Norton 61463610438 Silicon Carbide Dressing Stick 150 Grit

Product Description

The NORTON 61463610438 is a square silicon carbide dressing stick used to true, dress, and open the face of grinding wheels. At 150 grit, it falls in the very fine grade range, making it well suited for conditioning superabrasive and vitrified bond wheels that require precise surface restoration without aggressive material removal. The vitrified bond construction provides consistent abrasive breakdown, maintaining a free-cutting wheel surface throughout the dressing process. The stick measures 6 inches long by 1 inch wide by 1 inch thick and weighs approximately 1 pound.

This dressing stick is used by machinists, tool grinders, and precision grinding technicians in both shop and production environments. It is primarily applied to superabrasive wheels and vitrified bond grinding wheels that have become glazed, loaded, or out of true. The square profile allows flat, controlled contact across the wheel face. It is a standard hand-held or fixture-mounted dressing tool appropriate for surface grinders, cylindrical grinders, and bench grinders running compatible wheel types.

Key Features

• Silicon carbide abrasive material provides effective dressing action on hard and superabrasive wheel bonds
• 150 grit very fine grade for controlled, precise wheel conditioning
• Vitrified bond construction delivers consistent abrasive exposure during use
• Square stick shape ensures uniform, flat contact with the wheel face
• 6 x 1 x 1 inch dimensions offer a substantial working length for extended service life
• Black silicon carbide composition suited for dressing harder wheel materials

Compatibility

Designed for dressing and truing superabrasive wheels and vitrified bond grinding wheels. Consult wheel manufacturer documentation to confirm dressing stick grade and grit are appropriate for the specific wheel specification in use.

Installation Notes

Dressing sticks are applied by qualified machine operators or grinding technicians following standard wheel dressing procedures. Power down and isolate the grinder before inspecting or mounting wheels, then bring the machine to operating speed before presenting the dressing stick to the wheel face. Apply light, consistent pressure to avoid chipping or fracturing the stick or the wheel. Follow applicable ANSI B11 or OSHA grinding safety standards when operating grinding equipment.
