that maintains its speed throughout the life of the wheel.

With dimensions of 5" x 1/4" x 7/8", this wheel is designed for heavy-duty stock removal on standard angle grinders. It excels in applications such as weld grinding on aluminum structures, chamfering, and surface preparation. The soft bond hardness allows the wheel to break down at a controlled rate, constantly exposing sharp new abrasive grains to the workpiece. Whether you are working with soft, tough, or hard aluminum alloys, the Pferd 61302 delivers an excellent balance of aggressive removal rates and extended service life, making it a staple for aerospace, shipbuilding, and tank fabrication industries.
