Forney Industries Inc 71848 Type 27 Grinding Wheel 4.5in

Product Description

The FORNEY INDUSTRIES INC 71848 is a Type 27 depressed center grinding wheel engineered for metal grinding on ferrous materials. Measuring 4.5 inches in diameter and 1/8 inch thick with a 7/8-inch arbor bore, this wheel is constructed from aluminum oxide abrasive media. It is designed exclusively for use on right-angle grinders and delivers consistent material removal across a range of metalworking tasks. The depressed center profile keeps the mounting hardware clear of the work surface, allowing a more aggressive grinding angle. Licensed trades and fabrication shops rely on this wheel for demanding material removal applications.

This grinding wheel is suited for residential and commercial fabrication environments, body shops, and general metal repair settings. Typical applications include metal grinding, metal abrasion, body work, metal fabrication, and general repair work on ferrous materials. It is intended for use with right-angle grinders only and is not rated for use on non-ferrous materials or with straight die grinders. The 7/8-inch arbor is a standard fit for most 4.5-inch right-angle grinders on the market.
