OVERVIEW

Premium Cutting Performance with Pferd Abrasives

The Pferd 69872 is a high-performance 7-inch cut-off wheel designed for industrial professionals who demand precision and speed. Engineered with a premium aluminum oxide grain, this wheel is formulated to deliver aggressive cutting action across a variety of ferrous metals. It is particularly effective on both carbon steel and stainless steel (INOX), making it a versatile addition to any fabrication shop or maintenance inventory. The 46-grit composition ensures a rapid material removal rate while maintaining a relatively smooth finish on the cut edge.

Featuring a Type 1 (flat) profile, this wheel is ideal for deep cutting applications where perpendicularity to the workpiece is essential. The ultra-thin .045-inch thickness is a critical feature, as it significantly reduces the surface area in contact with the metal. This results in less friction, lower heat generation, and minimal material loss. For stainless steel applications, the cool cutting action helps prevent heat discoloration and warping, preserving the integrity of the base material. The 7/8-inch arbor fits standard 7-inch angle grinders, ensuring compatibility with your existing power tools.

Pferd is renowned for manufacturing abrasives that prioritize safety and consistency. The 69872 wheel is reinforced to withstand the stresses of high-speed cutting, providing the operator with confidence and stability during use. Whether you are cutting structural steel, tubing, or sheet metal, this wheel offers the durability required for heavy-duty tasks without sacrificing the precision needed for fine detail work. By choosing Pferd, you are investing in an abrasive solution that reduces downtime and increases productivity through extended wheel life and faster cut times.

Key Applications:

  • Cutting stainless steel sheets and profiles.
  • Slicing through carbon steel structural components.
  • General fabrication and metalworking tasks.
  • Maintenance and repair operations requiring quick metal severance.

FAQ

This wheel is designed for use on Stainless Steel (INOX) and Carbon Steel. It is also suitable for all ferrous metals.

A .045" thickness is considered a thin cut-off wheel. It removes less material, cuts faster, and generates significantly less heat than thicker 1/8" or 3/32" wheels.

This is a Type 1 wheel, which means it is flat. It is designed for cutting only, not for grinding, and is best for perpendicular cuts.

This wheel fits 7-inch angle grinders with a standard 7/8-inch arbor.

No, never use a thin cut-off wheel (like this .045" wheel) for side grinding. It is designed for cutting on its edge only. Side loading can cause the wheel to shatter.

This wheel is formulated for INOX (stainless steel), meaning it is generally free of iron, sulfur, and chlorinated fillers that could cause corrosion.

Always check the label on the wheel itself, but standard 7-inch abrasive wheels are typically rated for around 8,500 to 8,600 RPM. Ensure your grinder does not exceed the wheel's rating.

Aluminum Oxide is a tough, durable grain that provides a consistent cut rate and long life on ferrous metals like steel and stainless.
