Norton General Purpose Toolroom Grinding Wheels for Metals
Use these wheels for precision grinding on surface, cylindrical, and tool and cutter grinders. They are also known as Type 1 wheels and straight wheels.
Truing and cleaning before first use is recommended.
38A white wheels are for light material removal. They stay cool during use, so they're a good choice for heat-sensitive applications. They are aluminum oxide, which is the most common abrasive used in grinding metal.
Caution: Use only accessories that have a greater rpm rating than the maximum speed of the grinder you choose.
