Norton 61463610205 150 Grit Silicon Carbide Square Dressing Stick

Product Description

The NORTON 61463610205 is a square silicon carbide dressing stick designed to true, clean, and open the face of vitrified and superabrasive grinding wheels. At 150 grit, it falls in the very fine grade range, making it well suited for controlled material removal from wheel faces without aggressive stock loss. The vitrified bond construction provides consistent abrasive breakdown during use, helping maintain wheel geometry and cutting performance. At 0.5 pounds, the stick is compact and easy to handle during bench or machine dressing operations. Licensed grinding technicians and tool room machinists reach for this stick when a wheel begins to glaze, load, or run out of true.

This dressing stick is used in tool rooms, grinding shops, and maintenance environments wherever vitrified or superabrasive wheels require periodic conditioning. It is appropriate for both surface and cylindrical grinding setups. The 6-inch length gives sufficient reach across most bench grinder and surface grinder wheel faces, while the square 0.5 x 0.5 inch cross-section allows the operator to rotate to a fresh edge as each face wears. Typical applications include dressing CBN wheels, conventional vitrified aluminum oxide wheels, and diamond wheels used in precision grinding operations.

• Vitrified bond construction promotes consistent abrasive breakdown during dressing
• Square cross-section allows rotation to a fresh edge as the stick wears
• 6-inch length provides adequate reach across standard bench and surface grinder wheels
• Black color stock for easy identification on the tool room bench

Compatibility

Designed for dressing superabrasive wheels and vitrified bond grinding wheels in bench grinder and precision surface grinder applications.

Installation Notes

Dressing sticks are used by grinding machine operators and tool room machinists. Before dressing a wheel, power down the grinder and confirm the wheel has come to a complete stop, or follow the machine manufacturer's procedure for on-machine dressing with appropriate guards in place. Always wear eye protection and follow applicable shop safety protocols when dressing abrasive wheels. Do not apply excessive lateral pressure to the stick, as this can cause uneven wear or chip the wheel face.
