About Pferd

The PFERD Tools catalogue comprises cut-off & grinding wheels, flap discs, files, industrial power brushes, abrasive mandrels, rotary cutters, hole saws, step drill bits and finishing stones. PFERD flap discs are ideal for grinding and finishing metal surfaces, as well as for deburring, rust removal & weld seam blending. These flap discs feature aluminium oxide / zirconia alumina / ceramic abrasive fibreglass backing for additional toughness so that the discs do not shatter during grinding. They have a grit size of 40 / 60 microns & a maximum speed rating of 13300 rpm. They are available in disc diameters of 4.5, 5, 6 & 7 inches. The brand's car body files are designed for sanding flat / convex / concave surfaces and provide a sleek, scratch-free finish. These tanged PFERD files do not require any file holder. The company also offers flat car body files featuring two mounting holes for use with an adjustable file holder.

Things to Consider

Cross-Reference Alternatives

PFERD Tools' MPNs cross individual references to the equivalent Norton Abrasives model numbers. So if you are looking for competitor items that are either out of stock or obsolete, chances are Raptor Supplies has the equivalent PFERD Tools abrasive products available. Customers can also cross-reference most products using the last 5 digits of the model numbers.

Shipping

PFERD Tools flap discs are available in disc diameters ranging between 2 and 7 inches and operating speeds from 8600 to 19100 rpm. They are small in size and require careful packaging as some products might get damaged while shipping. Hence, they are delivered by courier shipment and not air freight for minimum downtime.
