Norton 61463610393 Silicon Carbide Dressing Stick 80 Grit

Product Description

The NORTON 61463610393 is a silicon carbide square dressing stick designed to true, clean, and open grinding wheel faces on superabrasive and vitrified bond wheels. Measuring 6 inches long by 1 inch wide by 1 inch thick, this stick uses an 80-grit, medium-grade abrasive bonded in a vitrified matrix. The vitrified bond provides consistent breakdown and controlled wear, keeping the dressing action uniform across the wheel face. Tool and die shops, production grinding operations, and surface grinding technicians use this stick to restore wheel geometry and remove loading or glazing that reduces cut rate and surface finish quality.

This dressing stick applies to bench grinder setups, surface grinders, cylindrical grinders, and tool grinders where superabrasive or vitrified bond wheels require periodic conditioning. The 80-grit silicon carbide composition makes it well suited for dressing harder bond wheels where faster stock removal from the wheel face is needed to re-expose fresh abrasive grain. It is equally applicable in job shop and production environments where wheel performance must be maintained consistently between dressing cycles.

Key Features

• 80-grit silicon carbide abrasive for aggressive wheel face conditioning
• Vitrified bond construction delivers consistent, controlled dressing action
• Medium grade balances dressing speed with wheel wear rate
• Square cross-section allows flat, repeatable contact with the wheel face
• 6-inch length provides extended service life and good hand control
• Black silicon carbide composition suited for dressing superabrasive and vitrified wheels

Compatibility

Designed for use on superabrasive wheels and vitrified bond grinding wheels as a manual or fixture-held dressing stick.

Installation Notes

Dressing sticks are used by grinding technicians and tool room machinists. Before dressing, power down the grinder and confirm all guards are in place before restarting for the dressing pass. Hold the stick securely or fix it in a suitable holder to maintain consistent contact angle and pressure against the rotating wheel face. Follow the wheel manufacturer guidelines and applicable ANSI B11 machine tool safety standards for wheel speeds and dressing procedures.
