Manufactured from aluminum oxide abrasive at a 36 grit (very coarse) rating, this segment cuts aggressively on ferrous metals and hard toolroom materials. It measures 11-1\/4 inches wide, 6 inches high, and 2-1\/4 inches thick and weighs 12 pounds. The E hardness code and open grain structure (grade 12) allow the bond to release dull grains under load, maintaining a free-cutting action without excessive heat buildup. Specification code 86A36-E12VBEP identifies the full abrasive formulation. Licensed grinding technicians and toolroom machinists are the primary installers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis segment is engineered for Cortland-application surface grinding operations, where large segmented wheel heads require a consistent, uniform abrasive block. The 36 grit designation makes it best suited for initial stock removal passes rather than finish grinding. The vitrified bond performs well in wet or dry grinding environments common in production and toolroom settings. At 11-1\/4 inches wide, the segment covers a broad grinding path per pass, reducing cycle time on flat-surface operations. Blue Print reference ME30777 identifies the OEM specification for this geometry and abrasive combination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAluminum oxide abrasive for reliable performance on ferrous metals and hardened steels\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e36 grit (very coarse) for aggressive stock removal in roughing passes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eVitrified bond construction allows use in both wet and dry grinding conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eE hardness code with open grain structure (grade 12) promotes free-cutting action and reduces heat\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePorous structure improves coolant penetration and swarf evacuation during wet grinding\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBlue Print ME30777 and spec code 86A36-E12VBEP for traceability to OEM grinding requirements\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for Cortland-application horizontal-spindle surface grinders requiring segments per Blue Print ME30777.

Power down and lock out the grinder before removing or seating any segment. Inspect the segment for cracks or chips prior to mounting; never install a damaged abrasive block. Dress the segment face after installation and before first use to ensure flat, even contact across the grinding path.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSegment Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 11-1\/4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSegment Height\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSegment Thickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2-1\/4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 12 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAbrasive Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Aluminum Oxide\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrit\u003c\/strong\u003e: 36\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrade\u003c\/strong\u003e: Very Coarse\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardness Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: E\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrain Structure\u003c\/strong\u003e: 12\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBond Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Vitrified\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePorous\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpecification Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 86A36-E12VBEP\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlue Print Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: ME30777\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApplication\u003c\/strong\u003e: Cortland\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: NORTON\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 61463650291\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"NORTON","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51543036854578,"sku":"61463650291","price":102.42,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/263d330c7dfb85cbb42859dd9b9390e6.jpg?v=1785914232","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/norton-61463650291-grinding-segment-36-grit-aluminum-oxide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
