Norton 3X Grinding Wheels
Choose an option to view item availability.
These are designed for tough grinding jobs, such as reshaping turning tools, grinding hard alloys, heavy material removal in tool-making and restoration, or sharpening small or rounded tools that could hollow softer wheels.
They have a hard grade-K bond, yet run cooler than standard wheels because the ceramic alumina abrasive micro-fractures to expose fresh cutting edges, reducing friction. The wheels do not wear quickly, so require truing less often.
Two grits are available: 46x for heavy stock removal and a general-purpose 80x. The 6" and 8" wheels have 1" arbor holes; the 6" has four bushings (for 1/2", 5/8", 3/4", and 7/8" shafts); the 8" has three bushings (for 5/8", 3/4", and 7/8" shafts). Maximum rpm is 5410 for the 6" wheels and 3600 for the 8".
Note: The 8" wheel should be used only on grinders that are designed for 8" wheels, with no modification to the grinder.
