New Norton Charger Plus Depressed Center Wheels

The zirconia alumina abrasive in Norton Charger Plus wheels is the best grain to cut and grind stainless steels, according to recent tests conducted by Saint-Gobain Abrasives. The smooth grinding action enhances both the cut rate and life of the wheel and lets the wheel do the work, not the operator. The clean bond contains no sulphur, iron or chlorine, eliminating the opportunity for contamination (e.g. rust, etc.), and makes the wheel softer acting. Charger Plus wheels for stainless applications are available in 1/8-inch thickness for cutting and light grinding and 1/4-inch thickness for heavier stock removal.

The wheels are designed for welding, metal fabrication, foundry, construction, pipeline and petrochemical applications. All Charger Plus wheels feature a blend of advanced performance zirconia alumina and aluminum oxide. The blending of these two abrasive types results in a high-performance wheel that is value priced. On-the-job tests of Charger Plus wheels have proven that the increased ratio of aggressive grinding and cutting zirconia alumina grain in Charger Plus wheels produces a 30 percent average performance improvement, the company said.
 


The new Charger Plus portable grinding wheels for stainless steel feature a blend of advanced performance zirconia alumina and alumina oxide that allows operators to be 30% more productive. Charger Plus wheels for stainless applications are the only available zirconia alumina wheel with a clean bond on the market today.

"Operators can grind faster with less force and less fatigue," said a company spokesperson. "They can spend less time grinding, increasing their output and lowering total grinding and finishing costs. Plus, the longer wheel life provides the added benefit of less downtime changing wheels."

Charger Plus Type 27-inch and 1/4-inch thick grinding and cutting wheels are available in 4, 4 1/2, 5, 6, 7 and 9-inch diameters with both 7/8 and 5/8-11 center holes. Type 28 saucer wheels are available in 7 and 9-inch diameters, 1/4-inch thickness and 5/8-11 center holes.
