Norton 66253207548 Cut-off Wheel 12in Aluminum Oxide Type 1

Product Description

The NORTON 66253207548 is a Type 1 reinforced aluminum oxide cut-off wheel designed for aggressive cutting of steel and stainless steel on stationary tools. Measuring 12 inches in diameter with a 1/8 inch thickness and a 1 inch arbor hole, this wheel is bonded with a resinoid bond system and reinforced on both sides for added durability under load. Rated to a maximum of 5,095 RPM, it is built for use with stationary cut-off machines in fabrication shops, mechanical contractors, and maintenance environments. The Gemini Long Life designation indicates an extended wheel life compared to standard abrasive wheels of this class.

This wheel is suited for cutting ferrous and stainless steel stock including bar, angle, pipe, and structural shapes. Its 12 inch diameter makes it a fit for larger stationary abrasive saws commonly found in metal fabrication shops, HVAC fabrication facilities, plumbing shops, and industrial maintenance settings. The Type 1 flat profile is intended strictly for straight cutting applications and is not rated for grinding or side pressure use.

Key Features

• Aluminum oxide abrasive with resinoid bond for consistent cut performance on steel and stainless steel
• Both sides reinforced for improved structural integrity during high-load cutting
• Type 1 flat wheel profile rated for straight cut-off operations only
• 5,095 maximum RPM rating for use with stationary cut-off tools
• Gemini Long Life construction for extended wheel service life
• Black wheel color for quick visual identification

Compatibility

Designed for use with stationary abrasive cut-off tools that accept a 12 inch diameter, 1 inch arbor, Type 1 cut-off wheel rated at or below 5,095 RPM. Suitable for cutting steel and stainless steel.

Installation Notes

This wheel is intended for installation and use by qualified personnel familiar with abrasive wheel safety per ANSI B7.1 and applicable OSHA standards. Always power down and de-energize the stationary tool before mounting or removing the wheel. Inspect the wheel for cracks or damage before each use and never exceed the maximum RPM rating marked on the wheel. Type 1 wheels are approved for straight cutting only — side grinding or lateral pressure is not permitted and can cause wheel failure.
