Norton 66253122816 Cut-off Wheel 10 in Aluminum Oxide 46 Grit

Product Description

The NORTON 66253122816 is a Type 1 (01/41) resinoid-bonded aluminum oxide cut-off wheel designed for straight, through-cutting operations on steel and stainless steel. Measuring 10 inches in diameter with a 1/16-inch cutting width and a 5/8-inch arbor hole, this wheel mounts to stationary cut-off saws and chop saws used in fabrication, maintenance, and metalworking shops. The 46-grit aluminum oxide abrasive delivers an aggressive cut on ferrous and stainless stock. A resinoid bond provides the structural integrity needed to sustain the rated 4585 RPM operating speed. Weight comes in at 0.5 pounds, making the wheel easy to handle during tool setup.

This wheel is rated for use with stationary tools and is suited for metal fabrication shops, pipe cutting stations, structural steel work, and general maintenance applications where straight cuts on steel or stainless steel flat bar, rod, or pipe are required. The 10-inch diameter and 1/16-inch thickness are standard sizing for benchtop and floor-standing abrasive cut-off saws. Installation and use are appropriate for machinists, fabricators, maintenance technicians, and industrial tradespeople who work with ferrous metals in a fixed-tool environment.

Key Features

• 10-inch diameter, 1/16-inch thick Type 1 (01/41) profile for straight cut-off operations
• 46-grit aluminum oxide abrasive with grain structure 8 and hardness code Q for aggressive material removal on steel and stainless steel
• Resinoid (vitrified resin) bond for structural integrity at operating speed
• 4585 maximum RPM rating for stationary cut-off saw applications
• 5/8-inch arbor hole fits standard stationary cut-off machine spindles
• Brown wheel color indicates standard aluminum oxide abrasive composition per Norton specification 57A46-Q8BW

Compatibility

Rated for use with stationary cut-off tools. Designed for cutting steel and stainless steel. Confirm that the mounting machine spindle speed does not exceed 4585 RPM and that the arbor accepts a 5/8-inch hole before installation.

Installation Notes

Cut-off wheels must be installed and operated by qualified personnel familiar with abrasive wheel safety per ANSI B7.1 and the tool manufacturer's instructions. Always power down and de-energize the stationary tool before mounting or removing the wheel. Inspect the wheel for cracks, chips, or damage before each use and never mount a damaged wheel. Use the correct flanges, blotters, and guards as specified by the machine manufacturer, and confirm the machine's rated spindle speed does not exceed the wheel's 4585 RPM maximum.
