Product Information
Full details
The Norton Blaze X-Treme Disc 50mm P36 is an industrial-grade grinding tool designed for professional metalworkers and fabricators who require rapid material removal. Its primary advantage is its ability to maintain an excessive metal removal rate even under medium pressure, making it ideal for heavy-duty grinding and surface preparation. A notable caveat is that its aggressive P36 grit is specifically engineered for material removal rather than fine finishing, meaning users will need a secondary abrasive for polishing or refining surfaces.

FAQs
What does P36 grit mean?
P36 is a coarse grit rating, which identifies the disc as a heavy-duty tool meant for fast, aggressive material removal rather than smooth finishing.
Does this disc fit any standard angle grinder?
It fits any grinder that uses a 50mm TR (quick-change) compatible backing pad; it will not fit a standard 4.5-inch arbor-mount grinder without the appropriate adapter.
Can I use this on wood or plastic?
While it can grind those materials, it is specifically designed for metal. It may clog quickly or cause burning if used on softer materials like wood.
How do I know when the disc is worn out?
The disc is worn out when the abrasive grains are visibly flattened or when the cutting efficiency significantly drops even under moderate pressure.
Is this disc reusable?
Yes, if the abrasive surface is still intact, you can remove it and reattach it later, provided the threaded connector remains clean and secure.
Troubleshooting
Disc spins but does not remove material effectively
The disc may be loaded with metal debris; use a cleaning stick to remove clogs or replace the disc if worn down.
Disc keeps vibrating or vibrating excessively
Check that the disc is centered correctly on the backing pad and that the backing pad itself is not damaged or unbalanced.
Disc comes loose during operation
Ensure the SpeedLok connection is tightened securely and verify that there is no metal dust buildup in the threads.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Significantly faster material removal than standard discs
- Effective at medium pressure, minimizing user strain
- SpeedLok quick-change system minimizes machine downtime
- Robust design ensures longevity under industrial workloads
Cons
- P36 grit is too coarse for final surface finishing
- Requires a compatible TR (quick-change) backing pad
- Not suitable for light sanding or delicate materials
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin using the Norton Blaze X-Treme Disc, ensure your pneumatic or electric angle grinder is equipped with a compatible 50mm TR quick-change backing pad. Align the disc's threaded hub with the center of the backing pad and rotate it clockwise until it locks into place. During operation, keep the disc relatively flat against the work surface to prevent uneven wear. Avoid excessive gouging by using light to medium pressure; let the P36 ceramic grain do the work. After use, inspect the disc for signs of loading (clogged metal particles) and store in a cool, dry place to maintain the integrity of the adhesive backing.
