Norton 61463610207 Dressing Stick 150 Grit 6 in Square

Product Description

The NORTON 61463610207 is a square-profile silicon carbide dressing stick used to true, open, and dress grinding wheels during abrasive machining operations. At 150 grit with a very fine grade rating, it removes minimal material per pass while restoring wheel face geometry and clearing loaded or glazed abrasive surfaces. The vitrified bond construction provides consistent breakdown and exposure of fresh abrasive grains. Measuring 6 x 0.5 x 0.5 inches and weighing 0.5 pounds, this stick is sized for hand-held use at bench grinders, tool-and-cutter grinders, and surface grinders. Machinists, tool room technicians, and grinding wheel operators are the primary users.

This dressing stick is suited for use on superabrasive wheels and vitrified bond grinding wheels in both production and maintenance shop environments. The silicon carbide abrasive material makes it effective for dressing harder wheel compositions. Typical applications include restoring wheel face flatness after dress intervals, opening loaded wheel faces on ferrous and non-ferrous workpiece grinding, and correcting minor wheel runout at the face. The square cross-section allows for consistent edge and face contact during the dressing pass.

Key Features

• Vitrified bond construction promotes consistent abrasive grain exposure
• Square cross-section provides stable, repeatable contact with wheel face
• 6-inch length gives adequate hand clearance during bench or pedestal grinder use
• Rated for use on superabrasive and vitrified bond grinding wheels
• Black silicon carbide grain suited for dressing hard and dense wheel structures

Compatibility

Rated for use on superabrasive wheels and vitrified bond grinding wheels per manufacturer application data.

Installation Notes

Dressing sticks are used by machinists and tool room personnel — no installation trade license is typically required, but safe grinding machine operation practices apply. Before dressing, power down the grinder completely and inspect the wheel for cracks or damage per ANSI B11.9 grinding safety guidelines. During dressing, hold the stick firmly against the tool rest and advance it across the wheel face at a controlled rate. Never apply excessive side pressure or force the stick into the wheel abruptly, as this can cause stick fracture or wheel damage.
