Pferd 61340394 Cut-off Wheel 4-1/2 in 60 Grit Aluminum Oxide

Product Description

The PFERD 61340394 is a Type 1 flat cut-off wheel designed for use with angle grinders in metal fabrication and maintenance applications. Built with aluminum oxide abrasive and a resinoid bond, this reinforced wheel delivers consistent cutting action on steel and stainless steel. It measures 4-1/2 inches in diameter with a 7/8-inch arbor hole and a 0.030-inch thickness, making it a thin-kerf wheel suited for fast, low-heat cuts. Rated to a maximum of 13,300 RPM, it carries a hardness code of S and meets A46S specifications. Licensed trades and production fabricators rely on this wheel for precision cut-off work where material integrity matters.

This wheel is intended for cutting steel and stainless steel in both shop and field environments. Typical applications include structural steel fabrication, pipe cutting, sheet metal work, and general metal maintenance. Its 4-1/2-inch diameter fits standard angle grinders common to HVAC, plumbing, and general mechanical trades. The thin 0.030-inch profile minimizes material loss at the cut line and reduces heat buildup in the workpiece. It is sold individually per package with a minimum order quantity of 25 units.

Key Features

• Aluminum oxide abrasive with resinoid bond for consistent cutting on ferrous and stainless metals
• Type 1 flat wheel profile for straight cut-off applications
• 0.030-inch thin-kerf thickness reduces heat and material loss at the cut
• 13,300 RPM maximum speed rating for standard 4-1/2-inch angle grinders
• A46S specification and reinforced construction for added wheel integrity
• Hardness code S provides durability across varied steel cutting conditions

Compatibility

Designed for use on steel and stainless steel with 4-1/2-inch angle grinders accepting a 7/8-inch arbor. Suitable for any grinder rated at or above 13,300 RPM with the appropriate guard in place.

Installation Notes

Mount the wheel on a grinder equipped with the correct guard for Type 1 cut-off wheels before operation. Verify the grinder RPM rating meets or exceeds the 13,300 RPM maximum marked on the wheel. Never use a cut-off wheel for grinding or side-loading forces, as this wheel type is engineered for straight cutting only. Inspect the wheel for cracks or chips before each use and discard any damaged wheel immediately.
