Norton 66243411396 Cut-off Wheel 2 in Aluminum Oxide Type 1

Product Description

The NORTON 66243411396 is a Type 1 (straight) aluminum oxide cut-off wheel designed for aggressive material removal on steel and stainless steel. Measuring 2 inches in diameter and 1/16 inch thick with a 3/8 inch arbor hole, this wheel mounts directly on die grinders for precise, narrow-kerf cuts. The resinoid bond holds the aluminum oxide abrasive firmly during high-speed operation, with a rated maximum of 30,560 RPM. Both sides are reinforced for added burst resistance during cutting passes. At 0.05 pounds, it adds negligible weight to the tool.

This cut-off wheel is built for use with die grinders in fabrication, maintenance, and repair applications involving steel and stainless steel. The 2-inch diameter and 1/16-inch thickness make it well suited for tight-access cuts, weld notching, bolt cutting, and light stock removal where a larger wheel would not fit. It is commonly used by pipefitters, maintenance mechanics, welders, and metalworkers in both shop and field settings. The Gemini specification designation indicates it meets Norton product performance standards for this wheel series.

Installation Notes

Installation and use of abrasive cut-off wheels should follow ANSI B7.1 safety standards and the tool and wheel manufacturers guidelines. Always confirm the tool spindle speed does not exceed the wheel maximum RPM rating of 30,560 before mounting. Inspect the wheel for cracks or chips before each use and never use a damaged wheel. Wear appropriate eye and face protection, and ensure guards are in place before operating the grinder.
