Forney Industries Inc 71877 Type 27 Grinding Wheel 4.5in

Product Description

The FORNEY INDUSTRIES INC 71877 is a Type 27 depressed center grinding wheel designed for aggressive material removal on ferrous metals. Measuring 4.5 inches in diameter with a 0.25-inch thickness and a 7/8-inch arbor bore, this wheel uses an aluminum oxide abrasive bond suited for cutting through steel, iron, and other ferrous materials. It is engineered specifically for use on right-angle grinders and delivers consistent stock removal across metal grinding, metal abrasion, body work, and metal fabrication tasks. Fabricators, welders, and general metalworkers rely on this wheel for both production environments and general repair applications.

This grinding wheel is intended for ferrous metal applications including structural steel fabrication, automotive body work, weld blending, and general repair work on iron and steel components. Its depressed center profile allows the wheel to sit flush against the workpiece, improving operator control and surface contact during grinding passes. The Type 27 configuration is the standard form factor for right-angle grinder use in shop and field settings. This product is sold in a package quantity of 25 wheels, making it practical for shop stocking or crew supply.
