Grinding Wheel for Bench Grinder Norton Clipper STARLINE 38A 150x20x32/20 white

Norton Clipper STARLINE 38A grinding wheel, size 150x20x32/20 mm in white, designed for use with bench grinders. This wheel is intended for general-purpose metalworking tasks such as sharpening, deburring and surface conditioning. The white abrasive composition is selected to provide a finer finish and lower risk of contamination during work on steels and other metals, while the specified outer diameter, thickness and bore fit common bench grinder setups.

Advantages

The grinding wheel offers consistent abrasive performance and predictable material removal rates. Its white abrasive composition promotes a finer surface finish compared with coarser, darker wheels and reduces the transfer of foreign materials onto the workpiece. The wheel's dimensional specification ensures compatibility with many bench grinders and supports stable mounting for safe operation when fitted correctly.

Suitable for

• Sharpening hand tools such as chisels, plane irons and cutting blades
• Deburring edges after cutting or machining
• Surface conditioning and light stock removal on steel components
• General-purpose bench grinding tasks requiring a finer finish

Key specifications

• Outer diameter: 150 mm
• Thickness: 20 mm
• Bore configuration: 32/20 mm (suitable for stepped arbors or reduction sleeves)
• Abrasive color and type: white abrasive for finer finishes and reduced contamination

How to use

Ensure the bench grinder is unplugged before mounting the wheel. Check that the wheel fits the grinder arbor and that any reduction sleeves or flanges are the correct size. Inspect the wheel for cracks or damage prior to mounting. Mount the wheel securely and tighten the arbor nut to the manufacturer's recommended torque without overtightening. When operating, use appropriate eye and hand protection, maintain a consistent contact angle and avoid excessive pressure to prevent glazing or overheating. Allow the wheel to do the cutting and use light, steady passes for sharpening and finishing.

Usage recommendations

Use a suitable eye shield, hearing protection and gloves when grinding. Dress the wheel periodically with a wheel dresser to restore the cutting surface and maintain efficiency. For smaller bores, use an appropriate reduction sleeve; for secure operation ensure guards and tool rests are adjusted to recommended distances from the wheel.
