Norton 662532-63055 Bench Pedestal Grinding Wheel 12x2x1.5

Product Description

The NORTON 662532-63055 is a Type 1 straight bench and pedestal grinding wheel designed for general-purpose metal grinding applications. Built from standard aluminum oxide abrasive in a coarse grain, this wheel delivers aggressive stock removal on ferrous metals including mild steel, tool steel, and cast iron. It measures 12 inches in diameter, 2 inches wide, and has a 1.5-inch arbor bore. The maximum rated speed is 2070 RPM. Machinists, fabricators, and maintenance technicians install this wheel on stationary bench grinders and pedestal grinders for edge dressing, deburring, and reshaping metal workpieces.

This wheel is suited for industrial maintenance shops, fabrication facilities, and trade environments where a large-diameter bench or pedestal grinder is part of the standard tool setup. The coarse grit makes it appropriate for fast material removal rather than finish grinding. It is sold individually and fits pedestal grinder spindles with a 1.5-inch bore. Typical installations include heavy-duty bench grinders used by metalworkers and maintenance professionals for sharpening tooling, cleaning welds, or shaping raw stock.

Key Features

• Type 1 straight wheel geometry — the standard profile for bench and pedestal grinder applications
• General-purpose aluminum oxide abrasive — effective on a broad range of ferrous metals
• Coarse grain for aggressive stock removal and fast deburring
• 2070 RPM maximum operating speed — verify grinder nameplate speed does not exceed this rating before mounting
• Large 12-inch diameter provides extended wheel life and a wide grinding surface
• 1.5-inch arbor bore fits common heavy-duty pedestal grinder spindles

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or upgrade wheel for stationary bench and pedestal grinders that accept a Type 1 straight wheel with a 12-inch diameter, 2-inch width, and 1.5-inch arbor bore, operating at or below 2070 RPM.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with ANSI B7.1 safety standards for the use, care, and protection of abrasive wheels. Always disconnect and lock out power to the grinder before mounting or removing a wheel. Inspect the wheel for cracks or chips before mounting and perform a ring test per ANSI guidelines. Never exceed the maximum RPM marked on the wheel — confirm the grinder's no-load speed is at or below 2070 RPM before operation.
