Norton 66252843252 Cut-off Wheel 14 in Type 1 Zirconia

Product Description

The NORTON 66252843252 is a Type 1 (01/41) resinoid-bonded cut-off wheel designed for aggressive cutting on steel and stainless steel. Built with a zirconia alumina abrasive grain at 36 grit, it delivers fast, free-cutting action with consistent stock removal. The wheel measures 14 inches in diameter, 7/64 inches thick, and accepts a 1-inch arbor hole. Both sides are reinforced for added structural integrity during high-speed operation. Rated at 4365 RPM maximum, it is intended for stationary tool use. Licensed trade professionals in fabrication, HVAC, and plumbing rely on this wheel for cutting structural pipe, flat bar, and sheet metal in shop environments.

This cut-off wheel is suited for stationary abrasive chop saws and cutoff machines in both shop and light industrial settings. Its 36-grit zirconia alumina construction performs well on ferrous metals, including carbon steel and stainless steel, making it a practical choice for HVAC duct fabrication, pipe cutting, and general metal fabrication tasks. The Black wheel color and Bluefire Free Cut specification indicate a formulation engineered for reduced heat buildup and extended wheel life during repetitive cuts.

Key Features

• Zirconia alumina abrasive grain at 36 grit for fast, consistent cutting
• Type 1 (01/41) flat wheel profile optimized for straight cutoff work
• Reinforced on both sides for structural durability at rated speeds
• Resinoid bond type provides strong grain adhesion during high-speed use
• Bluefire Free Cut formulation reduces heat buildup during repetitive cutting
• Rated for stationary tools at a maximum of 4365 RPM

Compatibility

Designed for use with stationary cutoff machines and abrasive chop saws that accept a 14-inch diameter, 1-inch arbor wheel. Rated for steel and stainless steel applications.

Installation Notes

Installation and wheel changes should be performed by a qualified operator following ANSI B7.1 safety standards for the use, care, and protection of abrasive wheels. Always power down and disconnect the machine before mounting or removing the wheel. Inspect the wheel for cracks or damage before each use and never exceed the rated maximum RPM. Ensure the machine arbor and flanges are clean, undamaged, and properly matched to the 1-inch hole size before securing the wheel.
