Built to the 32A46-GVBEP specification, it uses aluminum oxide abrasive in a vitrified bond matrix, delivering consistent cut rate and predictable breakdown across the wheel face. The wheel measures 8 inches in diameter, 3\/4 inches thick, with a 1-1\/4 inch arbor hole. It is rated at a maximum of 3,105 RPM and carries a coarse grade, G hardness code, making it suitable for aggressive material removal on harder workpiece materials. Licensed machinists, tool grinders, and CNC machine operators are the primary users.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis wheel is used in precision surface grinding and cylindrical grinding applications across job shops, tool rooms, and production machining environments. It handles 400 series stainless steel, hard and soft carbon steels, tool steels, aluminum, cast iron, ductile iron, and gray iron. Its porous vitrified bond resists loading on gummy materials like aluminum and softer irons, maintaining a free-cutting action through the grind cycle. The 8-inch diameter is a common fit for benchtop and floor-standing surface grinders as well as cylindrical grinding machines used in toolroom and CNC environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e32A46-GVBEP specification: aluminum oxide abrasive with vitrified bond for consistent, controlled stock removal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCoarse 46 grit for aggressive cutting on hard and soft carbon steels, stainless, and cast iron\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePorous wheel structure resists loading on aluminum and softer workpiece materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eG hardness (soft) rating allows the wheel to shed dull grains and maintain cutting efficiency\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo recess, no taper — standard Type 1 flat wheel geometry for straightforward mounting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRated to 3,105 RPM maximum operating speed\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.

Always power down the machine and confirm zero energy state before changing wheels. Inspect the wheel for cracks or chips before mounting — never mount a damaged wheel. Conduct a ring test per ANSI B7.1 and run the wheel at operating speed for at least one minute behind a guard before presenting work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAbrasive Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Aluminum Oxide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 32A Type 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpecification Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 32A46-GVBEP\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWheel Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Type 1 (Flat, No Recess)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBond Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Vitrified\u003c\/li\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: 0.75 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\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: G (Soft)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePorous\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWheel Color\u003c\/strong\u003e: Gray\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum RPM\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3,105\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.14 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: 66253044195\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"NORTON","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51538421809458,"sku":"66253044195","price":128.08,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/0c64325cd981dba5d088ce2461619f4c.jpg?v=1785824624","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/norton-66253044195-surface-grinding-wheel-46-grit-8-in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
