Norton 66252838465 Cut-off Wheel 6 in Type 1 Ceramic Alumina

Product Description

The NORTON 66252838465 is a Type 1 resinoid-bonded cut-off wheel designed for aggressive cutting on steel and stainless steel using angle grinders. Built with ceramic alumina abrasive at 46 grit, this wheel delivers consistent stock removal and extended service life compared to standard aluminum oxide wheels. At 6 inches in diameter and 1/16 inch thick, it produces a narrow kerf and reduces heat buildup during cuts. The reinforced construction on both sides adds structural integrity at elevated speeds, rated to a maximum of 10,185 RPM. It weighs approximately 0.20 pounds per wheel.

This cut-off wheel is suited for metal fabrication, maintenance work, and field service applications where an angle grinder is the tool of choice. It handles cutting tasks on mild steel structural members, stainless steel pipe, sheet metal, and similar ferrous materials. The 7/8 inch arbor hole fits standard angle grinder spindles common in both shop and job-site environments. Typical users include pipefitters, ironworkers, welders, HVAC technicians, and general maintenance tradespeople who require reliable cuts on metal components.

Installation Notes

Mount this wheel only on angle grinders with a maximum rated speed at or above 10,185 RPM; never exceed the wheel's marked RPM. Inspect the wheel for cracks or damage before each use and discard any damaged wheel. Always install the appropriate guard before operating and ensure the arbor nut is secured with the correct flange per the grinder manufacturer's instructions. Wear appropriate PPE including a face shield, gloves, and hearing protection during operation.
