It measures 12 inches in diameter, 1 inch thick, with a 3-inch arbor hole. The wheel is made from white aluminum oxide abrasive bonded in a vitrified bond matrix, producing a coarse, 46-grit cut rated H hardness. The semi-friable grain structure allows the wheel to fracture and self-sharpen during use, helping maintain consistent cut rates on softer workpiece materials. Maximum operating speed is 2070 RPM. This wheel carries the specification designation 38A46-HVBE.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis wheel is suited for grinding soft carbon steels, tool steels, and super alloys in both production and toolroom environments. Typical applications include surface grinding flat workpieces, OD cylindrical grinding, and sharpening cutting tools on CNC tool grinders. The white aluminum oxide formulation and H-grade hardness make it a standard choice when cool cutting action and free material removal are priorities over wheel longevity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType 1 straight wheel profile — no recess, no taper — for standard surface and cylindrical grinder spindles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e46 grit, coarse grade aluminum oxide for aggressive stock removal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eH hardness (soft rating) with semi-friable grain promotes self-sharpening during cut\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVitrified bond provides rigidity and porosity for consistent chip clearance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhite wheel color indicates white aluminum oxide abrasive, suitable for heat-sensitive toolroom applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpecification 38A46-HVBE for verified reorder against OEM machine requirements\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with surface grinders, cylindrical grinders, and CNC cutting tool machines.

Always ring-test the wheel for cracks before mounting and never exceed the 2070 RPM maximum speed rating. Power down and lock out the grinder before changing wheels. Use proper blotter flanges and tighten the arbor nut to manufacturer specification — do not over-tighten.\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: 3 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWheel Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Type 1 (Straight, No Recess)\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\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: H (Soft)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFriability\u003c\/strong\u003e: Semi-Friable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWheel Color\u003c\/strong\u003e: White\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum RPM\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2070\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpecification\u003c\/strong\u003e: 38A46-HVBE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Application\u003c\/strong\u003e: Soft Carbon Steels, Tool Steels, Super Alloys\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9.045 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: 66253262700\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"NORTON","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51542055059762,"sku":"66253262700","price":277.54,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/16cbaf67343ae6fefb8723c87e87d69e.jpg?v=1785890686","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/norton-66253262700-surface-grinding-wheel-12in-46-grit","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
