The Pferd 63550 is a high-performance 4-1/2 inch cut-off wheel designed to meet the rigorous demands of industrial fabrication and maintenance. Part of Pferd's renowned abrasive line, this wheel features a Type 1 (flat) profile, making it ideal for deep cutting applications where perpendicularity to the workpiece is essential. With a thickness of just .045 inches, it falls into the category of ultra-thin cutting wheels, often referred to as "zipcuts," which reduce friction and heat generation during operation.
Constructed with premium Aluminum Oxide A grain, this wheel offers a versatile solution for shops that process multiple materials. It is universally suitable for general-purpose cutting of both carbon steel and stainless steel (INOX). This dual capability simplifies inventory management for MRO departments and fabrication floors, as a single wheel can handle the majority of ferrous metal cutting tasks without cross-contamination concerns typically associated with non-specialized abrasives.
A standout feature of the Pferd 63550 is its optimization for 5-7 Amp angle grinders. Many industrial abrasives are designed for high-power tools and can cause lower-amperage motors to stall or overheat due to high resistance. This wheel is formulated to cut freely with less pressure, preserving the life of lighter-duty or battery-operated power tools while still delivering the aggressive cutting speed professionals expect. Whether cutting structural steel, tubing, or sheet metal, this wheel delivers consistent results.
