OVERVIEW

Industrial-Grade Cutting Performance for Steel Fabrication

The Pferd 63163 Cut-Off Wheel is a premium abrasive solution designed to meet the rigorous demands of industrial metalworking and structural steel fabrication. Engineered by Pferd, a global leader in abrasive technology, this 5-inch wheel utilizes high-quality aluminum oxide grain to deliver consistent, aggressive cutting action on carbon steel and other ferrous metals. The wheel features a Type 27 depressed center configuration, which provides enhanced rigidity compared to flat Type 1 wheels, allowing operators to apply necessary pressure without compromising safety or wheel integrity. This design is particularly advantageous in heavy-duty industrial environments where stability and precision are paramount.

Efficiency is a critical metric in production environments, and the 63163 excels by offering an optimal balance between cutting speed and service life. The ultra-thin .040-inch thickness significantly reduces the surface area in contact with the workpiece, resulting in less friction, lower heat generation, and reduced material waste. For facility managers and procurement specialists, this translates to lower energy consumption and fewer wheel changes per shift, ultimately driving down the total cost of operation. The wheel is manufactured to strict safety standards, ensuring reliability and compliance in professional workshops.

This abrasive tool is compatible with standard 5-inch angle grinders equipped with a 7/8-inch arbor, making it a versatile addition to any tool crib. Whether used for cutting structural beams, piping, or sheet metal, the Pferd 63163 maintains its cutting edge longer than generic alternatives. At Josef Gas, we understand the importance of reliable consumables in maintaining production schedules. Stocking the Pferd 63163 ensures your team has access to top-tier abrasives that perform consistently, cut after cut.

FAQ

A Type 27 wheel has a depressed center (raised hub), which allows the locking nut to be recessed. This permits flush cutting against surfaces and provides greater rigidity and stability compared to flat Type 1 wheels.

While this wheel is capable of cutting stainless steel, it is optimized for carbon steel. For the best performance and to avoid contamination on stainless steel (INOX), it is recommended to use a wheel specifically marked for stainless applications.

This wheel is .040 inches thick. This ultra-thin profile removes less material, resulting in faster cuts, less heat buildup, and reduced load on your angle grinder.

No, this is a cut-off wheel designed for cutting only. It should never be used for side grinding or deburring, as the thin profile cannot withstand the lateral pressure and may shatter.

Always wear a proper face shield, safety glasses, heavy-duty gloves, and hearing protection. Ensure the grinder's guard is properly adjusted and never exceed the maximum RPM rating of the wheel.

It fits 5-inch angle grinders that have a standard 7/8-inch arbor. Always check your tool's specifications to ensure compatibility with Type 27 wheels.

The Pferd 63163 uses high-quality Aluminum Oxide grain, which is the industry standard for tough, durable cutting on ferrous metals and steel.
