Norton 66253161250 Bench Grinding Wheel 10in Aluminum Oxide

Product Description

The NORTON 66253161250 is a Type 1 bench and pedestal grinding wheel designed for aggressive stock removal on steel, ferrous metals, and similar hard materials. Built with aluminum oxide abrasive and a vitrified bond, it delivers consistent cutting action and thermal stability under continuous use. The wheel measures 10 inches in diameter and 1-1/4 inches thick with a 1-1/4 inches arbor hole. A dual-grit designation of 36/46 places it in the coarse range, making it well suited to grinding, shaping, and deburring rough workpieces. Rated at a maximum of 2,485 RPM, it is sized for 10-inch bench or pedestal grinders found in maintenance shops, fabrication facilities, and tool rooms. Bushing hardware is included to accommodate common arbor sizes.

This wheel fits standard 10-inch bench grinders and pedestal grinders used in industrial maintenance, metalworking, and fabrication settings. Coarse 36/46 grit is appropriate for rapid material removal, edge grinding, and weld cleanup on steel and other ferrous workpieces. It is a common replacement wheel for shops requiring consistent, repeatable cutting performance in a non-porous, vitrified-bond format. Licensed trades including millwrights, machinists, and maintenance mechanics regularly specify wheels of this type for general-purpose bench grinding applications.

Installation Notes

Wheel mounting should be performed by a qualified operator following ANSI B7.1 safe-use standards for abrasive wheels. Power down and lock out the grinder before removing the old wheel or installing a new one. Always perform a ring test before mounting and confirm the wheel RPM rating meets or exceeds the grinder nameplate speed before operation. Use the supplied flanges and blotters; never exceed the stamped maximum RPM.
