Norton 614636-87170 Round Edge Slip Sharpening Stone

Product Description

The NORTON 614636-87170 is a round edge slip sharpening stone designed for honing and maintaining the cutting edges of curved and profiled blades, gouges, and similar tools. Built on the India abrasive platform, this stone delivers coarse-grit cutting action suited for reestablishing dull or nicked edges quickly. It measures 4.5 inches long by 1.75 inches wide by 0.375 inches thick at the body, with a tapered edge profile measuring 0.125 inches at its thinnest. Weighing 0.17 pounds, it is a compact, hand-held stone that sharpening technicians and trade professionals reach for when standard flat stones cannot access the geometry of the blade being serviced.

This slip stone is used in applications where curved cutting edges require sharpening — including woodworking gouges, curved chisels, and similar profiled tools found in finish carpentry, millwork, and general trade shop environments. The coarse India grit is appropriate for initial edge restoration before progressing to finer stones. It is sold individually and is also available in box quantities of five units, making it practical for stocking in a shop or service truck.

Key Features

• Round edge slip profile accesses curved and profiled blade geometries that flat stones cannot reach
• Coarse India grit removes material quickly for edge restoration on dull or damaged blades
• Compact 4.5-inch length and 0.17-pound weight make it easy to control by hand
• Tapered cross-section with 0.375-inch thick body and 0.125-inch thin edge serves multiple blade profiles in a single stone
• India abrasive construction provides consistent, durable cutting action across repeated use

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style slip sharpening stone for use with curved and profiled cutting tools requiring coarse-grit honing; sold as model India CS34.

Installation Notes

Slip stones are hand-held sharpening tools requiring no mounting or power source. Secure the tool or blade being honed in a vise or against a stable surface before beginning. Use a honing oil or water-based lubricant appropriate for the stone type to float swarf and extend stone life. Inspect the stone for chips or cracks before each use and replace if the edge profile is no longer consistent.
