69947 - Pferd 4.5 Inch .040 Thin Cut-Off Wheel for Steel

Slice Through Steel with the Pferd 69947

When you are under the hood and need to make a quick, clean cut, you don't want a wheel that bogs down your grinder or wanders off the line. The Pferd 69947 4-1/2" Cut-Off Wheel is built for welders who need reliability and speed. With a thickness of just .040 inches, this wheel is a true "slicer." It glides through steel brackets, tubing, and plate with minimal effort, letting your grinder maintain its RPMs for a smooth, aggressive cut. The thinner profile also means you aren't turning valuable metal into dust—you're just separating it cleanly.

This wheel uses a tough Aluminum Oxide abrasive that is specifically tuned for carbon steel applications. Whether you are cutting out old welds, sizing stock for a fit-up, or trimming angle iron, the Pferd 69947 delivers a bite that lasts. It features a Type 1 flat center, which is preferred by many fabricators for making straight, deep cuts without the interference of a depressed center hub. This design allows you to utilize more of the wheel's diameter, getting the most value out of every disc.

Pferd is known for consistency. You won't find soft spots or wobble in these wheels. They run true and cut cool, which helps keep your workpiece from overheating and warping—a huge plus when working on thinner gauge materials. Pair this wheel with your favorite 4.5-inch grinder and experience the difference a premium abrasive makes in your daily fabrication tasks. Remember to always use a proper guard and safety gear when using cut-off wheels.
