Norton 69014191693 Surface Grinding Wheel 180 Grit 6 in

Product Description

The NORTON 69014191693 is a Type 1A1 diamond surface grinding wheel designed for precision surface grinding applications where fine finish improvement is the primary goal. Built with a synthetic diamond abrasive and resinoid bond, this wheel operates at 180 grit for a very fine cut. It measures 6 inches in diameter, 1/4 inch thick, and features a 1-1/4 inch arbor hole. The wheel carries a soft hardness rating (code R) with 100 concentration synthetic diamond (SD) abrasive depth of 1/4 inch. It is rated for wet operation, which helps control heat and extends wheel life during grinding cycles.

This wheel is suited for applications where surface finish quality is the priority over stock removal rate. It is commonly used on carbide tooling, ceramics, and hard materials where conventional abrasive wheels lose efficiency. The very fine 180 grit grade makes it appropriate for finish grinding passes in tool and cutter grinding, surface grinding on precision components, and similar close-tolerance metalworking operations. Machinists, tool grinders, and precision grinding specialists are the primary installers and end users of this product.

Key Features

• Type 1A1 straight wheel profile with no recess and no taper for standard surface grinding spindle compatibility
• Synthetic diamond abrasive at 100 concentration delivers consistent cut on hard and brittle materials
• 180 grit very fine grade optimized for finish improvement rather than aggressive stock removal
• Resinoid bond provides controlled cutting action and good surface finish quality
• Wet operation rated — use with appropriate coolant to manage heat and extend wheel life
• Soft wheel hardness (R) reduces glazing risk on harder workpiece materials

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use diamond grinding wheel for surface grinders accepting a Type 1A1 straight wheel with a 1-1/4 inch arbor hole and 6 inch diameter mounting.

Installation Notes

Diamond grinding wheels must be mounted and dressed only by qualified machinists or grinding specialists following ANSI B7.1 safety standards for abrasive wheel machinery. Always power down and lock out the grinder before mounting or removing the wheel. Inspect the wheel for cracks or chips before installation and never exceed the rated maximum operating speed marked on the wheel. Wet operation requires a compatible coolant delivery system to be in place before grinding begins.
