Norton 61463610490 Dressing Stick 24 Grit Silicon Carbide

Product Description

The NORTON 61463610490 is a square dressing stick designed to true, dress, and open the faces of superabrasive and vitrified grinding wheels. Made from silicon carbide abrasive in a vitrified bond, it cuts aggressively at 24 grit, making it suited for restoring wheel geometry and removing glazing or loading. The stick measures 8 inches long by 2 inches wide by 2 inches thick. At a very coarse grade, it removes material quickly and is the right choice when a wheel face needs significant reshaping or conditioning before fine dressing steps. Licensed grinding and toolroom technicians typically keep these on hand for regular wheel maintenance.

This dressing stick is used in toolroom, production grinding, and maintenance shop environments wherever vitrified or superabrasive wheels are operated. It is appropriate for surface grinders, cylindrical grinders, and bench grinders running vitrified bond wheels. The very coarse 24-grit silicon carbide construction works efficiently on hard and dense wheel faces that have become glazed or out of true during extended use. It is a single-piece stick sold individually.

Compatibility

Designed for use on superabrasive wheels and vitrified bond grinding wheels as stated by the manufacturer. Refer to wheel manufacturer guidelines to confirm dressing stick grit and bond compatibility before use.

Installation Notes

Dressing sticks are used by grinding machine operators and toolroom technicians. Before dressing a wheel, power down the grinder and verify the wheel guard is properly seated, then bring the machine to operating speed before applying the stick. Hold the dressing stick firmly against the wheel rest or use a fixture to maintain consistent contact angle across the wheel face. Eye protection and a face shield are required during any grinding wheel dressing operation per ANSI B11 and OSHA standards.
