Norton Gemini Grinding and Combination/Pipeline Wheels
Description
The Norton Gemini Grinding and Combination/Pipeline Wheels feature a premium aluminum oxide grain for a 15% faster cut rate. Advanced bond technology and wheel hardness are designed for making fast cuts and provide up to 60% longer life and metal removal per wheel compared to previous generation products.
The upgraded wheels are designed with ergonomics in mind, offering a controlled yet aggressive feel without causing the fatigue of other competitive high-performance wheels. Also, the new Gemini wheels have been updated with large, industry standard icons that cross language barriers and are an on-the-wheel reminder of proper machine selection, safe usage, and required personal protective equipment.
Enhanced for pipeline applications, the Gemini Combination Wheels feature a bond that has been optimized for 30-deg. angle grinding and 90-deg. angle notching. The wheel construction is more dense and thinner, making it a good choice for multi-pass welding with tight clearances.
Norton Gemini Wheels are also a good choice for grinding 400 series stainless and hard-grade carbon steel applications including weld repairs, flashing, multi-pass welding for pipefitting, and notching. Key market segments are metal fabrication and welding, as well as oil and gas/pipeline. Offhand stock removal, smoothing welds, beveling, and notching are all ideal applications.
