Norton 66252836132 Bench Grinding Wheel 6 in Aluminum Oxide

Product Description

The NORTON 66252836132 is a Type 1 bench and pedestal grinding wheel designed for material removal and tool dressing on stationary bench grinders and pedestal grinders. It measures 6 inches in diameter, 1/2 inch thick, with a 1-inch arbor hole. The wheel is made from aluminum oxide abrasive bonded in a vitrified bond matrix and carries a coarse 36/46 dual-grit rating, making it well-suited for aggressive stock removal on ferrous metals, tool steel, and general shop work. A bushing is included to fit common arbor sizes. Rated to 6,210 RPM maximum, the wheel is non-porous and brown in color. Weight is approximately 1.17 pounds.

This grinding wheel is used on standard 6-inch bench grinders and pedestal grinders in machine shops, maintenance facilities, and trade shops. The coarse 36/46 grit combination is appropriate for shaping, deburring, and resharpening cutting tools such as drill bits, chisels, and lathe tools. It is a common consumable for HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general mechanical trade shops where bench grinders are part of routine tool maintenance.

Installation Notes

Grinding wheel mounting and dressing should be performed by a qualified technician following ANSI B7.1 safety standards for the use, care, and protection of abrasive wheels. Always power down and lock out the grinder before removing or installing a wheel. Inspect the wheel for cracks or chips using the ring test before mounting, and never exceed the maximum RPM stamped on the wheel. Ensure the spindle speed of the grinder does not exceed 6,210 RPM before operation.
