Forney 71815 Type 1 Cut-off Wheel

Product Description

The FORNEY 71815 is a Type 1 cut-off wheel designed for straight cutting applications on metal and other hard materials. Type 1 wheels feature a flat profile, making them suitable for use with angle grinders and cut-off tools in standard straight-line cuts. At 0.225 pounds, this wheel is a single-piece consumable abrasive that trade professionals rely on for clean, controlled cuts in fabrication, maintenance, and repair work. It is sold individually, allowing for flexible replenishment without minimum-quantity overstock.

This cut-off wheel is suited for use in metal fabrication shops, mechanical and industrial maintenance environments, and field service applications. Typical users include pipefitters, ironworkers, welders, plumbers, and HVAC technicians who need to cut ferrous or non-ferrous stock, conduit, pipe, or structural material. The flat Type 1 geometry is the most widely used cut-off wheel profile and is compatible with standard guarded angle grinders and dedicated cut-off machines.

Installation Notes

Cut-off wheels must be installed and operated by personnel trained in abrasive wheel safety. Always inspect the wheel for cracks or chips before mounting, and never operate a damaged wheel. Ensure the tool is rated for the wheel size and maximum RPM before installation, and confirm that the proper guard is in place before use.
