Pferd 61340396 Type 1 Cut-off Wheel 4.5 in 46 Grit

Product Description

The PFERD 61340396 is a Type 1 (01/41) flat cut-off wheel designed for aggressive cutting on stainless steel and similar hard metals. It measures 4-1/2 inches in diameter with a 0.030-inch thickness and a 7/8-inch arbor hole, making it a thin-kerf wheel that minimizes material loss and heat buildup during cuts. The abrasive is aluminum oxide with a resinoid bond and a hardness code of R, rated for a maximum of 13300 RPM. It carries an A46R specification designation. This wheel is installed on angle grinders and is a standard tool for metal fabricators, pipefitters, welders, and maintenance technicians working with ferrous and stainless materials.

This cut-off wheel is suited for use in fabrication shops, field pipework, and structural steel applications where clean, controlled cuts on stainless steel are required. The 46-grit aluminum oxide construction delivers a balance between cut speed and wheel life. Its compact 4-1/2-inch diameter fits the most common class of angle grinders used in residential, commercial, and industrial settings. It is a single-piece per package item.

Installation Notes

Installation and operation must be performed by a qualified operator familiar with abrasive wheel safety. Verify the grinder's rated RPM meets or exceeds the wheel's 13300 RPM maximum before mounting. Inspect the wheel for cracks or damage before each use and never operate a damaged wheel. Always use the appropriate guard and personal protective equipment in accordance with ANSI B7.1 and the tool manufacturer's guidelines.
