63168 - Pferd 5-Inch .045 Type 27 INOX Cut-Off Wheel

The Welder's Choice for Clean, Precise Cuts

When you are prepping a joint or cutting stock for a custom fabrication job, the quality of your cut determines the quality of your weld. The Pferd 63168 5-inch cut-off wheel is designed for welders who demand precision and efficiency. Featuring a Type 27 depressed center, this wheel gives you the versatility to get into tight corners and make flush cuts that flat Type 1 wheels simply can't handle. The raised hub allows the locking nut to sit recessed, letting you work flat against the base material without interference.

Stainless steel can be unforgiving if you use the wrong abrasive. Heat buildup can ruin the corrosion resistance of the metal, and contamination can lead to weld defects. This Pferd wheel is specifically formulated for INOX applications. It cuts cool and fast, thanks to its ultra-thin .045-inch profile. This means less heat input into the base metal, preserving the integrity of your stainless steel and reducing the need for time-consuming rework or passivation. The specialized bond ensures that the wheel doesn't load up or glaze over, keeping the cutting action aggressive from the first spark to the last.

Reliability is key in the shop. You don't want a wheel that shatters or wears down after a few cuts. Pferd's manufacturing process ensures consistent density and balance in every wheel, minimizing vibration and maximizing safety. The 63168 offers excellent life, meaning you spend more time fabricating and less time walking to the tool crib for a replacement. It works exceptionally well on angle grinders, providing a stable and controlled cut through everything from thin gauge sheet to solid bar stock.

Why Welders Prefer This Wheel:

• Flush Cutting: Type 27 shape is perfect for cutting off tack welds or bolts flush to the surface.
• Cool Cutting: Thin kerf reduces heat affected zone (HAZ).
• Contaminant Free: Safe for use on nuclear, food, and chemical grade stainless projects.
• Long Life: Tough bond holds up to aggressive use without sacrificing speed.
