Norton 61463610462 Silicon Carbide Dressing Stick 24 Grit

Product Description

The NORTON 61463610462 is a square-profile silicon carbide dressing stick designed for truing and dressing grinding wheels in machine shop and tool-grinding applications. Measuring 6 inches long by 1 inch wide by 1 inch thick, this stick uses a vitrified bond with 24-grit silicon carbide abrasive, placing it firmly in the very coarse grade range. That combination makes it well-suited for aggressive material removal when reshaping or opening up the face of a grinding wheel. Machinists, tool-and-die makers, and surface-grind operators are the typical users. The black silicon carbide grain cuts fast and is chemically stable under heat, making it effective on hard, brittle wheel materials.

This dressing stick is used primarily to condition superabrasive wheels and vitrified grinding wheels. It restores proper wheel geometry, removes glazing, and exposes fresh abrasive grain so the wheel cuts cleanly and efficiently. Typical applications include surface grinders, cylindrical grinders, and bench grinders found in production shops, maintenance departments, and toolroom environments. The 24-grit rating suits situations where a wheel face needs significant reshaping rather than fine dressing or finish work.

Key Features

• Silicon carbide abrasive grain for fast, aggressive dressing action on hard wheel materials
• 24 grit, very coarse grade — removes glazing and reshapes wheel profiles efficiently
• Vitrified bond provides structural rigidity and consistent grain exposure during use
• Square stick profile, 6 x 1 x 1 inches, for easy hand-held or fixture-mounted dressing
• Black colorway consistent with silicon carbide grain composition
• Rated for use on superabrasive wheels and vitrified wheels

Compatibility

Designed for dressing and truing superabrasive wheels and vitrified grinding wheels across a range of stationary grinder types common in toolroom and production machining environments.

Installation Notes

Dressing sticks are used by qualified machinists or grinding machine operators. Before dressing, power down and fully stop the grinding wheel or follow the machine manufacturer's recommended dressing procedure if dressing under power with a fixture. Always wear appropriate eye protection and a dust mask rated for abrasive dust when dressing grinding wheels. Do not apply excessive side pressure on the stick — let the abrasive do the work to avoid chipping the wheel face or breaking the stick.
