Norton 61463610471 Silicon Carbide Dressing Stick 24 Grit

Product Description

The NORTON 61463610471 is a silicon carbide dressing stick used to true, dress, and open the face of grinding wheels. This square-profile stick measures 8 inches long by 1 inch wide by 1 inch thick and features a vitrified bond construction. At 24 grit, it falls in the very coarse range, making it effective for aggressive material removal during wheel face restoration. It is commonly used by machinists, tool and die technicians, and grinding equipment operators in metalworking and precision grinding environments. The black silicon carbide abrasive provides the cutting action needed to condition hard and superabrasive wheel faces quickly.

This dressing stick is suited for use on superabrasive wheels and vitrified bond grinding wheels in both production shop and maintenance settings. It is applied manually by pressing the stick against the rotating wheel face to remove glazed or loaded abrasive material and restore the wheel to proper cutting condition. It is appropriate for use in machine shops, tool rooms, and fabrication facilities where grinding wheel maintenance is performed regularly.
