Norton 61463610285 24 Grit Silicon Carbide Dressing Stick

Product Description

The NORTON 61463610285 is a square dressing stick designed to true, open, and clean the faces of grinding wheels during shop use. Made from silicon carbide abrasive bonded with a vitrified bond, this stick delivers aggressive material removal at 24 grit, placing it in the very coarse grade range. It measures 6 inches in length with a 0.5 inch by 0.5 inch square cross-section. Grinding wheel dressing sticks are standard shop tools for machinists, tool and die workers, and grinding equipment operators who need to restore wheel geometry or remove loading and glazing between operations.

This dressing stick is suited for truing and dressing conventional abrasive grinding wheels in both manual and production grinding environments. The silicon carbide abrasive and vitrified bond construction make it effective on aluminum oxide and other conventional wheel types. It is commonly used in machine shops, tool rooms, fabrication shops, and maintenance departments where grinding wheel condition directly affects surface finish and dimensional accuracy. The compact square stick format allows controlled hand dressing at the machine.

Installation Notes

Dressing sticks are applied by trained machinists or grinding equipment operators. Always power down or reduce the wheel to a safe, controlled speed per the wheel manufacturer and machine specifications before dressing, or follow shop standard operating procedures for in-operation dressing. Secure loose clothing and use appropriate eye protection. Do not apply excessive pressure against the wheel face; use steady, light contact to avoid uneven dressing or stick breakage.
