It measures 8 inches in diameter, 1\/2 inch thick, with a 1-1\/4 inch arbor hole. The abrasive is white aluminum oxide (38A series), bonded with a vitrified bond for rigidity and free-cutting action. At 46 grit with H hardness (coarse, soft-to-medium grade), it is well suited for aggressive material removal while maintaining consistent surface finish. Rated to 3,105 RPM maximum. The semi-friable grain self-sharpens under load, extending wheel life between dressings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis wheel is intended for grinding soft carbon steels, tool steels, and super alloys in production and toolroom environments. It is a porous, non-tapered, no-recess wheel, making it a straightforward drop-in for standard Type 1 flanged arbor mounting on horizontal-spindle surface grinders. The 38A46-HVBEP specification places it in a well-established Norton series used by tool and die shops, job shops, and maintenance grinding operations where consistent cut rate and wheel life are priorities.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhite aluminum oxide abrasive (38A series) for free-cutting performance on ferrous metals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVitrified bond provides rigidity and coolant compatibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e46 grit coarse grade for fast stock removal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eH hardness (soft) rating reduces glazing on softer workpiece materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePorous structure aids coolant flow and chip clearance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType 1 flat wheel geometry fits standard horizontal-spindle surface and cylindrical grinders\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 requiring a Type 1 wheel with a 1-1\/4 inch arbor hole.

Always ring-test the wheel for cracks before mounting and never exceed the rated 3,105 RPM maximum speed. Shut down and lock out the grinder before changing wheels, and use proper flanges matched to the wheel diameter and arbor size. Run the wheel under guard for at least one minute at operating speed before presenting it to the workpiece.\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\u003eArbor Hole Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.25 inches\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: H (Soft)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAbrasive Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Aluminum Oxide (White)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBond Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Vitrified\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWheel Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Type 1 (Straight)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries Specification\u003c\/strong\u003e: 38A46-HVBEP\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum RPM\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3,105\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePorous\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\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\u003eFriability\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\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\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: 66253043891\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"NORTON","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51539255165234,"sku":"66253043891","price":99.46,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/abc5bdfb699c0bb0685394da3959017f.jpg?v=1785837228","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/norton-66253043891-surface-grinding-wheel-8in-46-grit","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
