Norton 66252822953 Cutoff Wheel 6 in Aluminum Oxide Type 1

Product Description

The NORTON 66252822953 is a Type 1 (01/41) flat cutoff wheel designed for precision cutting on steel and stainless steel using stationary abrasive tools. At 6 inches in diameter and just 0.015 inches thick, this wheel produces narrow, clean cuts with minimal material loss. The abrasive is aluminum oxide at 90 grit, bonded with a rubber bond and rated to a maximum of 6,370 RPM. With a 1-1/4 inch arbor hole, it mounts directly to standard stationary cutoff machines. The hardness code is R and the wheel specification is 57A90-R0R30. This wheel is sold individually.

This cutoff wheel is suited for metal fabrication shops, maintenance environments, and trade professionals working with steel or stainless steel stock. Typical applications include cutting bar stock, tubing, angle iron, and structural profiles on a stationary chop saw or abrasive cutoff machine. The thin 0.015 inch profile reduces heat buildup and drag during cuts, making it a practical choice for repetitive production cuts or precision work where kerf width matters.

Key Features

• Aluminum oxide abrasive at 90 grit for cutting steel and stainless steel
• Type 1 flat wheel profile — no hub, straight cutting geometry
• Thin 0.015 inch thickness minimizes kerf and reduces heat
• Rubber bond construction rated to 6,370 RPM maximum
• 1-1/4 inch arbor hole fits standard stationary cutoff machine spindles
• Non-reinforced wheel — for use with stationary tools only, not angle grinders

Compatibility

Designed for use with stationary cutoff tools. Rated for cutting steel and stainless steel. The non-reinforced construction means this wheel is not approved for use with portable angle grinders or handheld tools.

Installation Notes

Installation and wheel changes must be performed by a qualified operator following ANSI B7.1 and the tool manufacturer's safety guidelines. Always power down and fully de-energize the stationary cutoff machine before mounting or removing a wheel. Inspect the wheel for cracks or chips before each use — do not use a damaged wheel. Confirm the machine's rated spindle speed does not exceed the wheel's 6,370 RPM maximum before operation.
