Norton 66252822958 Type 1 Cut-off Wheel 6 in 60 Grit

Product Description

The NORTON 66252822958 is a Type 1 (01/41) straight cut-off wheel designed for aggressive cutting in metal fabrication, maintenance, and light industrial applications. Measuring 6 inches in diameter with a 1/32-inch thickness, this non-reinforced wheel uses an aluminum oxide abrasive bonded with a resinoid bond at 60 grit. It carries a maximum rated speed of 6370 RPM. The wheel is suited for use on angle grinders and bench-mounted cut-off machines. Licensed tradespeople and metalworkers performing ferrous and stainless steel cutting reach for this wheel when a thin kerf and clean entry cut are the priority.

This cut-off wheel is rated for cutting steel and stainless steel, making it appropriate for pipe fabrication shops, general metal shops, HVAC sheet metal work, and maintenance and repair operations. The 1-1/4-inch round arbor hole fits standard cut-off machine spindles common in trade environments. Its non-reinforced construction means it is intended for right-angle or straight cut-off machines where the guard and tool setup match the wheel type — not for side grinding or grinding operations.

Key Features

• 6-inch diameter with 1/32-inch thickness for thin, low-material-loss cuts
• Aluminum oxide abrasive at 60 grit provides a balance of cut speed and edge finish on metal
• Resinoid bond (specification 57A60-M8B) with hardness code M for controlled wheel wear
• Non-reinforced construction optimized for straight cut-off use
• 6370 max RPM rating — verify machine speed does not exceed this before mounting
• Rated for steel and stainless steel cutting applications

Compatibility

Designed for use on steel and stainless steel with angle grinders or cut-off machines accepting a 6-inch Type 1 (01/41) wheel with a 1-1/4-inch round arbor hole running at or below 6370 RPM.

Installation Notes

Cut-off wheel mounting and operation must comply with ANSI B7.1 safety standards for the use, care, and protection of abrasive wheels. Always power down and unplug or lock out the machine before changing wheels. Inspect the wheel for cracks or chips before mounting — never use a damaged wheel. Confirm the machine's rated no-load RPM does not exceed the 6370 RPM maximum marked on the wheel, and ensure the appropriate guard is in place before starting the cut.
