Norton 66252843249 Cut-off Wheel 12 in Zirconia Alumina

Product Description

The NORTON 66252843249 is a Type 1 flat cut-off wheel engineered for aggressive cutting on steel and stainless steel using stationary abrasive cutting equipment. Built with zirconia alumina abrasive bonded in a resinoid matrix, this wheel delivers fast stock removal and extended wheel life compared to standard aluminum oxide. It measures 12 inches in diameter with a 1/8 inch thickness and a 1 inch arbor hole. The reinforced construction — with sides reinforced — supports the structural demands of stationary tool applications. Rated to a maximum of 5,095 RPM, it is spec-matched for use with stationary cut-off machines found in fabrication shops, mechanical rooms, and pipe-cutting stations.

This wheel is suited for professional cutting of steel and stainless steel in commercial fabrication, HVAC, plumbing, and mechanical contracting environments. Typical applications include cutting structural steel, pipe, bar stock, and angle iron. The Bluefire specification designation indicates this is part of NORTON's zirconia alumina-grade line. This wheel is designed for stationary tool use only and is not rated for handheld angle grinders. One wheel is included per package.

Key Features

• Zirconia alumina abrasive for high cut rate and long service life on ferrous metals
• Resinoid bond provides consistent grain exposure throughout wheel life
• Sides-reinforced construction handles lateral stresses common in stationary cut-off machines
• 12 inch diameter and 1/8 inch thickness suited for deep, straight cuts in heavy stock
• 5,095 RPM maximum speed rating matched to stationary cutting equipment
• Rated for steel and stainless steel applications

Compatibility

Designed for use with stationary cut-off machines that accept a 12 inch diameter, Type 1 (01/41) flat wheel with a 1 inch arbor hole and a maximum operating speed of 5,095 RPM or lower.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified operator following ANSI B7.1 safety standards for the use, care, and protection of abrasive wheels. Always verify the machine spindle speed does not exceed the 5,095 RPM rating marked on the wheel before mounting. Power down and lock out the machine before changing wheels. Inspect the wheel for cracks or chips before each use and never mount a damaged wheel.
