Forney Industries Inc 71850 Type 1 Metal Cutting Wheel

Product Description

The FORNEY INDUSTRIES INC 71850 is a Type 1 aluminum oxide cutting wheel designed for metal cutting and abrasion applications. Measuring 5 inches in diameter with a 1/16 inch thickness and a 7/8 inch arbor, this wheel mounts to standard right angle grinders for use in body work, metal fabrication, and general repair work. The aluminum oxide abrasive construction makes it suited for cutting ferrous materials efficiently. Each package contains 25 wheels, making it a practical supply for ongoing shop or field work. This wheel is intended for use on right angle grinders only and is not rated for other tool types.

The 71850 is used across metal fabrication shops, auto body environments, and general maintenance settings where cutting ferrous metals is a routine task. Its thin 1/16 inch profile reduces cutting resistance and minimizes material loss at the cut line. Applications include structural steel, sheet metal, pipe, and similar ferrous stock. It is a common consumable for welding shops, maintenance crews, and fabricators who work with right angle grinders on a daily basis.

Installation Notes

Mounting and replacement of cutting wheels should be performed by qualified personnel familiar with angle grinder safety procedures. Always power down and disconnect the grinder from its power source before changing wheels. Inspect the wheel for cracks or damage before each use and confirm the wheel speed rating meets or exceeds the grinder RPM. Follow applicable ANSI B7.1 standards for abrasive wheel use and guarding requirements.
