Norton 66253262172 Cut-off Wheel 12in Aluminum Oxide

Product Description

The NORTON 66253262172 is a Type 1 (01/41) resinoid-bonded aluminum oxide cut-off wheel designed for aggressive cutting on steel and stainless steel. At 12 inches in diameter and 1/16 inches thick, it delivers fast, narrow cuts with minimal material loss. The 1-1/4 inches arbor hole fits standard angle grinder spindles. With a maximum operating speed of 3820 RPM and a hardness code of H, this wheel is built for controlled, consistent performance in demanding metal fabrication and maintenance applications. It is installed and operated by metal fabricators, pipefitters, ironworkers, and maintenance mechanics who rely on a dependable cut-off wheel for both ferrous and non-ferrous stainless work.

This cut-off wheel is suited for use with angle grinders in residential, commercial, and industrial settings. It is commonly used for cutting structural steel, pipe, angle iron, and stainless steel components on job sites and in fabrication shops. The 90 grit aluminum oxide abrasive and resinoid bond provide a balance of cut speed and wheel life appropriate for straight, plunge, and flush cuts. The non-reinforced Type 1 flat profile makes it the standard choice for chop-style and right-angle grinder cutting operations.

Installation Notes

Installation and operation should be performed by qualified personnel familiar with abrasive wheel safety standards, including ANSI B7.1 guidelines. Always inspect the wheel for cracks or damage before mounting and confirm the grinder speed rating does not exceed the wheel maximum of 3820 RPM. Power down and disconnect the grinder from its power source before changing wheels. Never use a cut-off wheel for side grinding or material removal beyond its rated application.
