Norton 61463610362 Dressing Stick 80 Grit Aluminum Oxide Square

Product Description

The NORTON 61463610362 is an aluminum oxide dressing stick designed to true, open, and condition superabrasive grinding wheels. Built in a square profile and bonded with a vitrified bond, this stick removes glazing and loaded material from wheel faces to restore cutting action and maintain wheel geometry. At 80 grit, it falls in the medium grade range, making it well suited for general-purpose wheel conditioning where moderate stock removal from the wheel surface is needed. Grinding wheel dressers and shop technicians working with CBN or diamond wheels rely on this type of stick to keep wheel profiles accurate and cutting surfaces free-cutting during production runs.

This dressing stick is intended for use on superabrasive wheels, including CBN and diamond grinding wheels, in tool and cutter grinding, surface grinding, and cylindrical grinding applications. It performs in both light manufacturing and production shop environments where wheel condition directly affects workpiece finish and dimensional accuracy. The white aluminum oxide composition suits dressing operations where contamination of the wheel bond must be minimized.

Key Features

• 80 grit medium grade aluminum oxide for controlled wheel face conditioning
• Square cross-section for consistent contact across flat and profiled wheel faces
• Vitrified bond provides a rigid, durable matrix that wears evenly during dressing
• White aluminum oxide composition minimizes contamination risk to superabrasive wheel bonds
• 4 inch length gives adequate hand clearance and usable stick life before replacement

Compatibility

Designed for dressing superabrasive grinding wheels, including CBN and diamond wheel types used in surface, cylindrical, and tool and cutter grinding operations.

Installation Notes

Dressing sticks are used by grinding machine operators and tool room technicians. Before dressing, confirm the grinding wheel is properly guarded and the machine spindle is running at rated speed. Hold the stick securely against the tool rest or fixture and apply light, consistent pressure across the wheel face. Do not apply excessive side force against the wheel, as this can cause stick breakage or uneven wheel wear.
