Product Description

The FORNEY INDUSTRIES INC 71854 is a Type 1 aluminum oxide cutting wheel designed for use on right angle grinders. It measures 4.5 inches in diameter and 0.045 inches thick, with a 7/8 inches arbor bore. The thin kerf profile and aluminum oxide abrasive make it well suited for fast, clean cuts through ferrous metals. This wheel is built for trade environments where consistent material removal and cut accuracy matter — including body work, metal fabrication, and general repair applications. It is sold in packages of 25 wheels per unit.

This cutting wheel is intended for ferrous metal applications including structural steel, sheet metal, and similar materials encountered in metal fabrication, automotive body work, and general repair work. It is designed exclusively for right angle grinder use. The Type 1 flat wheel profile is standard for cutoff operations on handheld angle grinders common in HVAC, mechanical, and fabrication trades. The 25-piece package quantity suits job site or shop use where multiple cuts per session are expected.
