OVERVIEW

Industrial Grade Cutting Performance

The Pferd 63608 Cut-Off Wheel is engineered for professional fabricators and industrial environments where speed and consistency are paramount. This 5-inch abrasive wheel features a thin .045-inch profile, commonly referred to as a "zipcut," which allows for rapid slicing through metal with minimal material waste. The wheel is constructed with high-quality aluminum oxide grain, a standard in the industry for its durability and ability to maintain a sharp cutting edge throughout the life of the disc.

Designed with a Type 1 flat profile, this wheel is ideal for making straight, deep cuts at 90-degree angles relative to the workpiece. It is specifically formulated to be versatile, offering excellent performance on both carbon steel and stainless steel (INOX). This dual capability makes it a valuable inventory item for shops that handle mixed materials, reducing the need to stock separate wheels for different ferrous metals. The bond system is optimized to cut cool and fast, preventing the overheating of heat-sensitive materials like stainless steel.

Reliability is key in MRO and production settings. The Pferd 63608 delivers smooth cutting action with minimal contact pressure, reducing operator fatigue during extended use. Whether you are cutting structural steel, tubing, or sheet metal, this wheel provides the aggressive bite needed to get the job done efficiently. Its standard 7/8-inch arbor ensures compatibility with the vast majority of 5-inch angle grinders available on the market today.

Key Industrial Benefits

  • Versatility: One wheel for both steel and stainless steel applications.

FAQ

It is designed for use on Steel (Carbon Steel) and Stainless Steel (INOX), as well as other ferrous metals and high-temperature alloys.

This wheel has a standard 7/8" (22.23mm) arbor hole, fitting most standard 5-inch angle grinders.

No, this is a .045" thick cut-off wheel. It is designed for cutting only (using the edge). Do not use it for surface grinding (using the face) as it is dangerous.

This is a Type 1 wheel, which is completely flat. Type 27 wheels have a depressed center. Type 1 is generally preferred for deeper cutting applications.

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

It is compatible with 5-inch angle grinders that accept a 7/8" arbor attachment.

Pferd wheels for Stainless Steel are typically manufactured to be free of iron, sulfur, and chlorine contaminants (< 0.1%) to prevent corrosion.
