Norton 07660789088 Silicon Carbide Cut-off Wheel 7 in Masonry

Product Description

The NORTON 07660789088 is a Type 1 (flat) silicon carbide reinforced cut-off wheel designed for masonry cutting applications. Measuring 7 inches in diameter with a 1/8 inch thickness and a 5/8 inch arbor hole, this wheel is built for use with circular saws operating at a maximum of 8730 RPM. The resinoid bond and 24-grit silicon carbide abrasive are well-suited for cutting through concrete, masonry block, brick, and similar hard, abrasive materials. Both sides are reinforced for added structural integrity during cut-off work. Weighing 0.37 pounds, it is a standard single-wheel replacement or stock item for contractors and tradespeople working on masonry projects.

This cut-off wheel is intended for masonry applications on job sites where circular saws are the primary cutting tool. It fits standard 5/8 inch arbor circular saws and is rated for the RPM ranges common to those tools. Typical uses include cutting concrete block, brick, tile, and stone. The silicon carbide abrasive is the correct choice for hard, non-ferrous masonry materials, as opposed to aluminum oxide wheels used on metal. It is a single-wheel package appropriate for field replacement or individual purchase.
