61741 - Pferd 6-Inch Bench Grinder Wheel 60 Grit Aluminum Oxide

Upgrade Your Workshop with Pferd Abrasives

Maximize the potential of your bench grinder with the Pferd 61741 6" x 3/4" x 1" Aluminum Oxide Wheel. A bench grinder is only as good as the wheel you put on it, and Pferd delivers German-engineered quality that transforms a standard grinder into a precision tool. This wheel is designed for general-purpose grinding, making it a staple accessory for welders, mechanics, and DIY enthusiasts who work with steel.

Versatile 60 Grit Texture

Choosing the right grit is essential for efficient work. This wheel features a 60-grit texture, which strikes the perfect middle ground between coarse stock removal and fine finishing.

• Sharpening: It is excellent for restoring edges on lawnmower blades, axes, shovels, and cold chisels.
• Deburring: Quickly smooth out rough cuts from chop saws or bandsaws.
• Shaping: Grind down bolts, rivets, or metal stock to exact dimensions.

Unlike coarser 36-grit wheels that leave deep scratches, the 60-grit surface leaves a smoother finish that requires less secondary work.

Durable Construction

The wheel is constructed with a vitrified bond, which holds the aluminum oxide grains securely until they fracture to reveal new, sharp cutting edges. This self-sharpening action prevents the wheel from glazing over quickly, provided it is dressed occasionally. The grey aluminum oxide material is tough and fracture-resistant, specifically suited for carbon steels and other high-tensile materials. It runs cool to help prevent tempering or "burning" your tools during sharpening.

With a 1-inch arbor, this wheel fits heavy-duty bench grinders. Please verify your grinder's shaft size before purchasing; while many 6-inch grinders have 1/2-inch or 5/8-inch shafts, this industrial-spec wheel is designed for machines requiring a 1-inch bore (or requires bushings, sold separately, if adapting to smaller shafts). Invest in Pferd quality for a balanced, smooth-running grinding experience that improves safety and results.
