Norton 69078627986 Cut-off Wheel 20 in Zirconia Alumina

Product Description

The NORTON 69078627986 is a Type 1 (01/41) resinoid-bonded zirconia alumina cut-off wheel built for stationary grinders in heavy-duty cutting applications. The wheel measures 20 inches in diameter and 5/32 inches thick with a 1-inch arbor hole, and it is rated to a maximum of 2710 RPM. Both sides are reinforced for added structural integrity during aggressive cut-off work. The NZ Foundry All Purpose designation indicates this wheel is formulated to handle demanding ferrous cutting tasks, making it a reliable choice for fabrication shops and foundry environments where consistent, controlled cuts are required.

This cut-off wheel is designed for use on stationary grinding and cutting equipment. Its primary applications are cutting steel and stainless steel, including structural steel, pipe, plate, and fabricated components. The zirconia alumina abrasive provides a self-sharpening cut action that maintains cutting efficiency throughout the wheel's life. The NZ Foundry All Purpose specification makes it particularly well-suited for ferrous metalworking in industrial and manufacturing settings where high-volume cutting demands a durable, consistent abrasive.

Key Features

• Zirconia alumina abrasive with self-sharpening properties for sustained cut performance on ferrous metals
• Resinoid bond provides good wheel integrity and controlled cut action
• Both sides reinforced for added durability under stationary grinder loads
• Type 1 (01/41) flat wheel profile optimized for straight cut-off operations
• NZ Foundry All Purpose specification rated for steel and stainless steel cutting
• 2710 maximum RPM rating — must not be exceeded during operation

Compatibility

Designed for use with stationary grinders accepting a 20-inch diameter, Type 1 cut-off wheel with a 1-inch arbor hole. Rated for cutting steel and stainless steel per the NZ Foundry All Purpose specification.

Installation Notes

Installation and wheel changes should be performed by a qualified operator following ANSI B7.1 safety standards for the use, care, and protection of abrasive wheels. Always power down and lock out the grinder before mounting or removing a wheel. Inspect the wheel for cracks or damage before mounting, and never operate above the 2710 RPM maximum rating printed on the wheel. Ensure the arbor hole fits the spindle properly and that all flanges and guards are correctly seated before resuming operation.
