44862 - Pferd Policlean Stripping Wheel 4.5 Inch Type 27

Strip Paint and Rust Fast with Pferd Policlean

Tired of spending hours scraping paint or battling with wire wheels that shed bristles? The Pferd Policlean 4-1/2" Disc (44862) is your solution for fast, safe, and effective surface cleaning. This "clean and strip" style wheel is designed to aggressively remove unwanted layers—like rust, old paint, varnish, and mill scale—while being gentle on the metal underneath. It’s the perfect prep tool for welders who need a clean surface before laying a bead, or for anyone restoring metal parts to their original glory.

The secret lies in the coarse, non-woven synthetic material. It looks like a sponge but acts like a grinder. Because the structure is open and airy, it doesn't get gummed up with paint or gunk. This means you can keep working without stopping to clean the wheel or swap it out. The Type 27 shape (depressed center) allows you to get the nut recessed, giving you a flat grinding angle that is comfortable to use on your standard 4-1/2" angle grinder. It mounts easily with your grinder's standard flange nut.

Why Choose Policlean Over Wire Brushes?

• Safety: No loose wires flying at you or sticking in your clothes.
• Finish: Leaves a clean, smooth surface ready for welding or painting, rather than deep scratches.
• Speed: Cuts through coatings much faster than manual brushing or sanding.
• Cool Running: The open web design keeps the workpiece cool, preventing warping on thin sheet metal.

Whether you are cleaning up a trailer frame, prepping a car body, or removing heat discoloration from a stainless steel weld, the Pferd 44862 is a must-have in your shop. It works on steel, aluminum, stainless, and even wood or concrete. Get the job done right and protect your base material with Pferd quality.
