Forney Industries Inc 71807 Type 27 Cutting Wheel 4.5in

Product Description

The FORNEY INDUSTRIES INC 71807 is a Type 27 depressed-center cutting wheel engineered for aggressive metal cutting on right angle grinders. Measuring 4.5 inches in diameter and 0.045 inches thick with a 7/8 inch arbor bore, this wheel uses an aluminum oxide abrasive matrix suited for cutting stainless steel and ferrous metals. The thin kerf profile reduces heat buildup and material drag during cut-off operations, making it a practical choice for metal fabrication shops, body work, and general repair applications. Licensed trades and fabricators reach for this wheel when precision and cut speed matter on stainless stock.

This cutting wheel is designed for use on stainless steel materials in a range of work environments including metal fabrication, body work, metal abrasion tasks, and general repair work. Sold in a package of 20 wheels, it suits professionals who cycle through abrasives quickly in production or field service settings. The depressed-center Type 27 profile keeps the arbor recessed, allowing the cutting edge to stay flush to the workpiece and improving operator control. This wheel is rated for right angle grinders only and should not be mounted on other tool types.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified operator familiar with abrasive wheel safety. Always power down and unplug or lock out the grinder before mounting or changing a wheel. Inspect the wheel for cracks or damage before each use and never operate a damaged wheel. Confirm the grinder spindle speed rating meets or exceeds the wheel maximum RPM before operation, and use the correct guard as required by ANSI B11 abrasive wheel safety standards.
