69857 - Pferd 5-Inch x .045-Inch Type 1 Cut-Off Wheel for Steel and Stainless

High-Performance Cutting for Steel and Stainless Steel

The Pferd 69857 is a premium 5-inch cut-off wheel designed to meet the rigorous demands of industrial metalworking. Engineered with a high-quality aluminum oxide grain, this wheel provides exceptional cutting aggression and durability. It is specifically formulated to handle both carbon steel and stainless steel (INOX), making it a versatile addition to any fabricator's toolkit. The wheel's composition ensures that it remains free of contaminants that could cause corrosion on stainless surfaces, maintaining the integrity of your workpiece.

Precision and Efficiency

With a thickness of just .045 inches, this wheel falls into the category of ultra-thin cutting abrasives. The thin profile significantly reduces the amount of material removed during the cut, which translates to less friction and lower heat generation. This is critical when working with heat-sensitive materials like stainless steel, as it helps prevent blueing and thermal distortion. The Type 1 (flat) design is ideal for making deep, 90-degree cuts through sheets, profiles, and solid materials, offering maximum reach and precision.

Long-Lasting Durability

Pferd is renowned for manufacturing abrasives that deliver consistent performance over a long service life. The 69857 wheel is built to resist wear, allowing operators to make more cuts per wheel compared to standard economy options. This longevity reduces downtime spent changing wheels and lowers overall consumable costs. Whether you are cutting structural steel, pipe, or sheet metal, this wheel maintains its cutting speed throughout its life, ensuring productivity remains high from the first cut to the last.

Compatibility and Safety

This cut-off wheel features a standard 7/8-inch arbor, making it compatible with the majority of 5-inch angle grinders available on the market. It is manufactured to strict safety standards, ensuring stability and reliability during high-speed operation. Operators can trust in the structural integrity of the wheel when used according to safety guidelines. It is an excellent choice for MRO (Maintenance, Repair, and Operations) environments, welding shops, and construction sites where versatility and reliability are paramount.
