Norton 61463610214 Silicon Carbide Dressing Stick 220 Grit

Product Description

The NORTON 61463610214 is a square-profile silicon carbide dressing stick used to true, clean, and open the face of grinding wheels. At 220 grit with a very fine grade, it removes glazing and loaded material from superabrasive and vitrified bond wheels, restoring sharp cutting action and proper wheel geometry. The vitrified bond construction gives the stick good form-holding properties and consistent abrasive exposure across its 6-inch length. Measuring 0.5 inches by 0.5 inches in cross-section, the square shape allows the technician to work the wheel face and corners with control. Grinding machine operators and tool room technicians rely on this stick as a routine maintenance item.

This dressing stick is suited for use in tool rooms, production grinding cells, and precision machining environments where wheel condition directly affects surface finish and dimensional accuracy. It is specifically rated for dressing superabrasive wheels and vitrified bond wheels. Typical applications include restoring wheel face flatness after heavy material removal, clearing metal loading from the abrasive matrix, and conditioning wheels before a finishing pass. The silicon carbide abrasive cuts cleanly against vitrified bond systems without introducing contamination to the grinding process.

Key Features

• Silicon carbide abrasive material for effective cutting on vitrified bond wheels
• Vitrified bond provides consistent abrasive exposure and good form retention
• Square 0.5 x 0.5 inch cross-section allows access to wheel face and corners
• 6-inch length gives adequate hand-held control during dressing operations
• Black coloration typical of silicon carbide vitrified dressing sticks

Compatibility

Rated for use on superabrasive wheels and vitrified bond grinding wheels as stated by the manufacturer.

Installation Notes

Dressing sticks are used by grinding machine operators and tool room machinists. Always power down and bring the grinding wheel to a full stop before inspecting the wheel or handling the stick outside of an active dressing operation. During dressing, follow the machine manufacturer's guidelines for feed rate and contact pressure. Wear appropriate eye protection and follow shop safety procedures for abrasive operations.
