63170 - Pferd 4-1/2" x .045" Type 1 Cut-Off Wheel for Steel & Stainless

Industrial Grade Cutting Performance

The Pferd 63170 Cut-Off Wheel is engineered for professional fabrication environments where efficiency and precision are paramount. This 4-1/2 inch abrasive wheel features a premium Aluminum Oxide grain structure designed to deliver aggressive cutting action without sacrificing wheel life. With a thickness of just .045 inches, it minimizes material waste and reduces the thermal load on the workpiece, making it an excellent choice for heat-sensitive materials like stainless steel.

Industrial procurement managers value the Pferd 63170 for its versatility and longevity. By utilizing a bond formulation that works effectively on both carbon steel and stainless steel (INOX), this wheel consolidates inventory requirements, reducing the need to stock multiple specific wheels for different ferrous metals. The Type 1 (flat) profile is ideal for deep section cutting and maintaining a strict 90-degree angle relative to the workpiece, ensuring square cuts that require less secondary processing.

Operational efficiency is further enhanced by the wheel's ability to cut freely with minimal contact pressure. This characteristic reduces operator fatigue and machine wear, contributing to a safer and more productive shop floor. Whether used for structural steel fabrication, pipe fitting, or general maintenance repairs, the Pferd 63170 delivers consistent, reliable performance that meets the rigorous demands of heavy industry.

Technical Specifications & Application

Designed for use with standard 4-1/2" angle grinders featuring a 7/8" arbor, this wheel is rated for high-speed operation. The reinforced construction ensures safety while maintaining the rigidity needed for straight cuts. It is particularly effective for cutting sheet metal, profiles, and solid materials, offering a cost-effective solution for high-volume cutting tasks.
