Norton 61463610597 320 Grit Dressing Stick 8x1x1 in

Product Description

The NORTON 61463610597 is an aluminum oxide dressing stick designed to true, open, and condition superabrasive grinding wheels used in precision grinding operations. It features a 320 extra fine grit rating and a vitrified bond construction, which provides consistent breakdown and controlled wear during the dressing process. Measuring 8 inches in length with a 1 x 1 inch square cross-section, this stick offers a firm, stable grip and uniform contact across the wheel face. It is well suited for tool and die shops, surface grinding operations, and any application requiring precise wheel face restoration on CBN or diamond superabrasive wheels.

This dressing stick is used in industrial and precision machining environments where superabrasive wheels require frequent conditioning to maintain cutting efficiency and surface finish quality. The square stick shape allows the operator to rotate to a fresh edge as wear occurs, extending the usable life of the stick. Typical users include machinists, tool grinders, and grinding wheel maintenance technicians working with high-precision surface, cylindrical, or profile grinding equipment.

Key Features

• 320 extra fine grit aluminum oxide abrasive for precise superabrasive wheel conditioning
• Vitrified bond provides consistent, controlled abrasive release during dressing
• Square stick shape allows rotation to a fresh edge as surfaces wear
• 8 inch length gives extended reach and handling control during the dressing pass
• 1 x 1 inch cross-section provides uniform contact and stable hand grip

Compatibility

Designed for use on superabrasive grinding wheels, including CBN and diamond wheel types, in precision grinding applications where fine grit conditioning is required.

Installation Notes

Dressing sticks are applied by qualified machinists or grinding technicians with the wheel spinning at operating speed. Always follow the grinding machine manufacturer's safety procedures before beginning any wheel dressing operation, including confirming proper wheel guarding is in place. Apply the stick with steady, controlled pressure against the wheel face. Personal protective equipment including safety glasses and gloves is required during use.
