Built with aluminum oxide abrasive and a vitrified bond, this wheel delivers consistent, controlled cutting action across coarse-grade stock removal applications. It measures 12 inches in diameter, 1 inch thick, with a 3-inch arbor hole, and carries a maximum operating speed of 2070 RPM. The H hardness rating and 46 grit make it well suited to aggressive roughing passes on hard and soft carbon steels, tool steels, cast iron, and similar materials. Licensed machinists and grinding specialists rely on this specification for precision flatwork on surface grinders and cylindrical grinders.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis wheel is used in surface grinding operations across production machine shops, tool rooms, and maintenance facilities. The 32A46-HVBEP specification targets both OEM and job-shop environments where consistent wheel performance across a range of materials is required. The porous, vitrified structure promotes cool cutting and chip clearance, making it appropriate for longer grinding cycles where heat buildup is a concern. Suitable for CNC cutting tool machines, cylindrical grinders, and surface grinders in both light industrial and heavy production settings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e46 grit coarse aluminum oxide abrasive for aggressive stock removal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVitrified bond with porous structure for cool cutting and chip clearance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eH hardness (soft-to-medium range) helps maintain free-cutting action on harder workpiece materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType 1 flat wheel profile with no recess — straightforward mounting on standard arbors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRated to 2070 RPM maximum operating speed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeries specification 32A46-HVBEP for cross-reference and replacement ordering\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eRated for use on 400 series stainless steel, hard carbon steels, soft carbon steels, tool steels, aluminum, cast iron, ductile iron, and gray iron.

Before mounting, perform a ring test to check for cracks and confirm the wheel speed rating meets or exceeds the machine spindle speed. Power down and lock out the grinder before installing or removing any wheel. Never exceed the maximum operating speed of 2070 RPM marked on the wheel blotter.\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\u003eSeries Specification\u003c\/strong\u003e: 32A46-HVBEP\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\u003eArbor Hole Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3 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: H\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWheel Hardness Rating\u003c\/strong\u003e: Soft\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBond Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Vitrified\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePorous\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWheel Color\u003c\/strong\u003e: Gray\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\u003eMaximum RPM\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2070\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: 66253262842\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"NORTON","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51539518554418,"sku":"66253262842","price":426.45,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/ef0b055d3ad7ed4c78bcc487c0023179.jpg?v=1785842392","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/norton-66253262842-surface-grinding-wheel-12in-46-grit","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
