Norton 66253464694 Cut-off Wheel 16 in Aluminum Oxide 30 Grit

Product Description

The NORTON 66253464694 is a reinforced aluminum oxide cut-off wheel designed for aggressive cutting on steel and stainless steel with stationary abrasive equipment. At 16 inches in diameter and 1/8 inch thick, this Type 1 (flat profile) wheel mounts on a 1-inch arbor and delivers straight, controlled cuts. The resinoid bond and 30-grit aluminum oxide grain provide the hardness and heat resistance needed for ferrous metal cutting applications. Both sides are reinforced for added structural integrity during high-load cutting cycles. Rated to a maximum of 3820 RPM, this wheel is sized and spec-rated for stationary tools only, not portable angle grinders.

This cut-off wheel is suited for metal fabrication shops, structural steel work, and industrial maintenance environments where stationary cut-off saws or chop saws are used. Typical applications include cutting structural steel, pipe, bar stock, and stainless steel components. The 30-grit, Hardness Code T rating and Grain Structure 4 designation indicate a medium-open structure suited for fast stock removal on ferrous materials. This wheel is not rated for portable handheld use and should only be mounted on stationary cutting equipment with a guarded work rest.

Key Features

• 16-inch diameter Type 1 flat wheel profile for stationary cut-off saws
• Aluminum oxide abrasive with 30 grit for fast cutting on ferrous metals
• Resinoid bond with Hardness Code T for durability under sustained cutting pressure
• Both sides reinforced for added safety margin during high-load cuts
• 3820 RPM maximum speed rating — stationary tool use only
• 1-inch arbor hole fits standard stationary cut-off machine spindles

Compatibility

Rated for use on steel and stainless steel with stationary cut-off tools. This wheel is not intended for portable angle grinders or handheld abrasive tools. Specification code U57A304-TB25B applies.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified operator familiar with stationary abrasive cutting equipment. Before mounting, verify that the machine spindle speed does not exceed the 3820 RPM wheel rating and that the arbor diameter matches the 1-inch hole size. Always inspect the wheel for cracks or damage before mounting and use the machine guard in place during operation. Follow ANSI B7.1 safety standards for the use, care, and protection of abrasive wheels.
