Norton 66253160788 Bench Pedestal Grinding Wheel 10in 24 Grit

Product Description

The NORTON 66253160788 is a Type 1 bench and pedestal grinding wheel designed for aggressive stock removal on metal workpieces. Measuring 10 inches in diameter and 1 inch thick with a 1-1/4 inch arbor hole, this wheel runs on standard bench grinders and pedestal grinders rated for its 2,485 maximum RPM. The abrasive is aluminum oxide bonded in a vitrified bond matrix, producing a hard, consistent cutting action suited to rough grinding, reshaping, and deburring ferrous metals. A bushing is included to accommodate common arbor sizes. Weighing approximately 6.60 pounds, the wheel is rated Very Coarse at 24 grit, making it the right choice for fast material removal rather than finishing work.

This wheel is used in maintenance, repair, and fabrication shops where technicians need to reshape tooling, remove weld flash, clean up castings, or prep metal stock. The 10-inch diameter provides a larger grinding face and longer wheel life compared to smaller bench grinder wheels. The vitrified bond resists heat buildup and breaks down consistently to expose fresh abrasive grain. Typical installers include maintenance mechanics, millwrights, pipefitters, and general fabricators working at fixed grinder stations.

Key Features

• 24 grit Very Coarse aluminum oxide abrasive for rapid stock removal
• Vitrified bond construction for consistent grain exposure and heat resistance
• 10 inch diameter by 1 inch thick Type 1 flat wheel profile
• 1-1/4 inch arbor hole with bushing included to fit common bench and pedestal grinder spindles
• 2,485 maximum RPM rating — do not exceed on any grinder setup
• Non-porous structure supports stable, controlled grinding pressure

Compatibility

Designed for use on bench grinders and pedestal grinders with a 10 inch wheel capacity and a spindle speed at or below 2,485 RPM. Confirm grinder RPM rating before mounting.

Installation Notes

Grinding wheel installation must follow ANSI B7.1 safety standards. Power down and lock out the grinder before removing the old wheel or mounting this one. Inspect the wheel for cracks or chips before mounting — never mount a damaged wheel. Perform a ring test by suspending the wheel and tapping it lightly; a clear tone indicates integrity. Run the grinder under guard at operating speed for at least one minute before applying workpiece contact, and always use the manufacturer-supplied flanges and the included bushing to ensure correct seating.
