Norton 66252843253 Cut-off Wheel 14 in Zirconia Alumina

Product Description

The NORTON 66252843253 is a Type 1 resinoid-bonded cut-off wheel engineered for high-demand cutting applications on steel and stainless steel. Measuring 14 inches in diameter and 7/64 inches thick with a 1-inch arbor hole, this wheel is built around a zirconia alumina abrasive grain at 36 grit, delivering aggressive stock removal with extended wheel life. The reinforced construction features sides that are reinforced for added durability under lateral stress. Rated to a maximum of 4,365 RPM, it is designed for use with stationary cutting tools. Trade professionals in metal fabrication, HVAC, and industrial maintenance rely on this wheel for clean, fast cuts through ferrous and non-ferrous alloys.

This cut-off wheel is suited for stationary tool applications where consistent, repeatable cuts on steel and stainless steel are required. Typical use cases include cutting structural steel, pipe, angle iron, and sheet metal in shop or job-site environments. The zirconia alumina grain and Bluefire Long Life specification make it a practical choice for production-level cutting where wheel longevity reduces changeover frequency. It is packaged as a single unit and sold individually.

Key Features

• Zirconia alumina abrasive grain at 36 grit for aggressive, fast cutting action
• Type 1 flat wheel profile optimized for straight cut-off operations
• Reinforced construction with sides reinforced for durability under load
• Resinoid bond type provides reliable grain retention at operating speeds
• Bluefire Long Life specification for extended service life in production use
• Rated to 4,365 RPM maximum for stationary tool compatibility

Compatibility

Designed for use with stationary cutting tools. Rated for cutting steel and stainless steel. Always verify that the tool spindle speed does not exceed the 4,365 RPM maximum rating of this wheel before mounting.

Installation Notes

Mounting and changing abrasive cut-off wheels should be performed by qualified personnel following ANSI B7.1 safety standards. Always power down and disconnect the machine before removing or installing the wheel. Inspect the wheel for cracks or damage before each use and never operate above the marked maximum RPM. Wear appropriate PPE including eye and face protection when operating cutting equipment.
