Built with white aluminum oxide abrasive and a vitrified bond, it delivers consistent stock removal and sharp cutting action across a range of ferrous and non-ferrous tool materials. The wheel measures 3.5 inches in diameter with a 1.5-inch overall thickness and a 0.5-inch face width, rated to a maximum of 6,550 RPM. At 60 grit and K hardness, it falls in the medium grade range, suited for controlled material removal without excessive surface damage. Licensed grinding machine operators and tool-and-cutter technicians are the primary installers of this wheel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis wheel is well matched for bench grinder and pedestal grinder setups used in tool room and maintenance shop environments. It handles resharpening of cutting tools, lathe tooling, drill bits, and similar shop tools where a consistent medium-grit cut is required. The 0.5-inch hole size fits standard arbors on bench-style grinding machines. Its friable aluminum oxide grain fractures cleanly during use, continuously exposing fresh cutting edges and reducing glazing between dressings. Both commercial machine shops and industrial maintenance departments commonly stock this wheel type for general tool grinding duty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWhite aluminum oxide abrasive for sharp, cool-cutting action on tool steels\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eVitrified bond provides rigidity and consistent form retention during grinding\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e60 grit, K hardness (medium grade) for controlled stock removal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3.5-inch diameter with 0.5-inch face width for precision cup-style grinding\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFriable grain structure reduces glazing and extends dress intervals\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNon-porous construction with maximum operating speed of 6,550 RPM\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a direct-fit replacement Type 6 straight-cup grinding wheel for bench grinders and pedestal grinders equipped with a 0.5-inch arbor bore.

Always power down and lock out the grinding machine before mounting or removing a wheel. Inspect the wheel for cracks or chips prior to mounting, perform a ring test, and run the wheel under guard at operating speed for at least one minute before applying workpiece contact. Never exceed the rated maximum RPM stamped on the wheel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAbrasive Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Aluminum Oxide\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWheel Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Type 6 (Straight Cup)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBond Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Vitrified\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpecification Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 38A60-KVBE\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWheel Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Thickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFace Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHole Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrit\u003c\/strong\u003e: 60\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardness Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: K\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrade\u003c\/strong\u003e: Medium\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum RPM\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6,550\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWheel Color\u003c\/strong\u003e: White\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePorous\u003c\/strong\u003e: Non-Porous\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFriable\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.78 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: NORTON\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 66243529372\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"NORTON","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51542804037938,"sku":"66243529372","price":93.28,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/06f55621836c430a6e791caf4bbe4718.jpg?v=1785907902","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/norton-66243529372-type-6-grinding-wheel-60-grit","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
