Norton 61463610333 Dressing Stick 24 Grit Square Vitrified

Product Description

The NORTON 61463610333 is a square dressing stick made from silicon carbide abrasive with a vitrified bond, designed to dress, true, and open grinding wheels used in metalworking, toolroom, and maintenance applications. At 24 grit, this is a very coarse grade stick that aggressively removes glazed or loaded material from wheel faces, restoring cutting action and surface geometry. The vitrified bond provides a rigid, porous structure that resists heat and chemical exposure during dressing operations. It measures 6 inches in length with a 3/4 inch by 3/4 inch square cross-section and weighs 0.8 pounds. Grinding wheel maintenance techs and toolroom machinists are the primary users.

This dressing stick suits bench grinders, pedestal grinders, and surface grinders found in fabrication shops, maintenance facilities, and toolrooms. It is applied by hand-feeding the stick against the rotating wheel face to remove dull, glazed, or clogged abrasive grains. The 24 grit, very coarse grade makes it especially effective for coarser grinding wheels that require aggressive redressing rather than fine conditioning. Its square shape allows use on flat wheel faces as well as wheel sides when truing is needed.

Key Features

• Silicon carbide abrasive construction for effective dressing of vitrified and resinoid grinding wheels
• 24 grit very coarse grade removes glazed and loaded wheel surfaces quickly
• Vitrified bond delivers rigid, heat-resistant structure for consistent performance
• Square cross-section provides flat contact surface for uniform wheel dressing
• 6-inch length offers extended service life and good hand control during use

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose dressing stick for use on bench, pedestal, and surface grinding wheels where a coarse-grade silicon carbide stick is appropriate for restoring wheel geometry and cutting action.

Installation Notes

Dressing sticks are used by grinding machine operators and toolroom machinists and do not require permanent installation. Always power down and allow the grinding wheel to come to a full stop before inspecting wheel condition. When dressing, wear appropriate eye protection and ensure the wheel guard is in place before restarting the grinder. Hold the stick firmly against the tool rest and apply light, consistent feed pressure against the rotating wheel face to avoid cracking or uneven wear on the stick.
