Norton 66253149834 Surface Grinding Wheel 10 in 60 Grit

Product Description

The NORTON 66253149834 is a Type 1 surface grinding wheel designed for precision stock removal on ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Built with aluminum oxide abrasive and a vitrified bond, this wheel measures 10 inches in diameter, 0.5 inches thick, with a 3-inch arbor hole. It carries a 60-grit medium-grade specification suited for controlled material removal without excessive surface damage. Rated at a maximum of 2,485 RPM, it is intended for use on surface grinders, cylindrical grinders, and CNC cutting tool machines. The vitrified bond provides rigidity and free-cutting action across a broad range of metalworking applications. Licensed grinding technicians and machinist trades install and dress this wheel during routine toolroom and production grinding operations.

This wheel is well suited for surface grinding operations on 400 series stainless steel, hard and soft carbon steels, tool steels, aluminum, cast iron, ductile iron, and gray iron. It fits surface grinders and cylindrical grinders commonly found in machine shops, toolrooms, and production grinding cells. The 3-inch hole diameter accommodates standard spindle arbors on full-size reciprocating and rotary surface grinders. The porous structure of the wheel helps clear swarf and reduces heat buildup during extended cuts on ferrous materials.

Key Features

• Aluminum oxide abrasive for broad metalworking compatibility across ferrous and non-ferrous materials
• Vitrified bond provides structural rigidity and consistent cutting action throughout wheel life
• 60-grit medium grade balances stock removal rate with surface finish quality
• Porous wheel structure promotes swarf clearance and thermal management during grinding
• Type 1 flat wheel profile with no recess and no taper for straightforward mounting
• Specification code 32A60-KVBE identifies abrasive type, grit, hardness, bond, and structure for precise wheel selection

Compatibility

Rated for use with surface grinders, cylindrical grinders, and CNC cutting tool machines. Compatible material applications include 400 series stainless steel, hard carbon steels, soft carbon steels, tool steels, aluminum, cast iron, ductile iron, and gray iron. Series designation is 32A Type 1.

Installation Notes

Grinding wheel mounting and dressing must be performed by qualified personnel following ANSI B7.1 safety standards for the use, care, and protection of abrasive wheels. Before mounting, confirm the machine spindle speed does not exceed the wheel's maximum rated RPM of 2,485. Power down and lock out the grinder before changing wheels, inspect the wheel for cracks using a ring test, and use proper flanges and blotters when securing to the spindle. Never force a wheel onto a spindle or alter the arbor hole diameter.
