Norton 66261016005 Quick-change Disc 3 in Silicon Carbide

Product Description

The NORTON 66261016005 is a 3-inch Type III quick-change abrasive disc from the Bear-Tex Rapid Blend series. It uses silicon carbide grain bonded throughout a non-woven backing to deliver faster cutting action and a brighter scratch pattern compared to aluminum oxide alternatives. At a fine grade, it is suited for surface blending and finishing passes rather than aggressive stock removal. The Type R attaching system allows tool-free disc swaps on compatible handheld disc sanders and straight grinders, keeping downtime low during multi-step finishing work. The disc is rated to 15,000 RPM and weighs 0.05 pounds.

This disc is designed for fine-grade surface conditioning and finishing across a wide range of materials including aluminum, asphalt, concrete, hard and soft woods, masonry, natural stone, ceramic tile, and drywall. It is a practical choice for tradespeople and finishing technicians who need consistent scratch patterns on varied substrates in a single session. The non-woven construction distributes abrasive throughout the disc body, so performance stays consistent as the disc wears rather than degrading sharply at the surface layer.

Installation Notes

Verify the grinder or disc sander spindle accepts a Type R quick-change mount before installing. Confirm the tool's no-load RPM does not exceed the 15,000 RPM disc rating prior to use. Always wear appropriate eye and respiratory protection when grinding or sanding masonry, concrete, or stone substrates. Inspect the disc for damage or delamination before each use and discard any disc that shows signs of deterioration.
