Metal Conditioning Wheels

Steel conditioning wheels are used in mills and foundries to resurface billets, slabs, blooms and rolls and remove defects, scale and cracks. Grinding with hot pressed wheels can be carried out on cold, warm or hot (above 700øC) work piece temperatures to achieve the required surface finish. Also used for roll grinding in foundries.

Bench & pedestal wheels

Norton's range of wheels for bench and pedestal grinders includes the most commonly used wheel diameters, arbour sizes, abrasive types and grit sizes for all metal removal, deburring, shaping and sharpening needs.

Large Snagging Wheels

Norton offers a range of products for snagging operations in the foundry industry. Type 01 straight wheels are used on portable machines and type 06 and 11 cup wheels on vertical grinders. Since finish tolerances are not usually critical, coarse, durable wheels are used with grit sizes ranging from 16 to 24 for applications in foundries, welding shops, steel mills and forge shops.

Portable grinding wheels

For portable grinding applications Norton produces a variety of resin bonded wheels, in flat and cup shapes for portable snagging, grinding down and smoothing weld seams, cleaning metal before welding and levelling metal surfaces prior to welding.
