Norton 61463610375 Silicon Carbide Dressing Stick 150 Grit

Product Description

The NORTON 61463610375 is a square silicon carbide dressing stick used to true, open, and condition grinding wheels during routine maintenance. Measuring 6 inches long by 0.75 inches wide by 0.75 inches thick, this stick features a vitrified bond and 150-grit silicon carbide abrasive rated at very fine grade. The black silicon carbide grain cuts fast and works effectively on hard, brittle bond systems. Grinding wheel dressing sticks are standard consumables for machine shops, tool rooms, and maintenance departments where wheel face condition directly affects surface finish and cut rate.

This dressing stick is suited for use on superabrasive wheels and vitrified bonded wheels in both bench grinder and pedestal grinder applications. Typical use is in tool and die shops, industrial maintenance facilities, and production grinding operations where operators need to restore wheel geometry, remove glazing, or expose fresh abrasive grain. The square profile allows consistent contact across the wheel face and edge work when dressing corners or profiles.

Key Features

• 150-grit very fine silicon carbide abrasive for controlled material removal during dressing
• Vitrified bond provides a rigid, free-cutting structure suitable for hard wheel bond systems
• Square stick profile allows flat-face dressing and edge or corner profile work
• 6-inch length provides extended service life and a secure hand grip during use
• Black silicon carbide grain — effective on vitrified and superabrasive wheel types

Compatibility

Designed for dressing superabrasive wheels and vitrified bonded grinding wheels. Consult wheel manufacturer recommendations to confirm dressing stick grit and bond compatibility before use.

Installation Notes

Grinding wheel dressing is performed by qualified machine operators or maintenance technicians following shop safety procedures. Always ensure the grinder is at full operating speed before applying the dressing stick, and use the tool rest or fixture support to maintain consistent contact angle. Wear appropriate eye protection and a face shield during dressing operations. Do not apply excessive side pressure, which can cause the stick to snap or create uneven wheel wear.
