OVERVIEW

Get the Job Done with Pferd 63162

When you are out in the shop or on the job site, you need a cutting wheel that cuts fast and doesn't quit halfway through the pipe. The Pferd 63162 4.5-inch cut-off wheel is built for exactly that. This isn't just another generic disc; it's a high-performance tool designed to slice through steel with ease. Whether you are cutting angle iron, tubing, or sheet metal, this wheel gives you the bite you need to make clean, precise cuts every time.

The standout feature here is the Type 27 depressed center. If you've ever tried to cut a bolt flush or trim a bracket close to a wall with a flat wheel, you know the struggle—the grinder nut gets in the way. With the Type 27 shape, the center is pushed back, allowing you to get the wheel flat against the work surface for a true flush cut. It also makes the wheel stiffer, giving you more confidence when you're leaning into a cut.

At just .040 inches thick, this wheel is a "slicer." It moves through metal like butter compared to thicker 1/8-inch wheels. This means you finish the cut faster, your grinder doesn't have to work as hard, and you aren't left with a massive burr to grind off later. Less heat means less warping on thin sheet metal, too. It's the kind of efficiency that saves you time and frustration over the course of a long day.

Pferd is known for quality abrasives, and this wheel lives up to the name. The aluminum oxide grain is tough enough to handle structural steel without shattering or wearing down instantly. It fits your standard 4-1/2" grinder with a 7/8" arbor, so you can slap it on and get straight to work. If you work with steel and need a reliable, fast-cutting wheel that can handle tight spots, the Pferd 63162 is the disc you want in your toolbox.

FAQ

Type 1 wheels are completely flat, while Type 27 wheels have a depressed center (raised hub). The Type 27 design allows for flush cutting and provides extra rigidity.

While it can cut stainless steel, this specific wheel is optimized for general steel. For stainless steel, it is recommended to use a wheel specifically marked 'INNOX' or 'Stainless' to prevent contamination.

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

No, this is a bonded abrasive cut-off wheel and does not require a backing pad. It mounts directly to the grinder using the appropriate flange nuts.

A .040 inch wheel is thinner than standard cutting wheels, allowing for faster cuts, less material waste, and reduced heat generation.

No, this is a cut-off wheel designed for cutting only. It should not be used for side grinding as it may shatter. Use a grinding disc (typically 1/4" thick) for grinding.

Always wear a face shield, safety glasses, gloves, and hearing protection. Ensure the grinder guard is in place.

Always check the label on the wheel itself, but standard 4.5-inch wheels are typically rated for around 13,300 RPM.
