Aluminum Oxide Cutting Technology for Steel and Ferrous Metals



Norton/Saint-Gobain has introduced an upgrade to its Norton Gemini RightCut Wheels. The aluminum oxide (A/O) option is designed for cutting steel and ferrous metals.

"The latest generation Norton Gemini RightCut wheels are 100% A/O abrasive and infused with a new bond technology and process for a thinner wheel design and low kerf loss," said a company spokesperson. "Strong, extra-thin .045 inch wheels result in less material waste and quick cutting action. Providing a clean, precise, burr-free cut, RightCut wheels offer up to 20% faster cutting than a standard wheel. The wheels are longer lasting, extending wheel usage up to 70% more than conventional wheels. The new Norton Gemini RightCut wheels also require less pressure while cutting, giving operators a more comfortable, easier-to-use cut-off solution."

Norton Gemini RightCut wheels are designed for portable, guarded right angle grinders and may be utilized for a variety metal slotting and cut-off applications, including on bolts and studs, angle iron, tubing and sheet metal in a variety of materials ranging from carbon to stainless steel. Type 01 (4" - 7") and Type 27 (4" - 9") wheels are available.
