OVERVIEW

Get the Job Done with Pferd 5" Type 27 Cutting Wheels

When you are out in the shop or on the job site, you need a cutting wheel that cuts fast and lasts long. The Pferd 63168C 5-inch cut-off wheel is built for exactly that. Known as a "zip wheel" or thin cutting disc, this .045-inch thick wheel slices through metal with minimal resistance. Because it's so thin, it removes less material, which means your grinder doesn't have to work as hard and you get through the cut faster. It's perfect for chopping through angle iron, tubing, or sheet metal without bogging down.

One of the standout features of this wheel is its Type 27 shape. Unlike flat wheels, this one has a depressed center. This design pushes the locking nut back, allowing you to get the wheel flush against a wall or base plate to cut off bolts or brackets cleanly. It's a huge time-saver when you need a close shave without gouging the surrounding surface. Plus, the "INOX" label means it's safe for your stainless steel projects—it won't leave behind contaminants that cause rust spots later.

Pferd has designed this wheel with a hard bond, meaning it holds up well under pressure and doesn't wear down instantly like cheaper alternatives. Whether you are fabricating a custom exhaust, repairing heavy equipment, or just cutting stock to size, this wheel gives you the control and durability you need. Slap one on your 5-inch grinder and experience the difference a quality abrasive makes in your daily workflow.

FAQ

Type 1 wheels are completely flat, while Type 27 wheels have a depressed center. The Type 27 design allows the locking nut to sit recessed, enabling flush cutting against surfaces.

No, this is a .045" thin cut-off wheel. It is designed only for cutting at a 90-degree angle. Using it for side grinding can cause the wheel to shatter and result in injury.

Yes, the 'INOX' designation indicates it is free of iron, sulfur, and chlorine, preventing contamination and corrosion on stainless steel.

The maximum operating speed is typically 12,200 RPM for a standard 5-inch abrasive wheel. Always check the label on the wheel to confirm.

No, this is a 5-inch wheel. It requires a grinder with a 5-inch guard and appropriate clearance. Do not remove guards to fit larger wheels.

Thinner wheels cut faster, generate less heat, and waste less material. They are ideal for quick, clean cuts but are less rigid than 1/8" wheels.

A46 refers to the grain type and size. 'A' stands for Aluminum Oxide, and '46' is the grit size, which is a medium-coarse grit suitable for general metal cutting.

No, Type 27 reinforced cut-off wheels mount directly to the grinder using the standard flange and locking nut. No backing pad is required.
