Norton 61463610280 Aluminum Oxide Dressing Stick 220 Grit

Product Description

The NORTON 61463610280 is a square aluminum oxide dressing stick designed to true, open, and condition superabrasive grinding wheels. At 220 grit, this stick falls in the very fine grade range, making it suited for precise dressing operations where wheel face geometry and surface finish matter. The vitrified bond construction provides consistent friability, allowing the stick to break down evenly during use and expose fresh abrasive grains. Measuring 8 inches in length with a 3/4 inch by 3/4 inch square cross-section, it gives the operator a solid, controlled grip during dressing passes. Weighing 0.8 pounds, it is a compact, single-piece tool used in grinding and machining environments.

This dressing stick is used to dress, true, and clean superabrasive wheels including CBN and diamond grinding wheels in both production and tool-room grinding applications. It is appropriate for use in machine shops, grinding centers, and maintenance environments where wheel condition directly affects part finish and dimensional accuracy. Typical users include machinists, tool grinders, and grinding equipment maintenance technicians working with precision surface, cylindrical, or tool and cutter grinders.

Installation Notes

Dressing sticks are applied by qualified machinists or grinding technicians with the grinding machine powered on and the wheel rotating at operating speed. Always wear appropriate eye protection and ensure the wheel guard is in place before beginning any dressing operation. Hold the stick firmly and apply light, consistent pressure against the rotating wheel face to avoid chipping the wheel or the stick. Follow the grinding machine manufacturer's dressing procedure recommendations and applicable shop safety protocols.
