OVERVIEW

Reliable Grinding Power for Mild Steel

When you are prepping a joint or cleaning up a heavy weld bead, you need a wheel that bites into the metal immediately and doesn't fight you. The Pferd 60007 5-inch grinding wheel is built for exactly that. Designed for use on mild steel, this wheel features a tough aluminum oxide grain that rips through stock, making short work of spatter, slag, and excess weld metal. If you are running a standard shop grinder in the 5 to 7 Amp range, this wheel is a game-changer—it is tuned to cut freely without requiring you to lean heavily on the tool, which saves your arms and keeps your grinder running cool.

The Type 27 depressed center shape gives you the clearance you need to get into tight spots or grind flat surfaces without the mounting nut getting in the way. At 1/4-inch thick, it is rigid and durable, capable of handling the side-loading pressure of aggressive grinding and edge work. Unlike cheaper wheels that might vibrate or disintegrate quickly, Pferd wheels are balanced and reinforced, giving you a smooth, predictable feel that lets you focus on the quality of your work rather than fighting the abrasive.

Whether you are beveling plates for a V-groove, smoothing out a repair on heavy equipment, or just deburring cut edges, this wheel delivers consistent performance from the first spark to the stub. It resists glazing, meaning you won't have to stop constantly to dress the wheel or swap it out prematurely. For welders who demand professional results and reliable tools, the Pferd 60007 is a staple for the tool bag.

Why Welders Choose This Wheel

  • Fast Cutting: Aggressive grain removes metal quickly.
  • Smooth Action: Balanced construction reduces vibration and fatigue.
  • Non-Glazing: Bond breaks down perfectly to keep fresh grain exposed.
  • Versatile: Great for everything from heavy stock removal to edge chamfering.

FAQ

This wheel is designed specifically for use on steel and other ferrous metals. It uses aluminum oxide grain which is ideal for carbon steel.

While it can physically grind stainless, it is not recommended. It may cause contamination (rust) on the stainless surface and will likely wear faster. For stainless steel, look for a wheel marked 'INOX' or 'Stainless'.

The arbor size is 7/8 inch, which is the industry standard for 4-1/2, 5, 7, and 9-inch angle grinders.

Type 27 refers to the shape of the wheel. It has a depressed center, which allows the mounting nut to sit recessed, enabling the operator to grind on the face of the wheel at a 15-30 degree angle without interference.

No, this is a 1/4-inch thick grinding wheel. It is designed for surface grinding and stock removal. For cutting, you should use a Type 1 or Type 27 cutting wheel (usually .045" or 1/8" thick).

The maximum safe operating speed is typically 12,200 RPM for 5-inch bonded abrasive wheels. Always check the label on the wheel itself to confirm before use.

This indicates the bond hardness is optimized for lower-power grinders. It ensures the wheel cuts freely without requiring the high torque that larger, industrial grinders provide, preventing the tool from stalling.

Packaging quantities can vary, but industrial grinding wheels are typically sold in boxes of 10 or 25. Please check the specific listing quantity.
