Norton 66252838460 Ceramic Alumina Cutoff Wheel Type 1 5 in

Product Description

The NORTON 66252838460 is a Type 1 ceramic alumina cutoff wheel designed for high-speed cutting on angle grinders. Built to the Quantum3 specification, it measures 5 inches in diameter with a 0.045-inch cutting width and a 7/8-inch arbor hole. The resinoid bond and reinforced construction — with sides reinforced — deliver controlled cutting under demanding shop and field conditions. Rated to 12,225 RPM, this wheel is suited for metalworking trades including fabricators, pipefitters, and maintenance technicians who need consistent performance on ferrous and stainless materials. At 46 grit, it balances cut speed with surface finish on thin-stock cutting applications.

This cutoff wheel is engineered for use on steel and stainless steel. It fits standard 5-inch angle grinders with a 7/8-inch arbor, making it compatible with a wide range of handheld grinders used in industrial, fabrication, and field service environments. The Type 1 flat profile is the standard configuration for straight cutoff work, appropriate for pipe, sheet stock, rebar, and structural steel. It is sold individually but requires a minimum order quantity of 25 units per order.

Key Features

• Ceramic alumina abrasive at 46 grit for aggressive cutting on steel and stainless steel
• Type 1 flat wheel profile for straight cutoff applications
• Resinoid bond with reinforced and sides-reinforced construction for durability under load
• 12,225 RPM maximum speed rating for use on 5-inch angle grinders
• 0.045-inch wheel thickness minimizes material loss per cut
• Quantum3 specification designation

Compatibility

Designed for use with 5-inch angle grinders fitted with a 7/8-inch arbor. Rated for cutting steel and stainless steel. Verify that the grinder's no-load RPM does not exceed 12,225 RPM before mounting.

Installation Notes

Cutoff wheels must be installed and operated by qualified personnel following ANSI B7.1 and applicable workplace safety standards. Always power down and unplug or lock out the grinder before mounting or removing a wheel. Inspect the wheel for cracks or damage before each use and never operate above the rated maximum RPM. Use the appropriate guard for the wheel diameter and application as required by tool manufacturer guidelines.
