Norton 69078608926 Cut-off Wheel 20 in Zirconia Alumina

Product Description

The NORTON 69078608926 is a heavy-duty Type 1 (01/41) cut-off wheel engineered for demanding metal cutting on stationary grinders. Measuring 20 inches in diameter with a 5/32-inch thickness and a 1-inch arbor hole, this wheel uses a zirconia alumina abrasive grain bonded in a resinoid matrix with reinforced sides for added structural integrity. It is rated to a maximum of 2,710 RPM and carries the NZ Foundry Cut specification, making it a reliable choice for high-volume cutting operations in fabrication and foundry environments. Licensed trades and industrial cutting operators are the primary installers and users of this product.

This cut-off wheel is designed for use with stationary grinders in applications involving steel and stainless steel. Its NZ Foundry Cut designation indicates suitability for tough ferrous cutting tasks typical of foundry floors, metal fabrication shops, and structural steel work. The reinforced side construction supports the side loads that can occur during cut-off operations on fixed grinding machines. The 20-inch diameter and 5/32-inch thickness deliver efficient material removal without excessive kerf loss.

Key Features

• Zirconia alumina abrasive grain for aggressive cutting performance on steel and stainless steel
• Type 1 (01/41) flat wheel profile designed for straight cut-off operations
• Resinoid bond provides controlled hardness and consistent wheel wear
• Reinforced on both sides for added durability under operational stress
• Rated at 2,710 maximum RPM for use on stationary grinders
• NZ Foundry Cut specification for heavy ferrous cutting applications

Compatibility

Designed for use with stationary grinders. Suitable for cutting steel and stainless steel workpieces. Verify that the grinder arbor accepts a 1-inch hole and that the machine operating speed does not exceed 2,710 RPM before mounting.

Installation Notes

This wheel must be installed by qualified personnel familiar with abrasive wheel safety per ANSI B7.1 requirements. Power down and lock out the stationary grinder before mounting or removing the wheel. Inspect the wheel for cracks or chips before each use and never operate above the rated maximum RPM. Always use the appropriate flanges and guards as specified by the grinder manufacturer.
