Norton 61463610466 Silicon Carbide Square Dressing Stick 46 Grit

Product Description

The NORTON 61463610466 is a square-profile silicon carbide dressing stick designed to true, dress, and open the face of vitrified and superabrasive grinding wheels. At 46 grit coarse grade with a vitrified bond, it aggressively removes glazed abrasive material and restores proper wheel geometry for consistent stock removal. The black silicon carbide abrasive cuts hard, dense wheel faces efficiently, making it a standard shop tool for wheel maintenance on surface grinders, tool-and-cutter grinders, and bench grinders. Measuring 6 inches long by 1 inch wide by 1 inch thick, it provides a stable, full-hand grip during the dressing operation and weighs approximately 1 pound.

This dressing stick is suited for use in machine shops, tool rooms, fabrication facilities, and grinding operations where wheel face condition directly affects part finish and dimensional accuracy. It is used on vitrified bond grinding wheels and superabrasive wheels, including CBN and diamond wheel forms that require periodic face correction. The coarse 46 grit construction makes it particularly effective at opening loaded or glazed wheel faces quickly between grinding operations. Machinists and grinding technicians keep this stick at the machine for routine wheel maintenance.

Installation Notes

Wheel dressing should be performed by a qualified machinist or grinding technician following the machine manufacturer's guidelines. Power down or engage the wheel guard before positioning the dressing stick, then restart the spindle and apply the stick to the rotating wheel face with steady, controlled pressure. Do not force the stick into the wheel face or allow it to catch on the wheel edge. Wear appropriate eye protection and follow applicable shop safety standards when dressing abrasive wheels.
