OVERVIEW

Premium Performance for Industrial Fabrication

The Pferd 63173 is a high-performance 5-inch cut-off wheel from the renowned SG-ELASTIC line, engineered to meet the rigorous demands of professional metalworking. Featuring a Type 27 depressed center design, this wheel offers enhanced rigidity and the ability to perform flush cuts in tight spaces where flat Type 1 wheels may be restricted. With a thickness of .045 inches, it strikes an optimal balance between structural stability and rapid material removal, ensuring precise cuts with minimal burr formation.

Manufactured with premium Aluminum Oxide grain and a specialized bond, this wheel is designated as Hardness Grade R. This specification ensures a long service life while maintaining aggressive cutting action. Crucially for fabrication involving high-grade alloys, the wheel is produced without the addition of ferrous, chlorinated, or sulfurous fillers (Fe, S, Cl < 0.1%). This "INOX" rating guarantees that the abrasive will not introduce contaminants that could lead to corrosion or pitting on stainless steel surfaces, making it an ideal choice for nuclear, food grade, and chemical processing equipment fabrication.

The SG-ELASTIC series is designed to reduce heat buildup during operation, preserving the metallurgical integrity of the workpiece. This wheel is compatible with standard 5-inch angle grinders featuring a 7/8-inch arbor and is rated for a maximum speed of 12,200 RPM. Whether cutting sheet metal, profiles, or solid materials, the Pferd 63173 delivers consistent, professional results.

FAQ

Type 1 wheels are flat, while Type 27 wheels have a depressed center. The depressed center allows the locking nut to sit recessed, enabling flush cutting and providing more rigidity.

No, this is a .045" thick cut-off wheel designed only for cutting. Using it for side grinding is dangerous and can cause the wheel to shatter. Use a grinding wheel (typically 1/4" thick) for grinding.

Yes, the Pferd 63173 is manufactured without ferrous, sulfurous, or chlorinated fillers (INOX rated), preventing contamination and corrosion on stainless steel.

The maximum operating speed is 12,200 RPM. Always ensure your grinder's speed does not exceed this rating.

This wheel has a 7/8-inch arbor hole, which is the standard size for most 4.5-inch and 5-inch angle grinders.

These wheels are typically sold in quantities of 25 per box.

While it can cut aluminum, it is optimized for steel and stainless. For aluminum, a wheel specifically designed to prevent loading (clogging) is recommended.
