Norton 66252922690 Cut-off Wheel 7 in Aluminum Oxide 60 Grit

Product Description

The NORTON 66252922690 is a Type 1 (01/41) resinoid-bonded aluminum oxide cut-off wheel designed for precision cutting on steel and stainless steel. At 7 inches in diameter and 3/32 inches thick, it delivers clean, controlled cuts on stationary grinders. The 60-grit aluminum oxide grain provides a balance of fast material removal and acceptable surface finish on ferrous metals. With a maximum rated speed of 6,550 RPM and a 1-1/4 inch arbor hole, this wheel fits standard stationary grinder spindles used in fabrication shops, maintenance facilities, and trade jobsites. It is a non-reinforced wheel, so proper handling and storage are essential. Licensed professionals and experienced tradespeople working with angle iron, pipe, flat stock, and sheet metal will find this a dependable cutting consumable.

This cut-off wheel is intended for use on stationary grinders in applications involving steel and stainless steel. Typical install and use scenarios include metal fabrication shops, HVAC duct fabrication, plumbing rough-in cutting of steel pipe, and general maintenance environments where straight, controlled cuts are required. The non-reinforced Type 1 flat profile is suited for straight plunge cuts rather than side grinding. Operators working with stainless steel should note that aluminum oxide is an appropriate abrasive for ferrous and stainless work without introducing contamination from silicon carbide or other non-compatible grains.

• 1-1/4 inch arbor hole fits standard stationary grinder spindles
• Maximum rated speed of 6,550 RPM — do not exceed this rating

Compatibility

Designed for use with stationary grinders accepting a 7 inch diameter, Type 1 cut-off wheel with a 1-1/4 inch arbor hole. Rated for cutting steel and stainless steel.

Installation Notes

Installation and wheel changes should be performed by qualified personnel following the grinder manufacturer instructions and applicable ANSI B7.1 safety standards for abrasive wheels. Always power down and disconnect or lock out the grinder before mounting or removing a wheel. Inspect the wheel visually for cracks or chips before mounting — never use a damaged wheel. Do not exceed the 6,550 RPM maximum rated speed marked on the wheel; confirm the grinder spindle speed before operation.
