Norton 69014192203 Surface Grinding Wheel 180 Grit

Product Description

The NORTON 69014192203 is a Type 1A1 diamond surface grinding wheel designed for precision surface grinding operations requiring a very fine finish. It measures 6 inches in diameter and 1/4 inch thick, with a 1-1/4 inch arbor hole for standard spindle mounting. The wheel uses synthetic diamond (SD) abrasive bonded in a vitrified matrix, rated at 100 concentration with a 1/8 inch superabrasive depth. With a medium hardness (P) and 180 grit rating, it is suited for finish-improvement passes on hard or brittle materials. This wheel is designed for wet operation and is installed by tool-and-die machinists, surface grinder operators, and precision grinding technicians.

This wheel is intended for surface grinding applications where final finish quality is the primary goal. The vitrified bond provides consistent cut characteristics and good form retention across extended use. It is appropriate for precision grinding of hard materials such as carbide, ceramics, glass, and hardened tool steels in both shop and production environments. The wet-operation requirement means it must be used with a compatible coolant or grinding fluid delivery system to maintain wheel integrity and workpiece surface quality.

Key Features

• Type 1A1 straight wheel profile for flat surface grinding applications
• Synthetic diamond abrasive at 100 concentration for consistent material removal
• Vitrified bond with medium hardness (P) for stable, predictable performance
• 180 grit very fine grade rated for finish improvement passes
• 1/8 inch superabrasive depth for extended wheel life
• Wet operation design requires coolant delivery during use

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use grinding wheel for surface grinders accepting a 6 inch diameter, 1/4 inch thick, Type 1A1 wheel with a 1-1/4 inch arbor hole.

Installation Notes

Installation and dressing of diamond grinding wheels should be performed by a qualified machinist or grinding technician familiar with wheel mounting safety standards. Always power down and lock out the grinder before mounting or removing the wheel. Inspect the wheel for cracks or chips before installation and confirm the machine spindle speed does not exceed the wheel's rated maximum RPM. Wet operation requires a functioning coolant system to be in place and verified before the wheel is run under load.
