Norton 66243411403 Cut-off Wheel 2in Aluminum Oxide Type 1

Product Description

The NORTON 66243411403 is a Type 1 (straight) aluminum oxide cut-off wheel designed for aggressive cutting on steel and stainless steel. Measuring 2 inches in diameter and 1/8 inches thick with a 3/8 inches arbor hole, this wheel mounts directly on die grinders for fast, controlled parting cuts. The resinoid bond holds the aluminum oxide abrasive grain firmly under load, while fiberglass reinforcement on both sides resists shattering at high speeds. Rated to 30,560 RPM, the wheel maintains cutting integrity through demanding production and service applications.

This cut-off wheel is suited for metal fabrication, maintenance, and repair work where a compact 2 inches wheel is required. Its small diameter makes it well matched to die grinders used in tight-clearance areas such as pipe joints, weld seating, and close-tolerance cutting on steel or stainless steel workpieces. The Gemini specification designation indicates the wheel meets NORTON internal performance and safety standards for this product line. It is sold individually and is appropriate for both shop and field use by machinists, pipefitters, and fabricators.

Compatibility

Designed for use with die grinders accepting a 3/8 inches arbor. Rated for cutting steel and stainless steel. Verify that the grinder free speed does not exceed the 30,560 RPM maximum wheel rating before mounting.

Installation Notes

Licensed or trained operators should inspect the wheel for cracks or chips before each use and never exceed the marked maximum RPM. Ensure the die grinder is fully powered down and disconnected from the air supply or electrical source before mounting or removing the wheel. Use the correct arbor size and flange type per the tool manufacturer specifications. Eye protection, gloves, and appropriate guarding are required per ANSI B11 and OSHA abrasive wheel standards.
