63178 - Pferd 5" x .045" Aluminum Cut-Off Wheel Type 1 (63178)

Stop Your Wheels from Clogging on Aluminum

If you have ever tried to cut aluminum with a standard abrasive wheel, you know the frustration of the wheel "loading up." The soft metal melts and sticks to the wheel, turning your cutting disc into a useless friction heater. The Pferd 63178 5-inch Cut-Off Wheel is the solution you have been looking for. Designed specifically for aluminum and non-ferrous metals, this wheel features a special recipe that prevents the metal from clogging the grain. This means you can keep cutting smoothly from the first spark to the last, without the wheel bogging down or kicking back.

This wheel is a "Type 1" flat wheel, which is perfect for making straight, deep cuts in aluminum sheets, tubing, or bar stock. With a thickness of just .045 inches, it removes very little material, which translates to faster cuts and less dust. The thin profile also means your grinder doesn't have to work as hard, saving wear and tear on your tool and your arms. Whether you are building a custom aluminum boat, repairing a trailer, or working on an intercooler setup, this wheel gives you the control and speed you need for a professional finish.

Pferd is known for making some of the longest-lasting abrasives in the industry, and this aluminum-specific wheel is no exception. Because it doesn't load up, you use the entire wheel rather than throwing it away half-used because it stopped cutting. It fits any standard 5-inch angle grinder with a 7/8-inch arbor, so it's ready to go with the tools you already own. Say goodbye to the hassle of waxing your wheels or fighting through gummy cuts.

Safety and performance go hand in hand with the Pferd 63178. The specialized fillers not only prevent clogging but also help the wheel cut cooler. Cooler cuts mean less burr formation on your aluminum parts, saving you time on cleanup and prep before welding. Upgrade your abrasive game and experience the difference a purpose-built aluminum cutting wheel can make in your shop. It is the reliable choice for welders who demand quality and efficiency in every cut.
