Forney Industries Inc 71846 Type 1 Metal Cutting Wheel

Product Description

The FORNEY INDUSTRIES INC 71846 is a Type 1 aluminum oxide cutting wheel built for aggressive metal removal on right angle grinders. It measures 4 inches in diameter by 1/16 inch thick and fits a 5/8 inch arbor. The thin 1/16 inch profile delivers fast, clean cuts through ferrous materials while minimizing heat buildup and material waste. Aluminum oxide abrasive provides consistent cutting action across a wide range of mild steels and ferrous alloys. This wheel is designed for professional trade use in metal cutting, metal abrasion, body work, and metal fabrication applications.

This cutting wheel is suited for residential and commercial fabrication shops, auto body repair environments, and general metalworking settings. Typical applications include cutting structural steel, sheet metal, and ferrous stock. It is engineered specifically for right angle grinders only and is not intended for use on other tool types. The 4 inch diameter makes it a practical fit for compact angle grinders commonly used in tight workspaces and field service situations. This product is packaged in a quantity of 100 wheels per unit.
