Norton 07660788277 Bench Pedestal Grinding Wheel 8 in 60/80

Product Description

The NORTON 07660788277 is a Type 1 bench and pedestal grinding wheel designed for material removal and tool sharpening on stationary bench grinders and pedestal grinders. Measuring 8 inches in diameter, 3/4 inches thick, with a 1-inch arbor hole, this wheel uses aluminum oxide abrasive bonded in a vitrified matrix. It carries a medium grade with dual 60/80 grit, making it effective for general-purpose grinding of ferrous metals, tool steel, and similar hard materials. Rated at a maximum of 3,600 RPM, it is suited for standard bench grinder spindle speeds commonly found in maintenance shops, fabrication facilities, and industrial workspaces. Bushings are included to accommodate common arbor sizes.

This wheel is a practical choice for maintenance technicians, machinists, welders, and trade professionals who need consistent stock removal and edge refinement on a bench or pedestal grinder. Its medium grit rating makes it versatile across both roughing and light finishing passes. The vitrified bond provides durability and resistance to heat buildup during extended grinding sessions. Typical applications include sharpening drill bits, reconditioning hand tools, deburring metal parts, and general shop grinding tasks in residential, commercial, and light industrial settings.

Installation Notes

Bench and pedestal grinding wheel replacement is typically performed by maintenance technicians or qualified shop personnel. Always power down and lock out the grinder before removing or installing a wheel. Inspect the new wheel for cracks or chips before mounting, and perform a ring test by tapping the wheel lightly to confirm integrity. Never exceed the maximum RPM stamped on the wheel, and always use the appropriate flanges and guards per ANSI B11.9 grinding safety standards.
