Grinding Disc Norton Clipper NQ24P-230x7.0x22.23-T27 NOR-Quantum 3 abrasive wheel 230 mm, 7.0 mm thickness, 22.23 mm bore

Norton Clipper NQ24P-230x7.0x22.23-T27 NOR-Quantum 3 is a 230 mm abrasive grinding disc with a 7.0 mm thickness and a 22.23 mm bore designed for angle grinders. It is intended for material removal and surface preparation on metal and masonry, providing consistent cutting and grinding performance for trade and industrial applications. The NOR-Quantum 3 formulation balances cutting speed and wheel life to suit frequent use in workshop and on-site tasks.

Advantages

The disc offers stable cutting performance and predictable wear characteristics thanks to the NOR-Quantum 3 abrasive composition. Its 230 mm diameter and 7.0 mm thickness provide a balance between removal rate and durability, while the 22.23 mm bore fits standard angle grinder spindles. The wheel is suitable for use on a variety of substrates including steel, cast iron, and concrete, enabling efficient grinding, beveling and smoothing operations.

Suitable for

• Removing weld beads and preparing welds on steel structures
• Smoothing rough metal edges and deburring
• Surface preparation of concrete and masonry prior to coatings
• On-site metal fabrication and general workshop grinding tasks

When it may not be suitable

This grinding disc is not designed for precision finishing where ultra-fine surface quality or polishing is required; its formulation focuses on material removal and surface preparation rather than mirror finishes. It is also not intended for use on delicate or thin-sheet materials where excessive material removal or heat generation could cause deformation.

Key specifications

• Diameter: 230 mm
• Thickness: 7.0 mm
• Bore (arbor) size: 22.23 mm
• Abrasive system: NOR-Quantum 3 formulation
• Primary applications: grinding, beveling, material removal on metal and masonry

How to use

Mount the disc on a compatible angle grinder with a 22.23 mm spindle and ensure the grinder's speed does not exceed the wheel's rated maximum RPM (refer to the tool and disc markings). Securely tighten the flange and check the disc for damage or cracks before each use. Hold the grinder with both hands, apply steady, even pressure, and move the disc across the workpiece along the intended grinding path. Allow the abrasive to do the cutting—avoid excessive force to reduce heat buildup and extend wheel life. Use intermittent passes when working on heat-sensitive materials to limit thermal distortion.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure your angle grinder accepts a 230 mm disc and has a compatible 22.23 mm spindle or correct adaptor.
• Confirm the disc thickness (7.0 mm) is appropriate for the intended removal rate and clearance in your application.
• Check the grinder’s maximum RPM rating and match it to the disc’s rated speed to maintain safety.
• Consider personal protective equipment requirements: eye, face, hand and respiratory protection when grinding metal or masonry.

Usage recommendations

Use the Norton Clipper NOR-Quantum 3 grinding disc with appropriate PPE and a compatible angle grinder. For longer wheel life and consistent results, avoid side-loading the disc, maintain moderate pressure, and perform regular visual checks for wear or damage. Store wheels in a dry, temperate environment away from excessive vibration or impact.
