63163 - Pferd 5-Inch Type 27 Steel Cut-Off Wheel .040 Thickness

Experience Precision and Speed with Pferd Abrasives

For professional welders and fabricators, the cutting wheel is an extension of the hand. The Pferd 63163 5-inch Cut-Off Wheel is built to give you the control and speed you need when slicing through steel. If you are tired of wheels that bog down, glaze over, or shatter under pressure, this .040-inch thin wheel is the upgrade your grinder deserves. The premium aluminum oxide grain bites into the metal instantly, creating a clean, narrow kerf that requires little to no deburring. This means you spend less time cleaning up edges and more time laying beads.

The standout feature of this wheel is its Type 27 depressed center. Unlike flat wheels, the depressed center allows the locking nut to sit recessed, giving you better clearance when working at tight angles or when you need to make flush cuts against a surface. It also adds a layer of stiffness to the wheel, preventing the wobble that can occur with thinner flat discs. This rigidity gives you the confidence to make straight, accurate cuts through pipe, angle iron, or plate steel without the wheel flexing off-line.

Heat is the enemy of both your workpiece and your consumables. The ultra-thin .040-inch profile of the Pferd 63163 generates significantly less heat than standard 1/8-inch or even .045-inch wheels. This reduction in heat helps prevent the "blueing" or discoloration of the steel near the cut zone, preserving the metallurgical properties of the base metal and ensuring a better fit-up for welding. Whether you are in the field or in the shop, trust Pferd to deliver a cut-off wheel that works as hard as you do.
