Forney Industries Inc 71865 Type 1 Cut-off Wheel 12x3/32 in

Product Description

The FORNEY INDUSTRIES INC 71865 is a Type 1 aluminum oxide cut-off wheel engineered for high-speed metal cutting on chop saws. Measuring 12 inches in diameter with a 3/32-inch thickness and a 1-inch arbor bore, this wheel is built for aggressive material removal on ferrous stock. The aluminum oxide abrasive grain delivers consistent cutting action through steel and iron without loading or glazing. Each package contains 10 wheels, making it a practical choice for shops and field fabricators who run high cutting volumes. Installation and use are restricted to chop saws only.

This cut-off wheel is suited for professional applications including metal cutting, metal abrasion, body work, metal fabrication, and general repair work on ferrous materials. It is appropriate for use in fabrication shops, automotive body shops, and industrial maintenance settings where a chop saw is the primary cutting tool. The Type 1 flat profile ensures full face contact with the workpiece and is the standard geometry for chop saw cutting operations.
