Norton 076607-01617 Type 1 Cut-off Blade 4.5in Aluminum Oxide

Product Description

The NORTON 076607-01617 is a Type 1 right-angle cut-off blade engineered for metal cutting applications. Constructed with an aluminum oxide abrasive grain, this blade delivers consistent, aggressive cutting action on ferrous metals and similar materials. At 4.5 inches in diameter with a 0.040-inch thickness and a 0.875-inch arbor bore, it is sized for use with standard 4.5-inch right-angle grinders. The blade is rated to a maximum of 13,580 RPM, making it suitable for high-speed cutting tools used in fabrication, maintenance, and service trades. Each blade is sold individually and is intended for professional use in demanding job-site environments.

This cut-off blade is designed for use in metal fabrication, mechanical contracting, and general maintenance applications. The thin 0.040-inch kerf profile reduces material loss and minimizes heat buildup during cuts, making it well-suited for precise, fast cuts in sheet metal, conduit, threaded rod, angle iron, and similar metal stock. It is a practical choice for HVAC technicians, plumbers, electricians, and fabricators who rely on right-angle grinders as part of their standard toolkit.

Installation Notes

Installation and blade changes must be performed by a qualified user following the grinder manufacturer's instructions and applicable ANSI B7.1 safety requirements. Always ensure the grinder is unplugged or the power source is disconnected before mounting or removing a blade. Confirm the tool's rated RPM meets or exceeds the blade's 13,580 RPM maximum rating before use, and never exceed that limit. Wear appropriate PPE including eye protection, gloves, and hearing protection during operation.
