Forney 72355 Type 1 Cut-off Wheel

Product Description

The FORNEY 72355 is a Type 1 cut-off wheel designed for straight, flat cutting applications in metal fabrication, maintenance, and repair work. Type 1 wheels have a flat profile, making them suited for use with angle grinders and cut-off tools when a straight cutting line is required. Weighing 1.758 pounds, this wheel ships as a single unit. It is a standard abrasive consumable used by welders, fabricators, millwrights, and maintenance technicians who need reliable material removal and cut quality in the field or shop.

This cut-off wheel is used in applications involving metal cutting, deburring prep, and structural fabrication tasks. Type 1 geometry is the most common cut-off wheel format, compatible with right-angle grinders and dedicated cut-off machines. It is appropriate for use in both shop environments and on-site service work where portability and tool availability are standard considerations.
