Over 225 Years of Innovation and Quality

  • PFERD—German for “horse”—has stood for strength, speed, and endurance since 1799, when it first began producing hand files for blacksmiths and farriers in Marienheide, Germany. Today, the company is still family-run, but it has evolved into a global industry leader in cutting, grinding, brushing, and surface finishing solutions.

    With operations in over 100 countries, multiple R&D facilities, and a focus on ergonomic innovation, PFERD continues to set the gold standard in industrial-grade abrasives and cutting tools. Their tools are trusted in demanding sectors like metal fabrication, shipbuilding, aerospace, automotive, and heavy industry—where performance isn’t optional.

Products That Set Them Apart

  • Thin Cut-Off Wheels

    PFERD’s thin cut-off discs—especially from the SG-PLUS and SG-INOX lines—are engineered for clean, cool cuts with minimal burr formation and exceptional edge stability. These discs allow users to cut faster, with less pressure, and with minimal heat distortion—making them ideal for steel, stainless, and non-ferrous metals.

    • Ultra-thin profile for reduced kerf loss
    • Cool cutting for longer life and safer operation
    • Low vibration and high cutting speed
    • Available for handheld and stationary tools

    Perfect for everything from pipe and sheet cutting to fine structural work, these discs are a must-have for serious metalworkers.

    POLIFAN® Flap Discs

    PFERD’s POLIFAN® series delivers aggressive stock removal with a smooth, even finish. Their POLIFAN-CURVE discs are uniquely engineered to grind deep into corners and fillet welds—areas where conventional flap discs fall short.

    • Long service life with consistent abrasive performance
    • Options in ceramic, zirconia, and premium aluminum oxide
    • Excellent surface blending with fewer tool changes
    • Low heat build-up, minimal vibration

    These are go-to solutions for weld blending, edge work, and precise finishing—designed for speed without compromising control.

    CC-GRIND® Robust & Solid Discs

    PFERD’s CC-GRIND® line bridges the gap between flap discs and traditional grinding wheels. These lightweight, trimmable discs deliver up to 50% less noise and vibration, making grinding safer and more comfortable without sacrificing performance.

    • Engineered for maximum stock removal and comfort
    • Trimmable backing for extended disc life
    • Lower operator fatigue with ergonomic design
    • Leaves smoother finishes, reducing cleanup time

    They’re ideal for users who spend long hours on the grinder and need a disc that works harder and smarter.

    Carbide Burrs – Unmatched Precision & Longevity

    PFERD’s tungsten carbide burrs are recognized as some of the finest in the world—used by top professionals in aerospace, die-making, fabrication, and heavy industrial repair. These tools offer elite-level performance, designed to withstand high speeds, hard materials, and tight tolerances without breaking stride.

    What sets PFERD burrs apart?

    • Advanced Tooth Geometries: Over a dozen cut styles (ALU, INOX, STEEL, TOUGH, etc.) optimized for different metals and applications
    • Exceptional Balance: Engineered to reduce chatter and vibration, improving operator control and tool longevity
    • Ultra-Long Life: Made from premium carbide for 2–3x the durability of generic burrs
    • High RPM Stability: Perfect for CNC, pneumatic, and electric die grinders
    • Precision Shaping: Ideal for chamfering, deburring, weld prep, and surface finishing—even in hard-to-reach areas

    These burrs aren’t just tools—they’re high-performance components designed for accuracy, speed, and consistency, batch after batch.

Also Available from PFERD

  • Industrial Hand Files

    A cornerstone of PFERD’s history, their hand files remain the industry benchmark for surface shaping and material removal. Known for their clean cut, long life, and superior feel, these are a must-have for any fabricator, machinist, or maintenance tech doing precision manual work.

    • Available in mill, flat, half-round, and needle styles
    • Perfect for finishing, edge shaping, and fine-tuning parts
    • Consistent tooth pattern for predictable results
    • Excellent wear resistance even on hardened materials

    Wire Brushes – Built to Outlast and Outperform

    PFERD’s wire brushes are designed with performance and safety in mind—ideal for everything from weld cleanup to rust removal, surface prep, and paint stripping. What sets them apart is not just build quality, but how they handle under pressure.

    • Dense Wire Fill: Engineered for aggressive action and longer life
    • Superior Balance: Reduces vibration and hand fatigue during extended use
    • Wide Variety of Configurations: Available in crimped, knotted, cup, bevel, and end brush formats
    • Multiple Wire Types: Carbon steel, stainless steel, brass, and specialty wires for different materials
    • Optimized for Safety: Tested for RPM stability and shaft integrity—even in high-speed applications

    Whether you’re cleaning spatter from a weld, prepping a part for coating, or polishing stainless, these brushes provide controlled aggression without compromising finish or safety.

    Surface Conditioning & Prep Tools

    PFERD also manufactures a full line of non-woven abrasives, finishing wheels, and specialty prep tools designed to deliver uniform finishes and consistent surface profiles. Great for blending, cleaning, and satin-finishing operations where precision and repeatability matter.

    • Ideal for deburring, oxidization removal, and blending lines
    • Available in wheels, belts, and flap formats
    • Compatible with right-angle grinders, bench grinders, and more

  • VICTOGRAIN® – Maximum Performance Abrasive Technology

    VICTOGRAIN® is PFERD’s cutting-edge abrasive innovation—engineered for unmatched grinding efficiency, cooler operation, and significantly longer tool life. At the core of this technology are precisely shaped triangular ceramic grains, designed to penetrate material surfaces with razor-sharp edges while generating minimal heat.

    Why VICTOGRAIN® Stands Out:

    • Triangular Grain Shape = Controlled, Aggressive Cut
    • Cool Grinding = Longer Life
    • Uniform Wear = Consistent Performance
    • Reduced Vibration and Operator Fatigue

    Available in:

    • Flap discs (POLIFAN®-STRONG & POLIFAN®-CURVE with VICTOGRAIN®)
    • Fiber discs
    • Compact grinding discs (CC-GRIND®-SOLID-VICTOGRAIN®)

    These tools are ideal for professionals working in steel fabrication, pressure vessel work, pipeline, shipbuilding, and stainless finishing—anywhere maximum performance and reduced rework matter.

    If you want the fastest cut, the coolest grind, and the longest-lasting disc, VICTOGRAIN® is the top-tier abrasive tech that delivers real results.
