Norton 66252838308 Type 2 Grinding Wheel 6 in 46 Grit

Product Description

The NORTON 66252838308 is a Type 2 vitrified aluminum oxide grinding wheel rated for bench and pedestal grinder applications. Measuring 6 inches in diameter with a 1-inch face width and a 1-1/4-inch arbor hole, it runs at a maximum of 3,600 RPM. The 46-grit, K-hardness (medium) bond delivers aggressive material removal on ferrous metals and tool steel. The vitrified bond resists heat and loading during sustained contact, making it a practical choice for tool sharpening, deburring, and offhand grinding tasks. Licensed HVAC technicians, machinists, and maintenance tradespeople rely on this wheel for restoring cutting edges and cleaning weld spatter.

This wheel is suited for stationary bench grinders and pedestal grinders in commercial shops, maintenance facilities, and trade service vehicles. Its 6-inch diameter and standard 1-1/4-inch bore fit a wide range of common bench grinder spindles. The coarse-to-medium 46-grit cut rate makes it effective for rapid stock removal on carbon steel, alloy steel, and similar hard materials. The gray aluminum oxide composition handles general-purpose ferrous grinding without glazing quickly under normal shop use.

Installation Notes

Grinding wheel installation and dressing should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with ANSI B7.1 safety requirements for abrasive wheels. Always power down and lock out the grinder before mounting or removing a wheel. Inspect the wheel for cracks or chips before installation and perform a ring test per manufacturer guidelines. Never exceed the 3,600 RPM maximum speed rating marked on the wheel.
