Norton 69014192306 Surface Grinding Wheel 180 Grit

Product Description

The NORTON 69014192306 is a Type 1A1 diamond surface grinding wheel designed for precision surface grinding applications requiring a very fine finish. The wheel measures 10 inches in diameter and 0.5 inches thick, with a 3-inch arbor hole and a 0.25-inch superabrasive depth. It uses Armored Synthetic Diamond (ASD) abrasive at 100 concentration, bonded with a resinoid bond system and rated at a soft hardness grade (R). At 180 grit, this wheel is suited to finish grinding operations where surface quality is the primary objective. Weight is 3.48 pounds. Licensed machinists, tool-and-die makers, and precision grinding technicians are the typical end users.

This wheel is built for surface grinding machines equipped with a 3-inch arbor. The 180-grit, very fine grade makes it appropriate for finish passes on hard and brittle materials such as carbide, ceramics, and hardened steel where dimensional accuracy and surface finish improvement are required. It supports both wet and dry operation, giving shops flexibility in coolant use. The Type 1A1 straight wheel profile fits standard surface grinder spindle configurations. The Norton ASD series designation confirms the use of Armored Synthetic Diamond abrasive at full 100 concentration for consistent stock removal at fine grit levels.

Key Features

• 180 grit, very fine grade for finish surface grinding and improved workpiece surface quality
• Armored Synthetic Diamond (ASD) abrasive at 100 concentration for consistent cut and long wheel life
• Resinoid bond provides controlled flexibility and good finish characteristics
• Soft hardness rating (R) releases abrasive efficiently on hard, dense workpiece materials
• Supports wet and dry operation for compatibility with coolant-equipped and dry grinding setups
• Type 1A1 straight wheel profile with no recess and no taper for straightforward mounting

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit wheel for surface grinding machines accepting a Type 1A1 straight wheel with a 3-inch arbor hole and a 10-inch diameter.

Installation Notes

Surface grinding wheels must be installed by qualified grinding machine operators or toolroom machinists following ANSI B7.1 safe mounting practices. Power down and lock out the grinder before mounting or removing a wheel. Inspect the wheel for cracks or chips before installation and perform a ring test on vitrified wheels; resinoid-bond wheels should be visually inspected per manufacturer guidance. Never exceed the maximum operating speed marked on the wheel, and always dress the wheel before the first grinding pass to true the face and expose fresh abrasive.
