OVERVIEW

Smooth Cuts, Less Hassle

When you're in the middle of a project, the last thing you want is a cutting wheel that bogs down or burns up halfway through a cut. The Pferd 63170 4-1/2" Cut-Off Wheel is built for welders who demand speed and control. Known for its "smooth, fast cutting action," this .045" slicer glides through steel and stainless steel like butter, leaving you with a clean edge that's ready to weld.

The secret lies in the high-quality Aluminum Oxide grain and the optimized bond. Unlike cheaper wheels that glaze over or shatter under pressure, the Pferd 63170 maintains its cutting edge, allowing you to let the tool do the work. You don't need to lean on the grinder; just guide it through the metal. This means less strain on your wrists and arms at the end of a long day. The Type 1 flat shape is perfect for getting into tight spots or making precise vertical cuts where a depressed center wheel might get in the way.

Whether you are chopping rebar, slicing through angle iron, or trimming stainless exhaust pipe, this wheel holds up. It's designed to be "Long Lasting," so you spend more time fabricating and less time swapping out worn-down discs. It’s a reliable go-to wheel for your 4.5-inch grinder that handles both mild steel and stainless without contaminating the material.

Why Choose Pferd?

Pferd is a trusted name in abrasives, and this wheel shows why. It offers a predictable, safe, and efficient cutting experience. If you are tired of wheels that wobble or wear out in seconds, upgrade to the Pferd 63170 and feel the difference in your daily grind.

FAQ

This wheel is designed for use on Steel (Carbon Steel) and Stainless Steel (INOX), as well as all ferrous metals and high-temperature alloys.

Type 1 wheels are completely flat, making them ideal for deep vertical cuts and cutting 90 degrees to the surface. Type 27 wheels have a depressed center, which can sometimes interfere with deep cuts but allows for flush cutting.

It fits standard 4-1/2 inch (115mm) angle grinders with a 7/8 inch arbor.

No, this is a .045" thick cut-off wheel. It is designed for cutting only (using the edge). Using it for side grinding is dangerous and can cause the wheel to shatter.

The wheel is .045 inches thick, which is considered a thin cut-off wheel for fast, low-waste cutting.

While specific contaminant levels aren't listed in the short description, wheels marked for Stainless Steel (INOX) generally have low levels of these contaminants to prevent corrosion, but check the physical label for 'Contaminant Free' certification if critical.

A .045 wheel removes less material, cuts significantly faster, and generates less heat than a thicker 1/8 inch wheel.

It uses Aluminum Oxide grain, which is the industry standard for tough, durable cutting on ferrous metals.
