OVERVIEW

Reliable Grinding for Everyday Steel Fabrication

Every welder knows the frustration of slapping a new grinding wheel on a smaller shop grinder only to have it skate across the metal, heat up, and glaze over. It feels like you are polishing the weld rather than grinding it. The Pferd 60006 solves this problem. It is a 4-1/2 inch grinding wheel specifically designed to pair with the 5-7 Amp angle grinders that are common in many toolboxes. By tuning the bond of the wheel to match the power of these lighter tools, Pferd ensures you get aggressive stock removal without needing a heavy-duty industrial grinder to drive it.

This wheel is part of Pferd's PSF line, which is their "General Purpose" series, but don't let the name fool you. In the world of abrasives, "General Purpose" from a top-tier manufacturer like Pferd means professional-grade consistency. You get a tough 1/4-inch thick wheel that can handle digging into root passes, beveling plate edges, or smoothing out heavy cap welds on mild steel. The Type 27 depressed center shape gives you the clearance you need to get into tight spots while protecting the mounting nut.

Whether you are a hobbyist working in a garage or a pro doing light fabrication and repairs, having a stack of these wheels means you are ready for any steel job. They offer a great balance of life and cut speed, so you aren't changing wheels every five minutes, but you also aren't fighting the tool to get the sparks flying. Trust Pferd to keep your edges clean and your welds smooth.

Why Choose This Wheel?

  • Stops Glazing: Softer bond works perfectly with lower-torque grinders.
  • Built for Steel: aggressive aluminum oxide grain eats through mild steel.
  • Standard Fit: Fits almost any 4.5" grinder with a 7/8" arbor.
  • Durable: 1/4" thickness stands up to heavy pressure.

FAQ

The Pferd 60006 is designed specifically for use on steel and other ferrous metals. It uses aluminum oxide grain which is ideal for these materials.

This wheel fits most standard 4-1/2 inch angle grinders that have a 7/8 inch arbor. It is specifically optimized for grinders with a 5-7 Amp power rating.

Type 27 refers to the shape of the wheel. It has a depressed center, which allows the locking nut to sit recessed, enabling you to grind on the face of the wheel at a 30-45 degree angle without the nut interfering with the workpiece.

While it can physically grind stainless steel, it is not recommended. This wheel is formulated for mild steel. Using it on stainless may cause contamination (rust issues later) and heat buildup. Look for wheels marked 'INOX' or 'Stainless' for those applications.

Grinding wheels are formulated with different bond hardnesses. A wheel designed for a high-power grinder is often too hard for a low-power (5-7 Amp) grinder, causing it to glaze over and stop cutting. This wheel is softer, allowing it to break down and self-sharpen even on less powerful tools.

This is a grinding wheel. It is 1/4 inch thick, which is designed for side-loading and heavy stock removal. Do not use it for cutting off material; use a thin cut-off wheel (Type 1 or Type 27 cut-off) for that purpose.

Always check the label on the actual wheel before use, but standard 4-1/2" grinding wheels are typically rated for around 13,300 RPM.
