Forney Industries Inc 71856 Type 1 Cutting Wheel 4in

Product Description

The FORNEY INDUSTRIES INC 71856 is a Type 1 aluminum oxide cutting wheel designed for precision metal cutting in demanding trade applications. Built at 4 inches in diameter with a 1/32 inch thickness and a 3/8 inch arbor, this wheel is engineered for use on die grinders and air grinders only. The aluminum oxide abrasive material delivers consistent cutting performance on ferrous metals. Typical users include fabricators, auto body technicians, and general metalworkers who need a thin kerf wheel for clean, controlled cuts in tight spaces.

This cutting wheel is suited for metal cutting, metal abrasion, body work, metal fabrication, and general repair work on ferrous materials. The thin 1/32 inch profile reduces material loss at the cut line and minimizes heat buildup during use. It is packaged in quantities of 100 units, making it a practical choice for shops and service professionals who go through cutting wheels regularly. It is rated for die grinders and air grinders exclusively and should not be mounted on angle grinders or other rotary tools outside its design specification.

Compatibility

Designed for use on die grinders and air grinders only. Suitable for cutting and abrading ferrous materials in metal fabrication, body work, and general repair applications.

Installation Notes

Mounting and wheel changes must be performed by a qualified operator with the grinder fully powered off, disconnected from the air supply, and pressure bled from the line before any work begins. Verify that the arbor size and maximum RPM rating of the grinder match the wheel specifications before mounting. Always install the wheel with the proper flanges and tighten per the tool manufacturer guidelines. Inspect the wheel for cracks or chips before each use and never operate a damaged abrasive wheel.
