Forney 71793 Type 27 Cut-off Wheel 4.5 in Aluminum Oxide

Product Description

The FORNEY INDUSTRIES INC 71793 is a Type 27 depressed-center cut-off wheel engineered for metal cutting on right-angle grinders. The wheel measures 4.5 inches in diameter with a 0.045-inch thickness and a 7/8-inch arbor bore. The abrasive grain is aluminum oxide, a standard choice for cutting ferrous materials cleanly and efficiently. This wheel is used by fabricators, welders, bodywork technicians, and general metal tradespeople who need a dependable cut wheel for production or field work. The depressed-center profile provides clearance for the grinder body during flush and tight-angle cuts.

This wheel is designed for metal cutting, metal abrasion, body work, metal fabrication, and general repair work. It is rated for use on ferrous materials including mild steel, structural steel, and sheet metal. The wheel is intended for use on right-angle grinders equipped with proper adapters that accept a 7/8-inch arbor. It is sold in a package quantity of 20 wheels per unit, making it practical for shop stock or ongoing job site use. It is not intended for use on non-ferrous metals, masonry, or wood.

Installation Notes

Wheel mounting and use should be performed by qualified personnel familiar with angle grinder safety practices. Always power down and disconnect the grinder before mounting or changing a wheel. Verify the grinder RPM rating meets or exceeds the wheel RPM rating before use, and confirm the correct adapter and guard are installed. Inspect the wheel for cracks or damage before each use and never use a damaged wheel.
