Norton 07660789097 Cut-off Wheel 7in Steel

Product Description

The NORTON 07660789097 is a Type 1 (01/41) flat cut-off wheel designed for aggressive cutting in metal fabrication and service work. At 7 inches in diameter and 1/8 inches thick, it pairs with circular saws and compatible angle grinders to cut steel and stainless steel. The wheel is bonded with a resinoid bond and reinforced on both sides with fiberglass for added safety at the rated maximum of 8730 RPM. The abrasive material is aluminum oxide, a standard choice for ferrous metal cutting. At 0.36 pounds, it is a single-piece, lightweight consumable suited for frequent replacement in production or field environments.

This cut-off wheel is used in applications involving structural steel, pipe, sheet metal, and stainless steel fabrication. It fits circular saws and grinders with a 5/8 inch arbor hole and a wheel capacity of 7 inches. Typical use cases include mechanical contractors, pipefitters, ironworkers, and general fabrication shops that need a reliable abrasive cut-off in both shop and field settings. The 1/8 inches thickness provides a balance of kerf width and wheel durability for general-purpose cuts.
