Norton 69014192165 Diamond Grinding Wheel 6 in 120 Grit

Product Description

The NORTON 69014192165 is a Type 1A1R superabrasive diamond surface grinding wheel designed for precision flat grinding applications. It measures 6 inches in diameter with a 0.035-inch thickness and a 1-1/4 inch arbor hole. The wheel features Armored Synthetic Diamond (ASD) abrasive at 120 grit with a resinoid bond, offering controlled stock removal on hard and brittle materials. The superabrasive layer depth is 9/32 inch at a concentration of 100, and the hardness code is R, classified as a soft-grade wheel. Licensed machinists, toolroom operators, and precision grinding technicians are the primary installers and operators of this wheel.

This wheel is suited for surface grinding operations on carbide, ceramics, glass, hardened tool steels, and similar hard or brittle workpieces. Type 1A1R geometry is a standard straight-faced configuration used on horizontal-spindle surface grinders in toolroom, job shop, and production environments. The thin 0.035-inch face profile makes it appropriate for applications requiring minimal kerf and tight dimensional tolerances on flat surfaces.

Key Features

• Armored Synthetic Diamond (ASD) abrasive for extended wheel life on hard materials
• 120 grit coarse grade for efficient stock removal
• Resinoid bond provides controlled cut rate and surface finish
• Type 1A1R straight wheel geometry suits standard horizontal-spindle surface grinders
• 9/32-inch superabrasive depth and 100 concentration for consistent performance throughout wheel life
• Thin 0.035-inch face width minimizes material loss per pass

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit superabrasive wheel for horizontal-spindle surface grinders accepting a 6-inch diameter, 1-1/4-inch arbor hole, Type 1A1R straight wheel. Specification designation ASD120-R100B99-9/32 can be cross-referenced for direct substitution.

Installation Notes

Superabrasive grinding wheels must be mounted and operated by qualified personnel following ANSI B7.1 and the grinder manufacturer's safety guidelines. Inspect the wheel for cracks or damage before mounting and always perform a ring test prior to installation. Ensure the machine spindle speed does not exceed the maximum operating speed marked on the wheel, and use only compatible flanges and blotters as specified by the wheel manufacturer. Power down and lock out the grinder before changing wheels.
