Norton 07660788278 Bench Pedestal Grinding Wheel 8 in

Product Description

The NORTON 07660788278 is a Type 1 bench and pedestal grinding wheel designed for heavy stock removal on ferrous metals and general-purpose tool grinding. The wheel measures 8 inches in diameter, 3/4 inches thick, with a 1-inch arbor hole. It is bonded with a vitrified bond and uses aluminum oxide abrasive grain at a coarse 36/46 dual-grit specification. Rated to a maximum of 3,600 RPM, this wheel suits stationary bench grinders and pedestal grinders found in maintenance shops, tool rooms, and fabrication facilities. A bushing is included to accommodate different arbor sizes. Weighing approximately 3.17 pounds, it is a durable, non-porous wheel built for consistent material removal.

This wheel is suited for use on bench grinders and pedestal grinders in commercial and industrial settings. The coarse 36/46 grit rating makes it appropriate for rapid stock removal, edge shaping, and deburring of steel, iron, and similar ferrous materials. It is commonly used by machinists, maintenance technicians, and fabricators who need a dependable general-purpose grinding wheel for everyday shop work. The vitrified bond provides rigidity and free-cutting action, making it effective for roughing operations where surface finish is secondary to material removal rate.
