OVERVIEW

Pferd PSF Line General Purpose Grinding Wheel for Steel

The Pferd 60006 is a high-performance abrasive grinding wheel from the renowned PSF line, engineered to deliver consistent results in general industrial and professional trade applications. Measuring 4-1/2 inches in diameter with a 1/4-inch thickness and a standard 7/8-inch arbor, this wheel is compatible with the vast majority of angle grinders on the market. It features a Type 27 depressed center design, which allows for a comfortable grinding angle (typically 30 to 45 degrees) and is ideal for aggressive stock removal, weld leveling, and edge preparation.

A standout feature of this specific SKU is its optimization for lower-power power tools, specifically angle grinders rated between 5 and 7 Amps. In abrasive mechanics, matching the bond hardness to the tool's power is critical. If a wheel is too hard for a low-power machine, the grain will not fracture and self-sharpen, leading to glazing, excessive heat generation, and poor removal rates. Pferd has formulated the bond of the 60006 to break down appropriately under the lower torque of 5-7 Amp grinders, ensuring that fresh aluminum oxide grain is constantly exposed. This results in a wheel that bites immediately and maintains a high cut rate throughout its life, even on less powerful equipment.

Constructed with high-quality aluminum oxide abrasive, this wheel is designed specifically for use on steel and ferrous metals. It offers a balanced performance profile characterized by a long service life and good stock removal rates, making it a cost-effective solution for workshops that require reliable daily consumables. As with all Pferd abrasives, the 60006 is manufactured to rigorous safety standards, ensuring structural integrity and operator safety during high-speed rotation.

FAQ

The Pferd 60006 is designed specifically for use on steel and other ferrous metals. It uses aluminum oxide grain which is ideal for these materials.

This wheel fits most standard 4-1/2 inch angle grinders that have a 7/8 inch arbor. It is specifically optimized for grinders with a 5-7 Amp power rating.

Type 27 refers to the shape of the wheel. It has a depressed center, which allows the locking nut to sit recessed, enabling you to grind on the face of the wheel at a 30-45 degree angle without the nut interfering with the workpiece.

While it can physically grind stainless steel, it is not recommended. This wheel is formulated for mild steel. Using it on stainless may cause contamination (rust issues later) and heat buildup. Look for wheels marked 'INOX' or 'Stainless' for those applications.

Grinding wheels are formulated with different bond hardnesses. A wheel designed for a high-power grinder is often too hard for a low-power (5-7 Amp) grinder, causing it to glaze over and stop cutting. This wheel is softer, allowing it to break down and self-sharpen even on less powerful tools.

This is a grinding wheel. It is 1/4 inch thick, which is designed for side-loading and heavy stock removal. Do not use it for cutting off material; use a thin cut-off wheel (Type 1 or Type 27 cut-off) for that purpose.

Always check the label on the actual wheel before use, but standard 4-1/2" grinding wheels are typically rated for around 13,300 RPM.
