Norton 614636-85980 Crystolon Oilstone Coarse Grit 11.5in

Product Description

The NORTON 614636-85980 is a Crystolon oilstone designed for sharpening cutting tools and blades using a petroleum-based honing oil. Built from silicone carbide abrasive, this coarse-grit stone cuts quickly to remove nicks, reshape edges, and establish a working bevel on heavily worn or newly ground tools. At 11.5 inches long, 2.5 inches wide, and 0.5 inches thick, it provides a stable, full-length sharpening surface suited for a wide variety of blade profiles. The gray coloration is characteristic of the silicone carbide matrix. Weighing 1.32 pounds, it is light enough for bench or portable use. This stone is intended for use by tradespeople, maintenance professionals, and skilled technicians who require consistent edge preparation on hand tools, chisels, plane irons, and similar cutting implements.

The 614636-85980 is well suited for initial edge work in shop environments, maintenance facilities, and jobsite settings. Coarse-grit stones like this one are typically the first step in a multi-stage sharpening sequence, removing material fast before a finer stone refines the edge. It is appropriate for use on high-carbon steel, tool steel, and similar hard metals. This oilstone format requires a light application of honing oil to float away swarf and prevent the stone from glazing during use.

Installation Notes

Always apply a suitable petroleum-based honing oil to the stone surface before and during use to prevent glazing and carry away metal swarf.
