Constructed from aluminum oxide abrasive grain bonded with a vitrified bond, it delivers consistent cut rates and good form retention under repeated passes. The wheel measures 12 inches in diameter, 1 inch thick, with a 5-inch arbor hole, and carries a coarse 46 grit rating with an I hardness code, placing it in the medium hardness range. Rated at a maximum of 2,070 RPM, this wheel is suited for production surface grinding where aggressive material removal is the priority. Licensed grinding technicians and tool-room machinists are the primary installers and operators.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis wheel is designed for use on surface grinders, cylindrical grinders, and CNC cutting tool machines in both shop and production environments. It performs on a broad range of materials including 400 Series stainless steel, hard and soft carbon steels, tool steels, aluminum, cast iron, ductile iron, and gray iron. Its porous structure aids coolant flow and chip clearance, making it practical for wet or dry grinding operations in tool-and-die, maintenance, and production machining settings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAluminum oxide abrasive grain for reliable cutting action on steels, cast iron, and aluminum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVitrified bond provides rigidity and consistent wheel geometry during grinding passes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCoarse 46 grit removes material quickly, reducing cycle times on heavy stock removal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePorous wheel structure promotes coolant penetration and chip clearance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo recess, no taper — straight Type 1 profile for straightforward mounting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeries specification 32A46-IVBE for precise wheel identification and replacement ordering\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 power down and lock out the grinder before mounting or removing the wheel. Inspect the wheel for cracks or chips before each use using the ring test; do not mount a damaged wheel. Confirm the machine spindle speed does not exceed the wheel's 2,070 RPM maximum rating before operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAbrasive Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Aluminum Oxide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWheel Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Type 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBond Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Vitrified\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrade\u003c\/strong\u003e: Coarse\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrit\u003c\/strong\u003e: 46\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\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\u003eMaximum RPM\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2,070\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWheel Color\u003c\/strong\u003e: Gray\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePorous\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\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\u003eSeries Specification\u003c\/strong\u003e: 32A46-IVBE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7.973 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: 66253262565\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"NORTON","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51538812338482,"sku":"66253262565","price":436.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/093410018fa18500aa4503a16af050e8.jpg?v=1785827253","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/norton-66253262565-surface-grinding-wheel-12in-46-grit","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
