Norton 66243517454 Cut-off Wheel 4 in Steel

Product Description

The NORTON 66243517454 is an aluminum oxide reinforced cut-off wheel designed for fast, clean cutting on steel and stainless steel. At 4 inches in diameter and 1/16 inches thick, it provides a narrow kerf for precise cuts with minimal material loss. The resinoid bond holds the 36-grit abrasive grain together under high-speed operation, with a maximum rated speed of 19,100 RPM. Both sides are reinforced for added durability and resistance to shattering under lateral stress. This wheel is used by metal fabricators, pipefitters, and maintenance technicians working with die grinders in the field or shop.

This cut-off wheel is suited for use with standard die grinders in residential, commercial, and industrial maintenance applications. Its 3/8-inch arbor hole fits common die grinder spindle sizes. The Type 1 (flat) profile makes it appropriate for straight, plunge, and slot cuts on ferrous metals including carbon steel and stainless steel. It is packaged as a single wheel, making it easy to stock individually or in quantity for ongoing service work.

Key Features

Installation Notes

This wheel must be mounted by a qualified operator familiar with abrasive wheel safety. Always verify that the die grinder speed does not exceed the 19,100 RPM maximum rating marked on the wheel before mounting. Inspect the wheel for cracks or chips before each use and never operate a damaged wheel. Follow ANSI B7.1 safety standards for the use, care, and protection of abrasive wheels, and wear appropriate eye and face protection during operation.
