Norton 66252838462 Cut-off Wheel 5 in Type 1 Ceramic Alumina

Product Description

The NORTON 66252838462 is a Type 1 (01/41) ceramic alumina cut-off wheel engineered for fast, aggressive cutting on steel and stainless steel. At 5 inches in diameter and 1/16 inches thick, this straight-profile wheel delivers a narrow kerf and clean cuts with minimal material loss. The 36-grit ceramic alumina abrasive provides a self-sharpening cutting action that holds up under continuous use. A resinoid bond with reinforced sides adds structural integrity at high speeds, rated to a maximum of 12,225 RPM. The 7/8 inches arbor hole fits standard angle grinder spindles. Typical installers and users include metalworkers, pipefitters, HVAC techs, and maintenance professionals cutting ferrous and stainless stock.

This wheel is designed for use with angle grinders in applications involving steel and stainless steel cutting. The Quantum3 specification designation indicates this wheel meets Norton performance benchmarks for cut rate and wheel life in those materials. At 5 inches in diameter, it is suited to compact angle grinders commonly used in tight workspaces, mechanical rooms, and field service environments where larger wheels are impractical. The narrow 1/16 inches profile minimizes heat buildup and reduces the risk of workpiece discoloration on stainless steel.

Key Features

• Ceramic alumina abrasive at 36 grit for aggressive, self-sharpening cutting action on steel and stainless steel
• Type 1 (01/41) straight-profile wheel produces a narrow kerf and precise cut line
• Resinoid bond with reinforced sides for structural integrity at high operating speeds
• 12,225 RPM maximum speed rating for use with standard 5 inches angle grinders
• 7/8 inches arbor hole fits most common angle grinder spindles without an adapter
• Quantum3 specification meets Norton benchmarks for cut rate and wheel longevity

Compatibility

Designed for use with angle grinders accepting a 5 inches diameter wheel with a 7/8 inches arbor hole. Rated for cutting steel and stainless steel. Confirm that the grinder's no-load RPM rating does not exceed 12,225 RPM before mounting.

Installation Notes

Always power down and disconnect the grinder from its power source before mounting or removing a cut-off wheel. Inspect the wheel for cracks or chips prior to each use and discard any damaged wheel immediately. Mount the wheel so it does not exceed the 12,225 RPM maximum speed rating of the tool in use. Operate with appropriate PPE including face shield, gloves, and hearing protection in accordance with applicable ANSI B7.1 and OSHA standards for abrasive wheel machinery.
