Norton 69014192187 Diamond Grinding Wheel 180 Grit 3in

Product Description

The NORTON 69014192187 is a Type 1A1 diamond surface grinding wheel designed for precision surface grinding applications where a very fine finish is required. It uses synthetic diamond (SD) abrasive bonded in a resinoid matrix, delivering consistent stock removal and surface refinement on hard and brittle materials. The wheel measures 3 inches in diameter, 0.25 inches thick, with a superabrasive depth of 0.25 inches and a 0.75-inch arbor hole. Rated at 180 grit with a medium hardness (N) and 100 concentration, this wheel is specified SD180-N100B99-1/4. It is sized for bench and surface grinders used by tool and die makers, machinists, and precision grinding technicians.

This wheel is suited for wet surface grinding operations focused on improving finish quality on carbide, ceramic, glass, and other hard or brittle workpiece materials. Its Type 1A1 straight wheel profile fits standard surface grinder spindles. The no-recess, non-tapered design simplifies mounting on compatible arbors. It is commonly used in tool rooms, maintenance shops, and precision manufacturing environments where final surface finish is the primary objective rather than aggressive stock removal.

Key Features

• Synthetic diamond abrasive for grinding hard and brittle materials including carbide and ceramics
• 180 grit very fine grade for improved surface finish
• Resinoid bond provides controlled cut with good surface quality
• Medium hardness rating (N) with 100 superabrasive concentration for consistent performance
• Type 1A1 straight profile with no recess and no taper for straightforward mounting
• Wet operation rating helps manage heat and extend wheel life during use

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard fitment for surface grinders accepting a 3-inch diameter Type 1A1 straight wheel with a 0.75-inch arbor hole.

Installation Notes

A qualified machinist or grinding technician should mount and dress this wheel. Before mounting, power down and lock out the grinder per OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Inspect the wheel for cracks or chips before installation and perform a ring test. Do not exceed the wheel's rated maximum operating speed, and ensure coolant flow is established before beginning wet grinding operations.
