61108 - Pferd SG-INOX 7-Inch Type 27 Grinding Wheel for Stainless Steel

High-Performance Grinding for Stainless Steel Applications

The Pferd 61108 is a premium 7-inch grinding wheel from the renowned SG-INOX line, engineered specifically to meet the rigorous demands of industrial stainless steel fabrication. In professional environments where efficiency and finish quality are paramount, this abrasive tool stands out by delivering exceptional stock removal rates without compromising the integrity of the base material. The wheel features a specialized Aluminum Oxide grain formulation paired with a soft resinoid bond (Hardness N), which allows the abrasive to break down at a controlled rate, constantly exposing fresh, sharp cutting edges.

One of the critical challenges in grinding stainless steel (INOX) and high-temperature alloys is heat generation, which can lead to thermal discoloration and structural changes in the metal. The Pferd 61108 addresses this with its cool-grinding properties. By requiring less contact pressure to achieve a bite, the operator generates less friction heat, preserving the workpiece's surface quality. Furthermore, this wheel is manufactured without the addition of ferrous, chlorinated, or sulfurous fillers, making it a contaminant-free solution essential for nuclear, food grade, and chemical processing equipment fabrication where cross-contamination leads to corrosion.

While optimized for stainless steel, the versatility of the A 30 N SG-INOX specification allows it to perform admirably on carbon steel and other ferrous metals, making it a flexible addition to any tool crib. The Type 27 depressed center design provides the rigidity needed for heavy weld removal, edge chamfering, and surface leveling. With a 7-inch diameter and 1/4-inch thickness, it offers a substantial amount of abrasive material for extended service life, reducing the frequency of wheel changes and improving overall shop productivity.
