Norton 07660788281 Bench Grinding Wheel 8in 60 Grit

Product Description

The NORTON 07660788281 is a Type 1 vitrified aluminum oxide bench and pedestal grinding wheel rated for use on standard bench grinders and pedestal grinders. The wheel measures 8 inches in diameter, 1 inch thick, with a 1-inch arbor hole, and carries a maximum operating speed of 3,600 RPM. The white aluminum oxide abrasive is bonded in a vitrified matrix with a medium grade and 60-grit specification, making it well suited for general-purpose tool sharpening, deburring, and surface grinding on ferrous metals. A bushing is included for arbor size adaptation. Weight is 4 pounds.

This grinding wheel is intended for use on bench grinders and pedestal grinders in shop, maintenance, and light manufacturing environments. The 60-grit medium grade is a common choice for sharpening lathe tools, chisels, drill bits, and other cutting tools where material removal and edge refinement are both required. The non-porous vitrified bond provides consistent cutting action across the full face of the wheel. Typical installers include machinists, tool-and-die technicians, maintenance mechanics, and shop-floor tradespeople.

Installation Notes

Bench and pedestal grinding wheels must be installed by a qualified technician following ANSI B11.9 and OSHA 1910.215 grinding safety standards. Always disconnect power to the grinder before mounting or removing a wheel. Inspect the wheel for cracks or chips before installation and perform a ring test by tapping the wheel gently — a clear tone indicates an undamaged wheel. Never exceed the maximum RPM rating stamped on the wheel or listed in the product specifications, and always dress the wheel before first use.
