Norton 66252822973 Cut-off Wheel 6in Aluminum Oxide Type 1

Product Description

The NORTON 66252822973 is a Type 1 (flat) aluminum oxide cut-off wheel designed for aggressive cutting of steel and stainless steel. Measuring 6 inches in diameter and 1/16 inch thick with a 5/8 inch arbor hole, this wheel runs at a maximum of 10,190 RPM. The 36-grit aluminum oxide grain with a resinoid bond delivers fast, consistent cuts on metal stock. Both sides are reinforced for added strength and resistance to lateral stress during use. It carries a hardness code of T and a grain structure of 4, making it well suited for hard ferrous metals where cut speed and wheel longevity both matter.

This cut-off wheel is intended for use with circular saws in metal fabrication, maintenance, and repair applications. It handles steel and stainless steel cutting in both shop and field environments. Trades that commonly use this wheel include pipefitters, welders, ironworkers, and general maintenance mechanics cutting bar stock, pipe, angle iron, and sheet metal. Its Type 1 flat profile is standard for right-angle and chop-style circular saw use where a straight plunge or through-cut is required.

Key Features

• 6 inch diameter Type 1 (01/41) flat profile for straight through-cuts
• 1/16 inch thin kerf reduces material loss and heat buildup
• 36-grit aluminum oxide abrasive for fast cutting on ferrous metals
• Resinoid bond with hardness code T for controlled wear on hard stock
• Both sides reinforced for lateral strength under side load
• Rated to 10,190 RPM maximum operating speed

Compatibility

Designed for use with circular saws on steel and stainless steel. Fits tools with a 5/8 inch arbor. Verify that the saw's no-load RPM does not exceed the 10,190 RPM maximum wheel rating before mounting.

Installation Notes

Cut-off wheels must be mounted and operated by qualified personnel following ANSI B7.1 and tool manufacturer guidelines. Always inspect the wheel for cracks or chips before mounting and never exceed the marked maximum RPM. Ensure the arbor size matches the wheel hole and that all guards are in place before starting the tool. Wear appropriate eye, face, and hand protection during operation.
