Norton 66252843248 Cut-off Wheel 10 in Type 1 Zirconia

Product Description

The NORTON 66252843248 is a Type 1 flat cut-off wheel designed for aggressive cutting on steel and stainless steel using stationary abrasive cutting equipment. Built with zirconia alumina abrasive grain and a resinoid bond, this wheel delivers consistent stock removal and extended service life on ferrous metals. It measures 10 inches in diameter, 3/32 inches thick, and accepts a 5/8-inch arbor hole. The wheel is reinforced on both sides for added safety at speed, with a rated maximum of 6110 RPM. At 0.79 pounds, it is a straightforward drop-in consumable for stationary cut-off machines used in fabrication and maintenance environments.

This wheel is suited for stationary cut-off saws and abrasive chop saws in industrial, fabrication shop, and maintenance settings. It is specified for cutting steel and stainless steel stock, including bar, pipe, tube, and structural shapes. The Bluefire designation indicates a Norton zirconia alumina formulation engineered for faster cutting rates and cooler cutting action on hard ferrous materials compared to standard aluminum oxide wheels. It is a single-piece, individually packaged wheel intended for professional shop use.

Key Features

• Zirconia alumina abrasive grain for fast cutting and long wheel life on ferrous metals
• Type 1 flat profile designed for straight, plunge, and chop cuts on stationary equipment
• Resinoid bond for consistent grain exposure throughout the wheel life
• Both sides reinforced for structural integrity at rated operating speeds
• Rated to 6110 RPM for use on stationary cut-off machines
• Norton Bluefire formulation engineered for steel and stainless steel applications

Compatibility

Designed for use with stationary cut-off tools. Rated for cutting steel and stainless steel. Verify that the machine arbor accepts a 5/8-inch hole and that the tool's rated speed meets or exceeds the wheel's maximum operating speed of 6110 RPM before mounting.

Installation Notes

Cut-off wheel mounting and operation should be performed by qualified personnel following ANSI B7.1 safety standards. Always inspect the wheel for cracks or damage before mounting and perform a ring test when applicable. Ensure the machine is de-energized and locked out before changing wheels. Never exceed the wheel's maximum rated RPM of 6110, and always use the appropriate guard for the wheel diameter installed.
