Product Description

The FORNEY INDUSTRIES INC 71797 is a Type 1 aluminum oxide cutting wheel designed for metal cutting applications on right angle grinders. Measuring 6 inches in diameter by 0.040 inches thick with a 7/8 inch arbor, this wheel is built for cutting ferrous materials including steel. The aluminum oxide abrasive construction delivers consistent cutting performance across metal fabrication, body work, and general repair tasks. It is intended for use by metalworkers, welders, fabricators, and maintenance technicians who require a reliable, straight cutting wheel for ferrous stock removal.

This wheel is suited for residential, commercial, and industrial environments where ferrous metal cutting is required. Typical applications include steel pipe cutting, sheet metal work, metal fabrication, body work, and general maintenance repair. The 6-inch diameter and 0.040-inch kerf thickness make it appropriate for right angle grinders where a thin, controlled cut on ferrous materials is the priority. The package quantity of 25 wheels supports high-volume shop use or job-site replenishment.
