It measures 8 inches in diameter, 1\/2 inch thick, and features a 1-1\/4 inch arbor hole. The abrasive is aluminum oxide bonded in a vitrified matrix, graded at 46 grit with a J hardness code — a coarse, medium-hardness specification suited to aggressive material removal while maintaining wheel integrity. It is rated to a maximum of 3600 RPM. The 38A series designation identifies this as a semi-friable white aluminum oxide wheel, a choice for grinding soft carbon steels, tool steels, and superalloys where thermal damage must be controlled.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis wheel is used in surface grinding, cylindrical grinding, and CNC cutting tool machine applications. It is suited to both production and tool-room environments where consistent material removal rates and surface finish are required. Typical applications include grinding flat surfaces on soft carbon steels, hardened tool steels, and superalloy workpieces. The vitrified bond provides rigidity and porosity that supports cool cutting action during extended passes. This wheel is appropriate for professional machinists, tool grinders, and maintenance technicians working with precision grinding equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType 1 straight wheel profile — no recess, no taper, direct mounting to standard surface grinder spindles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e38A semi-friable white aluminum oxide abrasive — controlled breakdown that exposes fresh cutting edges and reduces heat buildup\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVitrified bond — rigid, thermally stable, supports precise dressing and consistent form retention\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e46 grit, J hardness (coarse grade, medium hardness) — efficient material removal on a range of ferrous and superalloy workpieces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRated to 3600 RPM maximum — verify spindle speed before mounting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNon-porous, white wheel color — easy visual inspection for glazing and loading\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with surface grinders, cylindrical grinders, and CNC cutting tool machines.

Power down and lock out the machine before mounting. Perform a ring test on the wheel prior to installation to check for cracks, and use proper blotter flanges on both sides of the wheel. Never exceed the 3600 RPM maximum speed rating marked on the wheel or its packaging.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWheel Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWheel Thickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHole Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.25 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWheel Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Type 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAbrasive Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Aluminum Oxide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBond Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Vitrified\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrit\u003c\/strong\u003e: 46\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrade\u003c\/strong\u003e: Coarse\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardness Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: J\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWheel Hardness Rating\u003c\/strong\u003e: Medium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum RPM\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3600\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFriable\u003c\/strong\u003e: Semi-Friable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWheel Color\u003c\/strong\u003e: White\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePorous\u003c\/strong\u003e: Non-Porous\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTapered\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRecess Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: No Recess\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 38A Type 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e: 38A46-JVBE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Application\u003c\/strong\u003e: Soft Carbon Steels, Tool Steels, Super Alloys\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.09 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 23131503\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: NORTON\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 66253043752\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"NORTON","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51540180599090,"sku":"66253043752","price":99.46,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/d5e8b282b85d485d7e3e9a8059c664d5.jpg?v=1785848199","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/norton-66253043752-surface-grinding-wheel-8in-46-grit","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
