Norton 66252843596 Type 27 Grinding Wheel 5in Metal

Product Description

The NORTON 66252843596 is a Type 27 depressed center grinding wheel engineered for aggressive metal grinding and blending applications. Built with Gemini Aluminum Oxide abrasive, this wheel delivers consistent stock removal on ferrous metals including mild steel, stainless steel, and structural iron. It measures 5 inches in diameter with a 1/8 inch thickness and a 7/8 inch arbor bore, making it a standard fit for most 5-inch right-angle grinders used in fabrication, maintenance, and construction trades. The Type 27 depressed-center profile keeps the grinding face at a low angle to the workpiece, reducing operator fatigue during extended use.

This wheel is suited for both residential and commercial jobsite applications wherever angle grinders are part of the workflow. Ironworkers, pipefitters, welders, maintenance mechanics, and general contractors reach for Type 27 grinding wheels to remove weld spatter, dress welds, deburr cut edges, and surface-prep metal prior to coating or inspection. The Gemini Aluminum Oxide grain construction is formulated specifically for cutting performance on carbon steel and similar ferrous materials, making this a go-to consumable in metal fabrication shops and field service environments alike.

Installation Notes

This wheel must be installed and operated by qualified personnel familiar with abrasive wheel safety. Before mounting, inspect the wheel for cracks or chips and perform a ring test per ANSI B7.1 standards. Ensure the grinder is disconnected from power before changing wheels, and confirm the tool's rated RPM meets or exceeds the wheel's 12,225 RPM maximum. Always use the appropriate guard and personal protective equipment including a face shield rated for grinding operations.
