Norton 69014192176 Surface Grinding Wheel Type 1A1 Diamond

Product Description

The NORTON 69014192176 is a Type 1A1 straight-cup surface grinding wheel engineered for precision finishing applications. It uses synthetic diamond (SD) abrasive bonded with a resinoid bond system, delivering consistent stock removal and surface refinement on hard materials. The wheel measures 1.5 inches in diameter, 0.5 inches thick, with a 0.5-inch arbor hole and a 0.125-inch superabrasive depth. Hardness is rated Medium (Code N) at a concentration of 100. Designed for wet operation, it is suited to tool and cutter grinding, flat surface finishing, and carbide or ceramic workpiece preparation performed by skilled trade machinists and tool grinders.

This wheel fits bench or surface grinders configured for small-diameter tooling. Its Fine grade and D6/12MIC-N100B99-1/8 specification make it appropriate for finishing passes rather than aggressive material removal. Typical applications include sharpening carbide-tipped tooling, lapping hard ceramic components, and producing tight surface-finish tolerances in a wet-grinding setup. The compact 1.5-inch diameter suits precision grinding fixtures and smaller spindle configurations common in production and maintenance grinding environments.

Key Features

• Synthetic diamond (SD) abrasive for consistent performance on carbide, ceramic, and hard materials
• Resinoid bond provides controlled cut rate and smooth finish on fine-grade passes
• Type 1A1 straight configuration with no recess for straightforward mounting
• Wet operation design helps manage heat and extend wheel life during prolonged use
• Medium hardness (Code N) at 100 concentration for balanced abrasive retention
• Specification code D6/12MIC-N100B99-1/8 for precise technical cross-referencing

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit grinding wheel for surface and bench grinders accepting a 0.5-inch arbor hole and a 1.5-inch diameter Type 1A1 wheel in wet-grinding configurations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or tool grinder familiar with abrasive wheel mounting procedures. Power down and lock out the grinder spindle before mounting or removing the wheel. Inspect the wheel for cracks or chips before installation and perform a ring test per ANSI B7.1 guidelines. Always use the correct flange and blotter assembly and confirm wheel speed does not exceed the rated RPM before operating.
