Norton 66261096557 3 in Ceramic Quick-change Disc

Product Description

The NORTON 66261096557 is a 3-inch quick-change abrasive disc from the Bear-Tex Blaze Rapid Blend series, engineered for fast material removal on metal surfaces. It uses a ceramic alumina grain on a rigid, non-woven backing and attaches via the Type R (Speed-Lok TR) system, making it compatible with standard quick-change tooling. Rated at a maximum of 12,000 RPM and graded Extra Coarse, this disc is designed for aggressive blending and surface conditioning tasks. The open web construction resists loading, and the Blaze ceramic grain is formulated to cut significantly faster than conventional abrasive discs. Installed by fabricators, pipefitters, and metalworking tradespeople who require consistent cut rate across a range of base metals.

This disc is suited for use in industrial and fabrication environments where quick material removal or surface prep is required on a variety of metals. Compatible materials include 300 Series and 400 Series stainless steel, aluminum, brass, bronze, hard carbon steels, soft carbon steels, and titanium. It is designed for use with handheld disc sanders and straight grinders. Its compact 3-inch diameter makes it well suited for tight access areas and detail work on welded joints, edges, and contoured surfaces.

Installation Notes

Installation and disc changes should be performed with the tool powered off and disconnected from its power source or air supply.
