Forney Industries Inc 71896 Type 27 Grinding Wheel 4in Masonry

Product Description

The FORNEY INDUSTRIES INC 71896 is a Type 27 depressed center grinding wheel designed for material removal on masonry, ceramic, plastic, and other non-ferrous surfaces. Measuring 4 inches in diameter with a 1/4 inch thickness and a 5/8 inch arbor bore, it mounts directly to standard right angle grinders. The wheel is constructed from silicon carbide abrasive and reinforced with dual fiberglass layers, providing the structural integrity needed for aggressive grinding at elevated RPM. It is sold in a package of 25 wheels, making it a practical stock item for contractors and tradespeople who work through abrasives at a high rate.

This wheel is suited for masonry work including concrete, block, tile, and similar non-ferrous substrates commonly encountered in construction, renovation, and surface preparation. The depressed center profile keeps the grinding face below the flange plane, allowing flat surface access and reducing interference from the guard during use. It is appropriate for professionals who regularly grind mortar joints, shape masonry units, or prep surfaces before setting or coating.
