63172 - PFERD 63172 4-1/2" x .045" Type 27 SGP STEELOX Cut-Off Wheel

Premium Performance for Industrial Fabrication

The PFERD 63172 Cut-Off Wheel represents the pinnacle of abrasive technology within the Special Line SGP (Super Graphic Performance) series. Designed specifically for the rigorous demands of industrial metalworking, this 4-1/2 inch wheel features a .045-inch thickness that strikes the perfect balance between structural integrity and cutting speed. The wheel utilizes a premium Aluminum Oxide grain structure that self-sharpens during use, ensuring consistent cutting action throughout the life of the disc. Its Type 27 depressed center configuration offers enhanced rigidity, allowing operators to perform flush cuts and navigate tight geometries with greater stability than flat Type 1 wheels.

One of the defining characteristics of the SGP STEELOX formulation is its chemical purity. Manufactured without the addition of ferrous, sulphurous, or chlorinated fillers, this wheel is an ideal choice for working on high-grade Stainless Steel (INOX) where contamination must be strictly avoided to prevent future corrosion. This feature makes the 63172 particularly valuable in industries such as food processing equipment manufacturing, nuclear energy, and chemical processing, where material integrity is paramount.

Efficiency is at the core of the PFERD design philosophy. The ultra-thin profile reduces the surface area of contact, which translates to significantly less friction and heat generation during the cut. This "cool cutting" action prevents heat discoloration (bluing) on the workpiece and reduces the thermal stress applied to the metal. Furthermore, the precision engineering of the bond system ensures minimal burr formation. For the fabricator, this means less time spent on secondary deburring operations, resulting in a streamlined workflow and lower overall production costs.

Safety and comfort are also prioritized. The wheel is manufactured to the highest safety standards, providing a stable and vibration-free experience when used with standard angle grinders. Whether cutting through thin sheet metal, profiles, or solid materials, the PFERD 63172 delivers reliable, high-speed performance that professionals trust for their most critical applications.
