69952 - Pferd 5-Inch Type 1 Cut-Off Wheel for Steel .040 Thickness

Premium Cutting Performance with Pferd Abrasives

The Pferd 69952 Cut-Off Wheel is a top-tier abrasive solution designed for industrial professionals who demand efficiency and reliability. Measuring 5 inches in diameter with an ultra-thin .040-inch profile, this wheel is engineered to slice through steel with exceptional speed and precision. Pferd is renowned in the metalworking industry for manufacturing abrasives that balance longevity with aggressive performance, and this Type 1 wheel is no exception. It features a high-quality aluminum oxide grain structure that remains sharp throughout the cutting process, ensuring that operators can work continuously without frequent wheel changes or loss of cutting power.

One of the standout features of this product is its specific optimization for steel. While general-purpose wheels often struggle to maintain cutting speed on harder ferrous metals, the Pferd 69952 utilizes a bonding matrix that prevents glazing and overheating. The .040-inch thickness is critical for reducing friction; a thinner wheel removes less material, which translates to less heat generation and a cleaner cut. This is particularly beneficial in production environments where thermal distortion of the workpiece must be minimized. The standard 7/8-inch arbor ensures it fits securely on most professional 5-inch angle grinders found in workshops and job sites across Canada.

Safety and durability are core components of the Pferd design philosophy. This wheel is reinforced to withstand the lateral stresses encountered during cutting operations, although it is strictly designed for cutting (not grinding). The Type 1 flat profile allows for deep penetration into the workpiece, making it ideal for cutting through structural steel, tubing, and solid bars. When you choose Pferd abrasives from Josef Gas, you are investing in a product that reduces downtime and enhances the overall productivity of your metal fabrication projects. Whether you are in a heavy industrial setting or a precision fabrication shop, this cut-off wheel delivers the consistent results required for high-quality output.

Proper storage and handling are essential for maximizing the life of abrasive wheels. These wheels should be stored in a dry environment to prevent moisture absorption, which can degrade the bonding agent. Always ensure that the maximum RPM of your angle grinder does not exceed the rating on the wheel. With the Pferd 69952, you get a reliable tool that cuts cleaner, faster, and longer, representing excellent value for professional fabricators.
