Norton 69014192114 Diamond Surface Grinding Wheel 180 Grit

Product Description

The NORTON 69014192114 is a Type 1A1R diamond surface grinding wheel designed for precision flat grinding on hard and brittle materials. Built with Armored Synthetic Diamond (ASD) abrasive in a metal bond matrix, this wheel delivers consistent stock removal and a controlled finish on materials such as carbide, ceramics, glass, and hardened tool steels. The 180 grit rating places it in the medium grade range, suitable for applications requiring a balance of material removal and surface finish quality. At 8 inches in diameter and just 0.05 inches thick, the wheel profile is optimized for surface grinding operations on rotary or reciprocating surface grinders.

This wheel is used primarily in toolroom, production grinding, and precision machining environments. The 1-1/4 inch arbor hole fits standard surface grinder spindles commonly found in industrial and job shop settings. The 1/8 inch superabrasive depth and 75 concentration rating make it a reliable choice for grinding carbide tooling, technical ceramics, and similar hard materials where conventional abrasives wear too quickly. Licensed grinding professionals and toolroom machinists are the typical end users for this product.

Key Features

• Armored Synthetic Diamond (ASD) abrasive for high wear resistance on hard and brittle materials
• Metal bond construction provides rigid support and extended wheel life in wet or dry grinding
• 180 grit medium grade delivers a balance of cut rate and surface finish quality
• Type 1A1R form factor suited for flat surface and peripheral grinding operations
• 1/8 inch superabrasive depth with 75 concentration for consistent performance throughout wheel life
• 0.05 inch wheel thickness minimizes material kerf and heat buildup during precision grinding

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use diamond grinding wheel for surface grinders accepting an 8 inch diameter, 1-1/4 inch arbor hole, Type 1A1R wheel configuration.

Installation Notes

Diamond grinding wheels must be mounted and operated by qualified machinists or grinding technicians familiar with ANSI B7.1 safety standards for abrasive wheel use. Always inspect the wheel for cracks or damage before mounting, and ensure the spindle speed does not exceed the wheel's rated maximum RPM. Power down and lock out the grinder before changing wheels. Never use a wheel whose arbor hole does not properly fit the spindle without an appropriate reducing bushing rated for the application.
