OVERVIEW

Fast, Non-Loading Cuts for Aluminum Fabrication

Welders know that cutting aluminum requires a different approach than steel. Standard cutting wheels can quickly gum up, causing the grinder to bog down and creating messy, hot cuts that ruin the temper of the material. The Pferd 63177 4-1/2" Cut-Off Wheel is the solution for professional welders demanding speed and precision. Part of Pferd's SG-ELASTIC line, this wheel is formulated specifically to resist loading, ensuring that the abrasive grains remain exposed and effective from the first cut to the last.

At just .045 inches thick, this wheel slices through aluminum sheet, tubing, and extrusions with incredible speed. The thin kerf removes less material, which means less dust and less wasted metal. For the welder, this translates to cleaner joint preparation and tighter fit-ups, which are crucial for high-quality TIG and MIG aluminum welding. The Type 1 flat profile allows for deep, perpendicular cuts, making it ideal for parting off material or cutting notches in structural components.

Durability is a key feature of the Pferd brand. Despite its thin profile, the 63177 is reinforced to withstand the rigors of daily industrial use. It provides a long service life, reducing the frequency of wheel changes and keeping your production moving. Whether you are building aluminum trailers, repairing boat hulls, or fabricating custom architectural elements, this wheel delivers the cool, smooth cutting action required to maintain the integrity of the base metal. Stop struggling with clogged wheels and switch to a dedicated aluminum abrasive solution.

FAQ

Aluminum is a soft, gummy metal that melts easily. Standard wheels designed for steel will 'load' or clog with aluminum, causing them to stop cutting and overheat. This wheel has special fillers to prevent this adhesion.

This wheel is .045 inches thick, providing a very fast and precise cut with minimal material waste.

While it physically can cut steel, it is formulated for soft metals. Using it on hard steel or stainless will result in very rapid wear. It is best to use a wheel dedicated to steel for those applications.

The arbor hole is 7/8" (22.23mm), which is the standard size for most 4-1/2" angle grinders.

No, this is a Type 1 cut-off wheel designed for cutting only. It should never be used for side grinding as it is too thin and could shatter.

Pferd designs these wheels to be free of fillers that would leave undesirable residues on the aluminum, ensuring a clean surface for subsequent welding.

Always check the label on the wheel itself, but standard 4-1/2" wheels are typically rated for around 13,300 RPM.

Type 1 refers to the shape of the wheel. It is completely flat, as opposed to Type 27 which has a depressed center. Type 1 is generally preferred for deep cutting.
