Norton 69014191696 Surface Grinding Wheel 150 Grit 6in

Product Description

The NORTON 69014191696 is a Type 1A1 diamond surface grinding wheel designed for precision flat-surface stock removal and finishing operations. It measures 6 inches in diameter, 3/8 inches thick, and features a 1-1/4 inch arbor hole. The abrasive matrix uses synthetic diamond (SD) bonded in a resinoid system at 100 percent concentration, delivering consistent cut rate and form retention. At 150 grit, it falls in the Very Fine grade range, suited for both roughing and finishing passes where tight surface tolerances are required. The wheel carries a soft hardness rating (code R) and is designed for wet operation. Machinists and surface grinder operators in tool rooms, precision machine shops, and carbide tooling facilities are the primary users of this wheel.

This wheel is used on horizontal-spindle surface grinders for grinding hard and brittle materials where conventional abrasives are inefficient. Typical applications include sharpening carbide tooling, finishing ceramic or cermet components, and flat-grinding PCD inserts. The 1/4 inch superabrasive depth allows multiple dressings over the wheel life. Its no-recess, no-taper Type 1A1 profile fits standard surface grinder spindle setups. It is appropriate for both production and maintenance tool room environments handling carbide, glass, ceramics, and similar hard materials.

Key Features

• Synthetic diamond abrasive (SD) at 100 percent concentration for consistent, aggressive stock removal on hard materials
• 150 grit Very Fine grade for combined roughing and finishing capability in a single wheel
• Resinoid bond system provides controlled cut action and good surface finish on carbide and ceramics
• Soft hardness rating (R) reduces heat buildup and wheel loading during wet grinding passes
• Type 1A1 straight-wheel profile with no recess and no taper for straightforward mounting on standard surface grinder spindles
• 1/4 inch superabrasive depth extends usable wheel life through multiple dressing cycles

Compatibility

Designed for use on horizontal-spindle surface grinders accepting a 6 inch diameter, Type 1A1 straight wheel with a 1-1/4 inch arbor hole. Refer to machine manufacturer specifications to confirm maximum operating speed and spindle compatibility before mounting.

Installation Notes

Installation and wheel mounting should be performed by qualified grinding machine operators or maintenance personnel familiar with abrasive wheel safety. Always power down and lock out the grinder before mounting or removing any wheel. Inspect the wheel for cracks or chips before installation and perform a ring test per ANSI B7.1 guidelines. Do not exceed the wheel's rated maximum operating speed, and ensure wet coolant flow is established before beginning the grinding pass.
