Norton 66243522415 Surface Grinding Wheel 24 Grit 3 in

Product Description

The NORTON 66243522415 is a Type 1 straight surface grinding wheel designed for aggressive material removal on ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Built with aluminum oxide abrasive and a resinoid bond, this wheel carries a 24-grit, very coarse grade that cuts fast on hard and soft carbon steels, stainless steels, cast iron, titanium, super alloys, and non-ferrous metals including aluminum, brass, bronze, and copper. At 3 inches in diameter and 3/8 inches thick with a 3/8-inch arbor hole, it fits compact ID grinders and flexible shaft grinders. Hardness code R with specification grade 57A24-RBRA makes it a reliable choice for controlled, high-speed stock removal in shop and field applications.

This wheel is sized for use with flexible shaft grinders and ID grinders in both shop and field environments. Its very coarse 24-grit aluminum oxide construction suits roughing passes, weld dressing, and deburring operations across a broad range of metal types. Rated at 18,080 RPM maximum, it is suited for high-speed tool use where faster cutting action and shorter cycle times are priorities. Licensed trades including machinists, tool-and-die technicians, and metal fabricators will find this wheel appropriate for precision grinding setups where a small-diameter, straight-profile wheel is required.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified operator familiar with abrasive wheel safety per ANSI B7.1 standards. Before mounting, inspect the wheel for cracks or chips and perform a ring test. Ensure the grinder is fully powered down and disconnected from its power source before changing wheels. Never exceed the maximum RPM rating marked on the wheel or packaging.
