Norton 61463650282 Surface Grinding Segment 24 Grit

Product Description

The NORTON 61463650282 is a vitrified-bond aluminum oxide surface grinding segment designed for heavy-stock removal on reciprocating and rotary surface grinders. Measuring 11.25 inches wide, 6 inches high, and 2.25 inches thick, this segment is built for large-format segmented wheel heads used in industrial and toolroom surface grinding operations. At 24 grit with a hardness code of G and a grain structure of 12, it delivers aggressive, very coarse cutting action suited to rapid material removal on ferrous metals. The specification code 86A24-G12VBEP confirms the aluminum oxide abrasive type, vitrified bond, and open porous structure. Weighing 12 pounds, it is a substantial segment intended for professional grinding equipment.

This segment is specified for use in applications aligned with the Cortland application designation, consistent with heavy-duty surface grinding on industrial machine tools. It fits segmented grinding heads on surface grinders that accept segments in the 11.25 inches wide by 6 inches high by 2.25 inches thick footprint. The very coarse 24-grit construction makes it well suited for initial stock removal, scale removal, and rough surface preparation on steel and other ferrous workpieces. Toolroom machinists and industrial grinding operators are the primary installers and users of this segment type.

Key Features

• Vitrified bond with open porous structure for free cutting and heat dissipation
• Full specification: 86A24-G12VBEP per blue print ME30777
• Weighs 12 pounds for stable seating in large segmented wheel heads

Compatibility

Designed for use in segmented grinding wheel heads that accept segments measuring 11.25 inches wide, 6 inches high, and 2.25 inches thick. Referenced under Cortland application designation per blue print ME30777.

Installation Notes

Grinding segments should be installed only by qualified machine operators or toolroom personnel familiar with segmented wheel head assemblies. Power down and lock out the grinder before removing or seating segments. Inspect the segment for cracks or chips before mounting, and confirm the segment dimensions match the wheel head specifications exactly. Always dress the segment after installation and before engaging the workpiece, following the machine manufacturer's operating procedures and applicable ANSI B11 safety standards for grinding machines.
