Norton 61463610605 Sic Dressing Stick 320 Grit 6x1x1 in

Product Description

The NORTON 61463610605 is a square silicon carbide dressing stick used to true, open, and condition grinding wheels during shop maintenance. At 320 grit with an extra fine grade and a vitrified bond, this stick removes loading, restores wheel profile, and exposes fresh abrasive grain on superabrasive and conventional wheels alike. It measures 6 inches in length with a 1-inch by 1-inch square cross-section, giving the user a solid grip and consistent contact face. Vitrified bond construction provides dimensional stability and controlled breakdown, making it well suited for precision dressing work in tool rooms, production grinding cells, and maintenance shops.

This dressing stick is intended for use on superabrasive wheels, including CBN and diamond grinding wheels, where controlled dressing is required to maintain geometry and surface finish. It is also appropriate for conditioning conventional abrasive wheels that have glazed or loaded surfaces. Typical applications include bench grinder maintenance, surface grinder wheel prep, and tool-and-cutter grinder work in both job shop and production environments. The extra fine 320 grit makes it the right choice when minimal stock removal and a refined wheel face are the priority.

Installation Notes

Dressing sticks are applied by hand or with a fixture against a rotating grinding wheel by a qualified machinist or grinding technician. Always ensure the grinding machine guard is in place and the wheel is running at its rated speed before applying the stick. Hold the stick firmly and present it squarely to the wheel face to avoid chipping or uneven dressing. Use appropriate eye protection and follow the machine manufacturer's safe operating procedures.
