The Pferd 61790 Bench Wheel is a high-performance abrasive tool engineered for specific industrial applications requiring superior hardness and sharp cutting capabilities. Manufactured with premium Silicon Carbide (SiC) grain, this 6-inch by 1-inch wheel is distinct from standard aluminum oxide wheels due to its extremely hard, sharp, and brittle abrasive structure. This composition makes it the ideal choice for working with materials that are either very hard, such as cemented carbides, or soft and non-ferrous, such as aluminum, copper, brass, and bronze.
Featuring a 120-grit specification, this wheel is classified as fine, making it suitable for finishing operations, deburring, and the precision sharpening of cutting tools. The vitrified bond holds the abrasive grains securely while allowing for a porous structure that promotes airflow, thereby reducing thermal transfer to the workpiece. This is critical when grinding heat-sensitive materials or precision tools where maintaining temper is essential. The wheel is designed to fit standard bench and pedestal grinders, typically supplied with telescoping bushings to accommodate arbor sizes ranging from 1/2 inch to 1 inch.
Industrial professionals rely on Pferd's vitrified bench wheels for their consistency and balance. A well-balanced wheel reduces vibration on the bench grinder, leading to safer operation and superior surface finishes. Whether utilized in a tool and die shop for maintaining carbide inserts or in a general fabrication environment for dressing non-ferrous components, the Pferd 61790 delivers reliable, cool-cutting performance. Proper dressing of the wheel is recommended to maintain the cutting face and expose fresh abrasive grains for optimal efficiency.
