Norton 61463610103 Dressing Stick 220 Grit Aluminum Oxide Square

Product Description

The NORTON 61463610103 is a square aluminum oxide dressing stick designed to true, clean, and open the face of superabrasive grinding wheels. At 220 grit, this stick falls into the very fine grade category, making it well suited for precision dressing work where minimal material removal and a refined wheel face are required. The vitrified bond construction provides consistent abrasive exposure and predictable wear throughout the life of the stick. Measuring 6 x 0.5 x 0.5 inches and weighing approximately 0.5 pounds, it is sized for easy single-hand use on bench and surface grinders. Grinding wheel technicians and machine shop professionals are the primary users.

This dressing stick is intended for use on superabrasive wheels, including diamond and CBN wheel types commonly found in precision grinding operations. Typical applications include tool and cutter grinding, surface grinding, and cylindrical grinding setups where wheel face condition directly affects workpiece finish and dimensional accuracy. The square cross-section allows the user to rotate the stick to a fresh edge as each face wears, extending usable life. It is appropriate for both production shop environments and maintenance grinding stations.

Key Features

Installation Notes

Dressing sticks are used by qualified grinding machine operators and tool room technicians. Always power down and come to a complete stop before making any contact between the dressing stick and the wheel. Hold the stick firmly against the wheel rest or tool rest during the dressing pass to prevent it from being pulled into the wheel. Follow the grinding machine manufacturer guidelines and applicable shop safety protocols when performing wheel dressing operations.
