Norton 66252843616 Type 27 Grinding Wheel 5x0.125x0.875

Product Description

The NORTON 66252843616 is a Type 27 depressed center grinding wheel designed for aggressive metal grinding applications. Built with an aluminum oxide abrasive grain, this wheel is engineered to cut through ferrous metals efficiently while maintaining consistent stock removal across its service life. At 5 inches in diameter with a 0.125-inch thickness and a 0.875-inch arbor bore, it mounts to standard 5-inch angle grinders used daily in fabrication shops, welding operations, and mechanical contracting. The Type 27 depressed center profile keeps the grinding surface closer to the workpiece, giving the operator better control and visibility during use. This is a professional-grade consumable wheel intended for tradespeople working with steel, iron, and other metals.

This wheel is suited for use in metal fabrication, structural steel work, welding cleanup, pipefitting, and general mechanical trades. The aluminum oxide grain performs well on carbon steel, stainless-adjacent ferrous alloys, and cast iron surfaces. It is commonly used for weld bead grinding, surface preparation before coating, and material removal in tight workspaces where a flat disc cannot access properly. Sold in a case quantity of 25, it is a practical consumable buy for shops and service crews that run angle grinders regularly. The 0.875-inch arbor fits the standard spindle found on most 5-inch grinders in commercial and industrial use.

Key Features

• Type 27 depressed center profile for improved clearance and operator sightlines during grinding
• Aluminum oxide abrasive grain optimized for ferrous metal stock removal
• 5-inch diameter with 0.125-inch thickness for aggressive yet controlled cutting action
• 0.875-inch arbor bore fits standard 5-inch angle grinder spindles
• Case pack of 25 wheels supports high-volume shop and field use

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard 5-inch angle grinders accepting a 0.875-inch arbor. Intended for grinding ferrous metals including carbon steel and cast iron. Verify that the grinder RPM rating meets or exceeds the maximum RPM marked on the wheel before mounting.

Installation Notes

Mounting and replacement of grinding wheels should be performed by qualified personnel following ANSI B7.1 safety standards for the use, care, and protection of abrasive wheels. Disconnect and lock out the grinder from its power source before removing or installing any wheel. Inspect the wheel visually and perform a ring test before mounting to check for cracks or damage. Never exceed the maximum operating RPM rating marked on the wheel, and always use the correct guard supplied with the angle grinder.
