Norton 66252836572 Bench Grinding Wheel 6 in 80 Grit

Product Description

The NORTON 66252836572 is a Type 1 silicon carbide bench and pedestal grinding wheel designed for precision material removal on hard, brittle, and non-ferrous workpieces. Measuring 6 inches in diameter and 1/2 inch thick with a 1-inch arbor hole, this green silicon carbide wheel is vitrified-bonded and rated to a maximum of 4,140 RPM. The 80-grit fine grade makes it well-suited for finish grinding, sharpening, and light stock removal on carbide tooling, ceramics, glass, and similar materials. Bushings are included to adapt the arbor hole to compatible spindle sizes.

This wheel is intended for use on standard bench grinders and pedestal grinders in professional shop environments. It is a common choice for grinding rooms, tool-and-die operations, maintenance shops, and fabrication facilities where carbide or non-ferrous materials require controlled, fine-finish grinding. The green silicon carbide compound provides sharp, free-cutting action on materials that standard aluminum oxide wheels do not address efficiently.

• Green silicon carbide abrasive — effective on carbide, ceramic, glass, and non-ferrous materials
• Vitrified bond provides consistent grain exposure and good form-holding
• 80-grit fine grade suited for finish grinding and tool sharpening
• Rated at 4,140 maximum RPM
• Bushing included for arbor size adaptation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard shop consumable for bench grinders and pedestal grinders accepting a 6-inch diameter, 1/2-inch wide, 1-inch arbor wheel.

Installation Notes

Bench and pedestal grinding wheels should be installed by a qualified technician following ANSI B7.1 safety standards for the use, care, and protection of abrasive wheels. Before mounting, power down and lock out the grinder, inspect the wheel for cracks or chips using the ring test, and verify the machine spindle speed does not exceed the 4,140 RPM rating marked on the wheel. Always dress the wheel before first use and ensure the work rest is adjusted to within the appropriate clearance of the wheel face.
