61030 - Pferd 6-Inch Type 27 Grinding Wheel for Steel - 1/4-Inch Thick

Heavy-Duty Grinding Performance for Steel Applications

The Pferd 61030 Grinding Wheel is a premium abrasive tool engineered for professional metalworkers who demand consistency, safety, and speed. Measuring 6 inches in diameter with a 1/4-inch thickness and a standard 7/8-inch arbor, this Type 27 depressed center wheel is optimized for use on steel and other ferrous metals. It is designed to tackle the toughest fabrication challenges, from smoothing heavy weld seams to aggressive edge grinding and beveling.

Pferd is renowned in the industrial sector for manufacturing abrasives that deliver a high ratio of stock removal to wheel wear. This specific wheel features a specialized bond and grain combination that maintains its cutting aggression throughout its lifespan. Unlike softer wheels that may degrade quickly under the heat and pressure of heavy grinding, the Pferd 61030 maintains its structural integrity, providing a stable and predictable grinding experience. This stability is crucial for operators working in high-pressure environments where tool vibration and wheel chatter can lead to fatigue and inconsistent finishes.

The Type 27 geometry of this wheel makes it versatile for a wide range of angle grinder applications. The depressed center allows the locking nut to sit flush or below the grinding surface, enabling the operator to grind at flatter angles (typically 30 to 45 degrees) without interference. This is particularly useful for surface grinding and blending operations where access and visibility are key. Whether you are preparing a joint for welding or cleaning up a finished fabrication, this wheel provides the bite needed to remove material quickly without sacrificing control.

Safety and efficiency are at the core of Pferd's design philosophy. By reducing the frequency of wheel changes, this long-life grinding wheel helps minimize downtime in production environments. Fewer changes mean more arc-on time and higher throughput for your shop. Additionally, the consistent balance of Pferd wheels reduces vibration, protecting both the angle grinder's bearings and the operator's hands from long-term stress. For shops processing carbon steel, structural steel, or cast iron, the Pferd 61030 is a reliable workhorse that delivers professional results cut after cut.
