Norton 66243528476 Cutoff Wheel 2.5in Aluminum Oxide 60 Grit

Product Description

The NORTON 66243528476 is a Type 1 reinforced cutoff wheel designed for precision cutting on steel and similar ferrous materials. Measuring 2.5 inches in diameter and 0.035 inches thick with a 1/8 inch arbor hole, this thin-kerf wheel mounts directly to die grinders for controlled, low-waste cuts. The abrasive matrix is aluminum oxide bonded with a resinoid bond at 60 grit and an O hardness rating, delivering an aggressive yet controlled cut on mild and carbon steel. Both sides are reinforced for added durability under lateral stress. Rated to 30,560 RPM, it is suited for high-speed die grinder use in metal fabrication, mechanical, and general trade applications.

This cutoff wheel is intended for use with die grinders in trade and industrial settings where tight-clearance cuts are required. The 2.5 inch diameter makes it well suited for cutting in confined spaces such as pipe stubs, bolt heads, fasteners, and sheet metal edges. Reinforced construction on both sides resists shattering during aggressive cutting passes. Typical users include machinists, pipefitters, ironworkers, and general maintenance technicians working on steel components in both shop and field environments.

Key Features

• Aluminum oxide abrasive with resinoid bond for consistent stock removal on steel
• 60 grit, O hardness for aggressive cutting performance
• Both sides reinforced to resist wheel fracture under load
• Thin 0.035 inch kerf minimizes material loss and heat buildup
• Rated to 30,560 RPM for compatibility with standard die grinders
• Type 1 (01/41) flat wheel profile for straight cutoff applications

Compatibility

Designed for use with die grinders accepting a 1/8 inch arbor and operating within the rated 30,560 RPM maximum. Application is specified for steel cutting per manufacturer data.

Installation Notes

Installation and use should be performed by qualified trade personnel familiar with abrasive wheel safety. Always verify that the grinder speed rating does not exceed the wheel maximum RPM of 30,560 before mounting. Power down and disconnect the tool from the power source before changing wheels. Follow ANSI B7.1 and applicable workplace safety standards for abrasive wheel mounting, guarding, and PPE requirements.
