Norton 61463615885 Surface Grinding Segment 24 Grit

Product Description

The NORTON 61463615885 is a surface grinding segment designed for heavy-duty material removal on surface grinders equipped with segmented wheel heads. This segment measures 11.25 inches wide, 8 inches high, and 3 inches thick, making it well-suited for large-area grinding passes. It carries a 24-grit abrasive, placing it in the very coarse grade range, and is rated Hardness Code F. Coarse-grit segments like this one are selected when aggressive stock removal is the priority over surface finish quality. Licensed grinding machine operators and abrasives technicians working in production or tool-and-die environments are the typical installers and users of this segment.

This segment is intended for surface grinding applications where large volumes of material must be removed quickly. The very coarse 24-grit specification makes it appropriate for rough grinding passes on ferrous and non-ferrous workpieces mounted to reciprocating or rotary surface grinder tables. The blueprint reference ME100703B identifies the geometry specification for this segment. It is suited for production grinding environments where cycle time and removal rate take precedence over fine surface finish. The Cortland application designation from the manufacturer indicates a specific program or customer application context.

Key Features

• Very coarse 24-grit abrasive for aggressive stock removal
• Large segment geometry: 11.25 inches wide, 8 inches high, 3 inches thick
• Hardness Code F for controlled wear rate during heavy grinding passes
• Blueprint number ME100703B ensures dimensional traceability to specification
• Packaged as a single segment to match exact replacement or small-quantity needs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-specification replacement or production-supply segment for surface grinding machines that accept segmented abrasive wheel heads of corresponding geometry, per blueprint ME100703B.

Installation Notes

Surface grinding segments must be installed by qualified grinding machine operators or maintenance personnel familiar with abrasive wheel safety standards, including ANSI B7.1 guidelines for the use, care, and protection of abrasive wheels. Before removing or installing any segment, power down the machine and follow full lockout/tagout procedures per applicable site safety requirements. Inspect the segment for cracks or chips before mounting, and ensure the segment holder or chuck is clean and free of debris. Never exceed the maximum operating speed rated for the segment and machine combination.
