Forney Industries Inc 71866 Type 1 Metal Cutting Wheel 14in

Product Description

The FORNEY INDUSTRIES INC 71866 is a Type 1 aluminum oxide cutting wheel engineered for aggressive metal cutting on chop saws. Measuring 14 inches in diameter with a 3/32-inch thickness and a 1-inch arbor bore, this wheel is built for straight, flat cutting applications on ferrous materials. The aluminum oxide abrasive provides consistent stock removal and a clean cut face, making it a reliable choice for metal fabrication shops and field service work. It is sold in a package of 10 wheels, each rated for use on chop saws only.

This cutting wheel is suited for ferrous metal applications including body work, metal fabrication, and general repair work where material abrasion and precise cutting are required. The Type 1 flat profile is the standard geometry for chop saw and stationary cutoff saw use. Applicable trades include welders, fabricators, and maintenance technicians working on structural steel, pipe, rebar, and sheet metal in both shop and field environments.

Compatibility

Designed for use on chop saws only with ferrous materials. Suitable for metal cutting, body work, and metal fabrication applications as specified by the manufacturer. Not intended for use on angle grinders or other handheld tools.

Installation Notes

Installation and mounting must be performed by a qualified operator familiar with abrasive wheel safety. Before mounting, inspect each wheel for cracks or damage and confirm the chop saw spindle speed does not exceed the wheel's rated RPM. Always use the correct arbor flange and guard assembly per the tool manufacturer's instructions and applicable ANSI B7.1 standards. Never use this Type 1 wheel on angle grinders or any tool other than a chop saw.
