OVERVIEW

High-Performance Thin Cut-Off Wheel for Industrial Fabrication

The Pferd 69817 is a premium 4-1/2 inch cut-off wheel designed for professional metalworkers who demand precision and speed. Featuring an ultra-thin .030-inch profile, this wheel is engineered to slice through material with minimal resistance, significantly reducing the thermal load on the workpiece. This makes it an exceptional choice for working with heat-sensitive materials like stainless steel, where preventing discoloration and warping is critical.

Constructed with high-quality aluminum oxide grain, this Type 1 (flat) wheel offers aggressive cutting performance on both carbon steel and stainless steel. The flat profile allows for maximum depth of cut and is ideal for 90-degree cutting applications. Despite its thinness, the wheel is reinforced to provide a long service life, reducing the frequency of wheel changes in high-volume production environments. It fits standard angle grinders with a 7/8-inch arbor and is rated for safe operation at high RPMs.

Industrial fabricators rely on Pferd abrasives for their consistency and safety. This wheel is manufactured to strict quality standards, ensuring it is free from iron, sulfur, and chlorine fillers that could contaminate stainless steel welds. Whether you are cutting sheet metal, tubing, or structural sections, the Pferd 69817 delivers the reliability needed for heavy-duty MRO and fabrication tasks.

FAQ

A .030 inch wheel is thinner than standard .045 inch wheels, allowing for faster cuts, less material waste, and reduced heat generation, which is crucial for stainless steel.

Yes, this Pferd wheel is formulated for use on both steel and stainless steel and is free of contaminants that cause corrosion.

Type 1 wheels are flat and used strictly for cutting on the edge. Type 27 wheels have a depressed center and can be used for cutting and light grinding, though Type 1 is generally preferred for pure cutting depth.

This wheel has a standard 7/8-inch arbor, fitting most 4-1/2 inch angle grinders.

No, this is a cut-off wheel only. It is too thin for side-loading or grinding applications and could shatter if used incorrectly.

Always wear a face shield, safety glasses, gloves, and hearing protection. Ensure the grinder guard is in place and positioned correctly.

While you should always check the label on the specific wheel, standard 4.5-inch cut-off wheels are typically rated for around 13,300 RPM.
