OVERVIEW

Industrial Grade Cutting Performance

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.

FAQ

This wheel is designed for general purpose cutting of Steel and Stainless Steel (INOX).

A .045 inch thickness, often called a 'zipcut', removes less material than thicker wheels, resulting in faster cuts, less heat generation, and cleaner edges.

No, this is a Type 1 cut-off wheel designed only for cutting. It should never be used for side grinding as it may shatter.

While it fits standard 4.5-inch grinders with a 7/8" arbor, it is specifically optimized for 5-7 Amp grinders to prevent bogging down.

Type 1 refers to the wheel's shape, which is completely flat. This is ideal for deep cutting and keeping the wheel perpendicular to the workpiece.

While it can cut aluminum, it is not optimized for it and may load up (clog). It is best used for ferrous metals like steel and stainless.

The arbor hole is 7/8 inches, which is the standard size for most 4-1/2 inch angle grinders.

Pferd wheels for Stainless Steel are typically manufactured to be free of contaminants that cause corrosion, though specific contaminant-free certification should be verified on the label.
