Norton 69078609033 Cut-off Wheel 20in Aluminum Oxide

Product Description

The NORTON 69078609033 is a 20-inch diameter Type 1 flat cut-off wheel designed for aggressive material removal on steel and stainless steel. Built with aluminum oxide abrasive and a resinoid bond, it delivers consistent cut speed and extended wheel life in stationary cutting applications. At 3/16 inches thick with sides reinforced for added durability, this wheel operates up to a maximum rated speed of 2710 RPM. The 1-inch arbor hole provides a secure, centered mount on compatible stationary saws and chop saws. It carries the Gemini Free Cut specification, indicating optimized cutting performance with reduced heat buildup. Fabricators, ironworkers, and industrial maintenance technicians are the primary users of this wheel.

This cut-off wheel is intended for use with stationary tools such as cold saws, abrasive chop saws, and industrial cutoff machines. It is well suited for cutting structural steel, pipe, bar stock, angle iron, and stainless steel components in fabrication shops, manufacturing facilities, and heavy industrial maintenance environments. The reinforced construction handles the demands of repetitive production cutting where wheel integrity under load is critical.

Key Features

• 20-inch diameter with 3/16-inch thickness for deep, precise cuts on structural stock
• Aluminum oxide abrasive with resinoid bond for consistent cut rate and wheel longevity
• Sides reinforced for added strength under lateral load and vibration
• Type 1 flat wheel profile compatible with standard stationary cut-off machine arbors
• Rated to 2710 RPM maximum operating speed
• Gemini Free Cut specification for reduced friction and heat generation during cutting

Compatibility

Designed for use with stationary abrasive cut-off tools and chop saws that accept a 20-inch diameter Type 1 wheel with a 1-inch arbor hole. Suitable for cutting steel and stainless steel workpieces.

Installation Notes

Installation and wheel changes must be performed by qualified personnel with the machine fully powered down and locked out per OSHA lockout/tagout requirements. Verify that the machine spindle speed does not exceed the 2710 RPM maximum rating stamped on the wheel before mounting. Inspect the wheel for cracks, chips, or damage before each use and discard any wheel that shows signs of compromise. Always use the appropriate flanges and never over-tighten the arbor nut, as excess clamping force can stress the wheel.
