Norton 61463610459 Sic Square Dressing Stick 20 Grit

Product Description

The NORTON 61463610459 is a silicon carbide square dressing stick used to true, open, and condition grinding wheels in precision and production grinding applications. At 20 grit, this very coarse grade stick removes glazing and loading from wheel faces quickly, restoring wheel cut rate and surface finish quality. The vitrified bond construction provides a rigid, porous structure that breaks down consistently under use, continually exposing fresh abrasive grain. Measuring 6 x 1 x 1 inches and weighing approximately 1 pound, it is sized for easy single-hand use at the machine. Grinding wheel maintenance technicians, tool and die makers, and machine operators are the typical users.

This dressing stick is suited for conditioning aluminum oxide, CBN, and other grinding wheels used in surface grinding, cylindrical grinding, and tool room applications. The 20 grit very coarse grade is most appropriate for aggressive wheel opening on heavily loaded or glazed wheels where maximum material removal from the wheel face is the priority. It is a standard bench and pedestal grinder maintenance item found in metalworking shops, production grinding cells, and maintenance departments.

Key Features

• 20 grit very coarse silicon carbide abrasive for aggressive wheel face conditioning
• Vitrified bond provides rigid, consistent breakdown and open grain structure
• Square stick shape allows use on flat wheel faces and in corners
• 6 x 1 x 1 inch size fits comfortably in one hand during dressing
• Restores wheel cut rate by removing glaze and embedded workpiece material

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose dressing stick for conditioning vitrified and resinoid grinding wheels where a very coarse silicon carbide abrasive is appropriate for the wheel specification and application.

Installation Notes

Dressing sticks are used by qualified machine operators and grinding technicians. Always power down the grinder and allow the wheel to come to a complete stop before inspecting wheel condition. When dressing under power, follow the machine manufacturer's procedures and use appropriate eye protection and a face shield. Do not apply excessive force against the wheel face; let the abrasive do the work to avoid wheel damage or breakage.
