Built with aluminum oxide abrasive and a vitrified bond, it delivers consistent cut rates and long wheel life under continuous machine use. The wheel measures 12 inches in diameter, 1 inch thick, with a 5-inch arbor hole, and is rated for a maximum speed of 2,705 RPM. At 46 grit with an I hardness code, it falls in the coarse grade range, making it well-suited for aggressive material removal where surface finish is a secondary concern. Licensed machinists, tool-and-die shops, and grinding specialists are the primary installers and operators of this wheel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis wheel is rated for use on 400 series stainless steel, hard and soft carbon steels, tool steels, aluminum, cast iron, ductile iron, and gray iron. It is intended for use on surface grinders, cylindrical grinders, and CNC cutting tool machines. The non-porous, non-tapered, non-recessed Type 1 profile makes it a straightforward fit for standard surface grinding spindle setups. It belongs to the NORTON 32A Type 1 series, which is engineered for consistent performance across production grinding environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAluminum oxide abrasive with vitrified bond for stable, consistent grinding action\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e46 grit coarse grade for high material removal rates on metal workpieces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI hardness code (medium hardness rating) balances wheel life with cutting efficiency\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType 1 straight wheel profile with no recess and no taper for standard spindle compatibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRated to 2,705 RPM maximum operating speed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with a broad material range including stainless, carbon steels, tool steels, aluminum, and cast iron\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eRated for use with surface grinders, cylindrical grinders, and CNC cutting tool machines.

Always inspect the wheel for cracks or damage before mounting and perform a ring test on vitrified wheels before use. Power down and lock out the grinder before changing wheels, and verify that the machine spindle speed does not exceed the wheel maximum RPM rating of 2,705. Use proper flanges and blotters as specified by the grinder manufacturer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWheel Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 12 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWheel Thickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHole Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrit\u003c\/strong\u003e: 46\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrade\u003c\/strong\u003e: Coarse\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardness Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: I\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWheel Hardness Rating\u003c\/strong\u003e: Medium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum RPM\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2,705\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAbrasive Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Aluminum Oxide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBond Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Vitrified\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWheel Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Type 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePorous\u003c\/strong\u003e: Non-Porous\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTapered\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRecess Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: No Recess\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWheel Color\u003c\/strong\u003e: Blue \/ Gray\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e: 46I8V32A\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 23131503\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8.4 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: NORTON\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 66253246905\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"NORTON","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51540192133426,"sku":"66253246905","price":97.35,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/65f5afc7221767d35d267c15457b5750.jpg?v=1785848475","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/norton-66253246905-surface-grinding-wheel-12in-46-grit","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
