ULTRA-THIN CUT-OFF WHEELS FOR RIGHT ANGLE GRINDING

Norton Abrasives (Worcester, MA) has expanded its RightCut cut-off wheels with a new ultra-thin line of .040 thick products in their BETTER (Charger) and GOOD (Metal) offering of products for the metal fabrication, construction and industrial markets. The new line complements Norton’s existing RightCut lineup of cut-off wheels for right angle grinding, the broadest range of type 01 and type 27 wheels in the industry.

“Our new ultra-thin RightCut wheels provide metal fabricators a full range of right angle grinding solutions at all performance and price levels. Norton Norzon Plus RightCut is offered in the BEST tier for the industry’s top performance and lowest total cost solution, Charger RightCut in the BETTER tier for an excellent mix of high performance and competitive price and Gemini RightCut and Metal offerings in the GOOD line for end users that are looking for solid performance at a great price level,” said David Long, Director of Marketing, Strategy and Marketing Information at Saint-Gobain Abrasives, the parent of the Norton line.

The Norton RightCut line of ultra thin .040 wheels covers Type 01 straight and Type 27 depressed center cut-off wheels from 4 in to 6 in. These wheels provide quick, burn-burr free cutting and low kerf loss. All are full fiberglass reinforced for the demanding nature of portable cut-off. These include:

NORTON NORZON PLUS RIGHTCUT
NorZon Plus RightCut offers the “best” cut-off wheels, made with the premium combination of Norton SG seeded-gel ceramic alumina and Norzon zirconia alumina abrasives, in the fastest cutting bond system. Extensive internal and field tests prove that these NorZon Plus wheels perform up to 100 percent better than competitive high-performance wheels and up to 10 times better than aluminum oxide wheels. Improved performance was found across all grinding jobs, from exotic alloys and stainless steel to gray iron.
