Norton 69014191856 Diamond Grinding Wheel 180 Grit 7in

Product Description

The NORTON 69014191856 is a Type 1A1 diamond surface grinding wheel designed for precision finish grinding on hard and brittle materials. Built on a resinoid bond matrix with a synthetic diamond (SD) abrasive at 100 concentration, this wheel delivers consistent stock removal and surface finish improvement on tool and cutter grinding applications. It measures 7 inches in diameter, 1/2 inch thick, with a 1-1/4 inch arbor hole and a 1/4 inch superabrasive depth. The 180 grit, very fine grade is suited for finish passes where surface quality is the primary objective. This wheel is rated for wet operation and carries a soft hardness rating (R) for controlled, cool cutting action.

This grinding wheel fits surface grinders and tool grinders used in machine shops, tool rooms, and maintenance environments. It is intended for finish grinding operations on carbide tooling, ceramics, and other hard or brittle workpiece materials where achieving a fine surface finish is the goal. Wet grinding is required to maximize wheel life and workpiece quality. The wheel is part of the Norton Diamond series and is specified as SD180-R100B99-1/4, making it identifiable for reorder and cross-reference by machine operators and tooling managers.

Key Features

• Synthetic diamond abrasive at 100 concentration for consistent, aggressive cutting on hard materials
• 180 grit very fine grade optimized for finish grinding and surface improvement
• Resinoid bond provides vibration dampening and a smooth grinding action
• Soft hardness rating (R) promotes free cutting and reduces heat buildup in wet operation
• Type 1A1 straight wheel profile with no recess for straightforward mounting and dressing
• 1/4 inch superabrasive depth maximizes usable wheel life before core exposure

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit grinding wheel for surface grinders and tool grinders accepting a 7 inch diameter, 1-1/4 inch arbor hole, Type 1A1 straight wheel configuration.

Installation Notes

Diamond grinding wheels must be installed and operated by qualified machinists or grinding technicians following ANSI B7.1 safety standards for abrasive wheel use. Always inspect the wheel for cracks or chips before mounting and perform a ring test per manufacturer guidelines. Power down and lockout the grinder before mounting or removing the wheel. Never exceed the maximum operating speed marked on the wheel, and ensure coolant flow is established before engaging the workpiece in wet grinding applications.
