The Pferd 63167 is a premium-grade abrasive cutoff wheel engineered for industrial metalworking applications requiring precision, speed, and thermal control. Measuring 4-1/2 inches in diameter with a slim .045-inch thickness, this wheel utilizes a high-quality Aluminum Oxide (A) grain structure with a 46 grit rating (A46). This specific formulation is optimized to deliver aggressive cutting performance across a wide range of ferrous materials, including carbon steel, structural steel, and high-temperature alloys, while maintaining excellent capability on stainless steel.
A defining characteristic of the 63167 is its Type 27 depressed center geometry. Unlike flat Type 1 wheels, the Type 27 profile features a raised hub area that allows the locking nut to sit flush or recessed within the wheel's profile. This design enables the operator to perform flush cuts against surfaces without interference from the grinder's mounting hardware. Furthermore, the depressed center adds structural rigidity to the wheel, reducing deflection during operation and enhancing safety under side-load stresses that can occur during difficult cutting angles.
The .045-inch thickness is a critical specification for modern fabrication efficiency. By minimizing the cross-sectional area of the cut (kerf), the wheel removes less material, which directly translates to reduced energy consumption and lower heat generation. This is particularly vital when working with stainless steel, where heat buildup can lead to discoloration or loss of corrosion resistance. The Pferd 63167 is manufactured to strict tolerances to ensure balance and concentricity, reducing vibration and extending the life of both the abrasive and the power tool.
