PFERD Grinding Wheel

PFERD Grinding Wheels: Precision Engineering Since 1799

When professionals in metalworking, fabrication, and industrial maintenance reach for a grinding wheel, few names carry the weight of PFERD. Founded in 1799 in Marienheide, Germany, PFERD has spent over two centuries refining abrasive technology — and their grinding wheels represent some of the most advanced tools that heritage has produced.

The VICTOGRAIN® Advantage

At the heart of PFERD's most advanced grinding wheels is their proprietary VICTOGRAIN® ceramic abrasive grain technology. Unlike conventional random-shaped grains, VICTOGRAIN features precision-molded, triangular abrasive grains that are identical in shape and size. Their cutting edges are applied to the workpiece at the optimum angle, meaning the grain needs very little energy to penetrate the workpiece. Each grain triangle is firmly fixed on one of its sides to the backing material, and the slim design creates an extremely large chip space for maximum cutting efficiency. The very fine crystalline structure ensures that sharp cutting edges are always exposed, with the minimum amount of abrasive breaking off from the triangle — resulting in cool grinding, consistent performance, and an exceptionally long service life.

CC-GRIND®-ROBUST: A Modern Alternative

PFERD's CC-GRIND®-ROBUST line takes the VICTOGRAIN advantage further by delivering what PFERD describes as a modern, high-performance ergonomic alternative to conventional grinding wheels, flap discs, and fiber discs. The fiberglass-reinforced plastic backing pad facilitates robust, reliable use even in demanding conditions, while noise, vibrations, and dust are significantly reduced compared to traditional wheels. In contrast to flap discs, the CC-GRIND®-ROBUST achieves flat surfaces due to its dimensional stability — an important trait for precision metalwork on steel and stainless steel (INOX).

For those who need a visual assist, the CC-GRIND® VIEW variant adds a transparent viewing pane to the backing, allowing users to easily maintain an optimal contact angle based on visible sparking through the pane — a thoughtful ergonomic innovation that reduces operator fatigue and improves consistency.

SGP STEELOX Special Line

PFERD's SGP STEELOX Special Line includes products specifically engineered for steel and stainless steel applications. These wheels deliver key performance advantages over conventional products and are optimized for ultimate economic efficiency — meaning longer consumable life and less machine downtime. The combination of SGP STEELOX designation with VICTOGRAIN ceramic grain represents the top tier of PFERD's grinding wheel lineup.

Safety and Certification

PFERD is a founding member of the oSa (Organisation for the Safety of Abrasives) since 2000, and all abrasive products carry the oSa safety mark. Their products comply with standards EN 12413, EN 13236, and EN 13743, and the company holds both ISO 9001:2015 (quality management) and ISO 14001 (environmental management) certifications. For professionals, this translates to confidence at the angle grinder — every disc performs to spec, every time.
