Norton 61463610290 Aluminum Oxide Dressing Stick 220 Grit

Product Description

The NORTON 61463610290 is a square aluminum oxide dressing stick designed for conditioning and truing superabrasive grinding wheels. At 220 grit with a very fine grade rating, it removes glazing and opens up wheel faces to restore cutting action and maintain consistent geometry. The vitrified bond construction delivers controlled, uniform wear, making it well-suited for precision dressing applications where wheel face integrity directly affects part finish. This stick measures 4 inches in length by 3/4 inch wide by 3/4 inch thick and weighs 0.8 pounds. It is a standard shop consumable handled by grinding technicians, tool-and-die shops, and production grinding operations.

This dressing stick is intended for use on superabrasive wheels, including diamond and CBN wheel types common in surface grinding, cylindrical grinding, and tool sharpening setups. The 220 grit aluminum oxide compound cleans and conditions wheel surfaces without aggressive stock removal, making it appropriate for fine-tolerance wheel maintenance where a lighter dressing pass is preferred over coarser dressing media.

Key Features

• 220 grit, very fine grade aluminum oxide abrasive for light, controlled wheel dressing
• Square stick shape for consistent edge contact across wheel face
• Vitrified bond for predictable, even wear during the dressing pass
• 4 x 3/4 x 3/4 inch dimensions suit standard wheel dressing fixtures and manual hand dressing
• White aluminum oxide composition rated for superabrasive wheel applications

Compatibility

Rated for use on superabrasive wheels. Consult wheel manufacturer specifications to confirm dressing stick grit and bond type are appropriate for the specific wheel grade and bond system in use.

Installation Notes

Dressing sticks are used by grinding machine operators and toolroom technicians. Before dressing a wheel, power down the grinder and confirm the wheel guard is properly in place before restarting. Apply the dressing stick with steady, even pressure across the wheel face while the wheel is spinning at operating speed — never press a dressing stick against a stationary wheel under power-up. Eye protection and a face shield are required during all wheel dressing operations per standard shop safety practice.
