Norton 61463610415 Aluminum Oxide Dressing Stick 60 Grit

Product Description

The NORTON 61463610415 is a rectangular aluminum oxide dressing stick designed to true, open, and condition superabrasive grinding wheels. It removes loading and glazing from wheel faces, restoring cutting action and maintaining proper wheel geometry. The stick measures 4 inches long, 1/2 inch thick, and 3/4 inch wide, making it easy to handle and control during dressing operations. It is bonded with a vitrified bond and carries a 60-grit, medium-grade abrasive structure. The white aluminum oxide formulation provides consistent, predictable cutting. Grinding wheel technicians, tool and die machinists, and precision grinding operators rely on this type of dressing stick for routine wheel maintenance.

This dressing stick is used in shop and production environments where superabrasive wheels — including CBN and diamond wheels — require periodic dressing to restore profile and surface condition. It suits bench grinders, surface grinders, cylindrical grinders, and tool grinders where wheel performance must be maintained between jobs. The compact rectangular form allows targeted dressing of wheel faces and edges. It is appropriate for both manual dressing passes and controlled dressing fixtures on light-duty applications.

Compatibility

Designed for dressing superabrasive grinding wheels as stated in the product application data. Suitable for use with CBN and diamond wheels on bench, surface, cylindrical, and tool grinders in typical shop environments.

Installation Notes

Dressing sticks are used by machinists and grinding technicians as part of routine wheel maintenance. Always power down the grinder and confirm the wheel has come to a complete stop before inspecting or repositioning the dressing stick. When dressing, apply firm, even pressure across the wheel face using appropriate work-holding or hand technique per shop procedure. Follow ANSI B7.1 and applicable shop safety standards for grinding wheel operation and dressing.
