Tools since 1799
PFERD TOOLS has been developing tools for surface treatment and machining since 1799. The product range includes cut-off wheels, abrasives, flap discs, angle grinder accessories, carbide and solid carbide tools, brushes as well as chain saw sharpening devices. Fields of application are cutting, grinding, deburring, polishing, structuring, work on weld seams and edges, internal grinding as well as milling and drilling. The tools are designed for materials such as steel and cast steel, stainless steel, aluminium, cast iron, non-ferrous metals, plastics, stone, technical ceramics and wood. With automation centres and robot cells, the company supports robotic surface treatment including process intelligence. The offering is complemented by consulting on product system solutions, a tool manual and training formats.
