Norton 61463610555 Aluminum Oxide Dressing Stick 220 Grit

Product Description

The NORTON 61463610555 is a square aluminum oxide dressing stick used to true, dress, and open the face of superabrasive grinding wheels. At 220 grit, it falls in the very fine grade range, making it suited for finish dressing where minimal stock removal and precise wheel geometry are the priorities. The vitrified bond construction holds the aluminum oxide abrasive firmly while still fracturing cleanly under dressing pressure, allowing the stick to expose fresh abrasive on the wheel face. Measuring 4 inches long by 0.5 inches wide by 0.5 inches thick, it fits standard dressing fixtures and can also be hand-held during off-machine truing by experienced wheel technicians.

This dressing stick is applied to superabrasive wheels, including CBN and diamond wheel types used in precision grinding operations. Typical applications include surface grinders, cylindrical grinders, and tool and cutter grinders running vitrified or resin-bond superabrasive wheels that need periodic re-truing. The white aluminum oxide composition and vitrified bond make it a stable choice for controlled dressing passes in both production shop and maintenance environments. Grinding technicians and tool room machinists are the primary users of this type of stick.

Installation Notes

Dressing sticks of this type are used by grinding machine operators and tool room technicians. Before dressing, power down or disengage the machine spindle per shop lockout/tagout procedures if performing off-machine dressing. When dressing a rotating wheel, follow the wheel manufacturer and machine manufacturer guidelines for feed rate and dressing pressure. Do not apply excessive force against the wheel face, as uneven contact can cause wheel damage or inaccurate truing.
