OVERVIEW

Industrial Grade A38 Grinding Point

Maximize your die grinder's potential with the Pferd 35149 A38 Mounted Point. Designed for the rigorous demands of industrial fabrication and maintenance, this abrasive tool combines a tough aluminum oxide grain with a durable vitrified bond. The A38 shape—a simple 1-inch by 1-inch cylinder—is one of the most widely used profiles in the industry because of its ability to grind both flat surfaces and inside diameters effectively. It is an essential consumable for welders, tool and die makers, and MRO professionals.

The 46-grit specification ensures aggressive material removal rates, allowing operators to quickly grind down excess metal, smooth out rough edges, or prep surfaces for subsequent finishing steps. The vitrified bond system holds the abrasive grains securely, providing a cool cutting action that reduces the risk of thermal damage to the workpiece. With a hardness rating of 'N', this point is specifically optimized for use on steel and cast steel, offering a long service life and resisting premature wear better than softer grades.

Safety and precision are paramount in high-speed grinding. Pferd mounted points are manufactured to strict tolerances to ensure the shank is perfectly centered, minimizing vibration and runout. This results in a smoother operation, less operator fatigue, and a higher quality finish on the part. The 1/4-inch shank is the industry standard, ensuring easy fitment into collets of straight and extended die grinders. When you need a reliable abrasive for detailed metal removal, the Pferd 35149 stands out as a top-tier choice.

FAQ

The A38 shape is a cylinder (1" x 1") which is excellent for grinding inside holes, bores, and against flat surfaces or corners where a straight edge is required.

This point features aluminum oxide grain with 'N' hardness, making it ideal for steel, cast steel, and high-tensile ferrous alloys. It is not recommended for soft non-ferrous metals like aluminum as it may clog.

You will need a die grinder (air or electric) equipped with a 1/4-inch collet.

For a standard 1" x 1" mounted point with a 1/2" overhang, the maximum operating speed is typically around 19,800 RPM. Always check the manufacturer's specific safety rating and adjust for shank overhang.

Yes, mounted points may need dressing periodically to restore their shape or to expose fresh abrasive grain if they become glazed or loaded.

The 'N' indicates a medium-hard bond. This hardness is sufficient to hold the shape of the tool while breaking down slowly enough to reveal sharp grain, making it excellent for general steel grinding.

While aluminum oxide can grind stainless steel, specialized bonds (often pink or ruby) are sometimes preferred to prevent heat buildup. However, this general-purpose point can be used on stainless for rough grinding.
