Forney Industries Inc 71876 Type 27 Grinding Wheel 4in

Product Description

The FORNEY INDUSTRIES INC 71876 is a Type 27 depressed center grinding wheel engineered for aggressive material removal on ferrous metals. Measuring 4 inches in diameter and 1/4 inch thick with a 5/8 inch arbor bore, this wheel is constructed from aluminum oxide abrasive, a proven material for cutting, shaping, and surface conditioning steel and iron. The depressed center profile keeps the disc body clear of the workpiece edge, allowing better access to welds, joints, and flat surfaces. Each unit ships in a package of 25 wheels, making this a practical choice for shops and contractors with steady grinding volume.

This grinding wheel is suited for metal fabrication, body work, general repair, and metal abrasion tasks performed with a right angle grinder. Typical applications include weld dressing, deburring, and surface preparation on structural steel, pipe, sheet metal, and cast iron. The aluminum oxide construction handles the heat and friction demands of continuous ferrous-metal grinding without excessive loading or glazing. It is a standard consumable in fabrication shops, welding operations, and field maintenance work.

Installation Notes

Mounting and replacement of grinding wheels must be performed by qualified personnel following ANSI B7.1 safety standards and the grinder manufacturer guidelines. Always disconnect power and verify the grinder is fully stopped before removing or installing a wheel. Inspect the wheel for cracks or damage before each use and never operate above the rated RPM marked on the wheel.
